Rick,

I had a Triton II. Shortly after I bought it, Ten-Tec offered an 8 pole
filter upgrade. I had it done and thought the band was dead when I first got
the radio back. Then I realized there were plenty of signals. They no longer
blended together! :-}

73,
John

Well I need to correct my own post.
(sri)

The Triton I was the 510 and had 50w out.
The Triton II was the 520 and identical to the 510, except it 100w out.
They both also had 4-pole xtal lattice filters, like the Argonauts.
AND they both also had the 4-kHz tuning rate on 10m like the Argonauts.

The Triton IV 540 was analog, the 544 was digital.  Otherwise they were
identical.
They had the 8-pole filter, 4x 500 Hz band segments on 10m and it was the
10m band which was hotter.

I think I have it correct now.

Rick, DJ0IP
