New Prices For the Holidays!

I really didn't want to do this, however, to make Christmas work at this
house I must sell some of my pride TenTec QRP rigs. For sale are:
 
        1. Argonaut 509 with many XTRAS! It comes with the TenTec
external matching #208 cw filter, TenTec external matching #206
calibrater, matching TenTec #210 qrp pwr sup for the 509, books and all
connecting cables. All are in pristine condition! You will not find a
cleaner 509 station! This was only used on field days with solar panels.
My favorite qrp station to date!
        Price - $380.00  and you pay shipping 
 
        2. Argo-556 (qrp brother to the Scout - Becoming Hard To Find!).
This comes with 3 band modules, 80, 40, and 20 mtrs. Audio on this unit
is superb. Argo is like new - pristine! Rarely used (made 14 contacts in
last 18 months). Jones filter is super! Great station for on the go QRP!
        Price - $395.00   and you pay shipping
 
        3. Scout-555 (Pwr can be turned down to qrp level). This station
comes with the following band modules: 160, 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, and
10 (missing only the 12mtr module). (These band modules are getting very
hard to find as TenTec has no more stock!) Like the Argo, the Scout is
like new! Jones filter is something to behold! Used maybe 10 times with a
battery as pwr sup. Great portable rig with a little extra power if
needed!
        Price - $550.00   and you pay shipping
 
        4. Argonaut-II with XTRAS!  This station has been a work horse in
the fact of obtaining several qrp awards. It is very clean and all
functions work as
per specs. Even the green back-lite is bright. (No replacement needed
here.) Along with it goes the very hard to find TenTec #290 QRP - Step
Attenuator board that attaches to the back. This board in
itself is an extremely rare find. Like new condition (I don't think the
step-attenuator has ever been used - still wrapped and taped in TenTec
plastic with all connecting cables.) This is an extreme dream QRPers
station! Even though the new QRP 516 is out, this model will still hold
its on and actually will go down to QRPp milliwatt power with the
step-attenuator. Full coverage of below AM broadcast to 30Mhz on receive
on all modes including AM. Transmit on USB, LSB, CW, and FM. The Jones
filter is a dream to work with! New it was well over $1100 with out the
step-attenuator! This station is unique and pristine!
         Price - $595.00  and you pay shipping
 
First come - first serve. Do not let these rare QRP stations by TenTec
pass you by. Selling for the holiday only.
