TenTec Items For Sale:

TenTec Delta 580 HF transceiver
This transceiver will cover from 160 thru 10 meters with 100 
Watts output.  It has a nice red LED digital readout.  Notch 
filter is built in.  Of course it has the CW QSK that TenTec is 
famous for.  It needs 13 V DC at about 20 amps to operate.
This particular Delta works 100%, and looks very good also.  
The PTO has been rebuilt in the last couple years, so it works 
really great.  Original manual is included for $300.

TenTec 299 Voice synthesized frequency read out
This unit is used with the TenTec Omni 546 series A, B, C,
some Argonauts, Corsair, and others.  It will work with 
other rigs (such as the Triton), with minor mods to get 
the right connections.
The 299 is used primarily for blind hams who can not read the
frequency readout on the transceiver.  By pushing a button, it
will "speak" the frequency (to tenth of a KHz).  A front panel
switch permits selection of the entire frequency, or you can
eliminate the MHz, and give only the KHz.  There is also a
volume control on the front panel.
Of course it can also be used to give a "voice digital readout"
to a rig with an analog dial.
This particular unit is in great shape electrically.  Cosmetically
it has some minor wear.  $ 190 

"Switcher / 25" 25 amp switching power supply
This is a 25 amp switching power supply in a case that 
matches the early Omni series case, with the metal bezel 
around it.  It is in a case that is the same size as a 243 
remote VFO.  It has an ammeter on the front, along with 
Switch, TenTec logo, and output bulb.  The front panel 
basically looks like a 280 power supply with a metal bezel, 
but says "Switcher/25" on it. It is very quiet, and well 
shielded, and does not produce any electrical noise that 
I could find. I am not positive if TenTec made this, or if it 
is homebrew to look like TenTec.  If it is homebrew, it 
certainly is very professionally done.  $150

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
