[TenTec] Triton 4 Question

[Mike Hyder -N4NT-]

When the 242 remote VFO is used with the 544, the frequency is displayed on 
the rig regardless of where the frequency is generated.  For this reason an 
additional frequency readout is not needed.

I believe the 242 had more oscillator circuits than just the PTO and 
contained mixer(s).  I am not sure of just what went on inside the 242, but 
it has a bandswitch and even a small bandswitch for the 10 meter segments.

The early 544 rigs needed a minor modification prior to using the external 
PTO but I don't know off-hand what that modification was for.

73, Mike N4NT

I recently acquired a VFO out of a Triton IV and am thinking about making my
own remote VFO for my Triton IV (model 544).
<SNIP>So the question is --Has any one out there who still is using an
analog radio tackled anything like this and problems that you might have
encountered.
Pete: Could you post any answers you receive? Triton IV's aren't too hard
too find, but the 242 is!
By the way, the 544 is digital, the 540 was analog; all 242's were analog,
but worked fine with the 244 readout.
