[TenTec] price check, used Herc II

[Steve Ellington]

There's a few things about the Herc that make it nice. The band change
system will interface with many Tentec rigs such as my Omni C and QSK is as
simple as plugging the key into the amp and running a cable to the key input
of any rig. Next is the almost total lack of any fan noise while other amps
are rather loud. This turns your rig into a 500w transceiver.
Also the remote control head may come in handy for some applications.
