Thanks, Steve, for reminding about the
power supply being internal to the Century 21.
Yep, that would explain the height difference
between the C21 and other rigs which are
without the internal power supply.
And my apologies to you and everyone about
my typo -- my notes indeed have Triton
written in them, and not Trident (which I
believe are submarines). Don't know what
I was thinking at the time....
The updated lineage, released as version
1 will be out in a day or so. I'm hoping the
manager of the unofficial Ten Tec pages
will find a place amongst the articles to
store a copy for everyone.
Cheers/73. Kevin, K9IUA
