All of these items are used with the TenTec Model 555
"Scout" HF transceiver.
Band modules for 80/75, 20, and 15 meters.

TenTec 715 RF Speech Processor:
The Model 715 RF Speech Processor is a high performance
true RF-type speech processor designed to operate with
most modern HF Amateur Radio transceivers. RF speech
processing is a superior system to traditional AF
systems found in a typical HF transceiver.
..Increase average SSB power output by up to 6 dB
..Enhance readability by stations hearing your signal
..Break pileups for DXpeditions faster
..Keep your net or contest run frequency clearer
..Easy to install, easy to operate
The 715 RF speech processor is installed between the
microphone and the microphone jack on your transceiver.
Two microphone inputs are provided -- an 8 pin microphone
connector wired for TenTec and Yaesu, and a 1/8” input
used for direct connection of microphones. 13 V DC required.
This particular unit works 100% and looks like new.
Paper work is included for $200.
TenTec 234 RF Speech Processor
The 234 is the predecessor to the 715 speech processor
(listed above) except it matches the early Omni Series
A, B, and C rigs, and others of that era. It has both a
4 pin plug and a 1/4 inch stereo jack for input. It needs
13 V DC at low current. It is an extremely effective unit,
typically providing about a 6 db increase in talk power.
With paperwork for $150.
HyGain DCU-1 Deluxe Digital Rotor Control Box:
The innovative DCU-1 Pathfinder Digital Rotor control unit
gives you automatic operation of your brake and rotor. It
has computer control with RS-232 pass through and is compatible
with many logging and contest programs as well. It has 6 presets
for your favorite beam settings, 1 degree heading accuracy,
automatic 8-second brake delay, and 360 degree choice for
center of rotation. It operates at 110V.
The DCU-1 digital rotor control unit is compatible with the
T-2X, HAM-IV, and HAM-V families of rotators.
This unit works fine and looks fine as well.
Paper work is included for $450.
APC "Pro 7" Noise Filter and Surge Suppressor:
This unit has 7 outlets, with a 6 foot cord, and provides
surge suppressor for your equipment. It also provides
noise filtering / EMI / RFI suppression of 60 db. There
is $75,000 worth of insurance included. It comes with a
lifetime warranty, and I think this is APC's "Top of the
line" unit.
Detailed specs can be found at
http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=PRO7
This one appears to be new, unused, in its original box.

matches the early Omni series case, with the metal bezel
around it. It is in a case that is the same size as a 243
remote VFO. It has an ammeter on the front, along with
Switch, TenTec logo, and output bulb. The front panel
basically looks like a 280 power supply with a metal bezel,
but says "Switcher/25" on it. It is very quiet, and well
shielded, and does not produce any electrical noise that
I could find. $140
Coaxial Antenna Switches:
All work fine, look fine, and use SO-239 connectors.
B & W Model 550 A Coax Switch
This model will switch up to 5 antennas, and does NOT
ground unused antennas. Coax comes out the side, like
spokes of a wheel.
It will handle the full legal limit. $35
SCP Comm Switch SC-40-AS Coax Switch
Three position antenna switch in rectangular box.
Connectors on the back. In original box. May be new. $25
Two position "Strip Line" Coax Switches:
These switches utilize metal cavity construction for max efficiency
and high isolation. Isolation is better than 50 dB at 300 MHz
with low insertion loss less.
All are two position and are typically rated for 2500 W PEP,
and good to 600 MHz.
Diawa CS-201 - $22
Opek CX-201 - $22
MFJ 1702 C - With center position that grounds both antennas,
and added lightning protection. $25
Bird 43 Watt Meter:
The Bird 43 is an insertion type RF watt meter, designed
to measure RF power and load match in 50 ohm coaxial
transmission lines. It is intended for use with CW, AM,
FM, and TV modulation. It measures power from 100 mw
to 10KW, depending on the element used. The meter provides
direct readings in watts with an expanded scale for easy
reading. The scale is graduated for 25, 50, and 100 full
scale. Elements are available in a variety of power, and
frequency ranges.
This particular meter is model 4300.21 manufactured in
March 1957, so it is the older, well constructed model.
It has "N" connectors, with the leather handle, which
is in good shape.
The meter works well. $175
50 H Element for Bird Wattmeter
This measures 50 watts full scale over the HF spectrum

This speaker is about 4 inches square and about 2 inches
deep. It is rated for 5 watts, has an 8 ohm impedance, and
is listed as a 300 to 3000 Hz frequency response, making it
ideal for communications. It has a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) mono
plug, as used by most modern rigs. Gimbal mount included.
It is black in color, looks great, and sounds great. $12
