TenTec 585 Paragon HF transceiver
This rig covers 160 thru 10 meters, including the WARC
bands. It has a general coverage receiver, that includes
SSB, CW, and AM. An optional FM adapter is available
for it. Of course it has digital readout, memories, scan,
dual VFOs, PBT, notch filter, etc. Up to 100 Watts output,
that can be adjusted down to milliwatts. This particular unit
works 100% and looks really great. Big inch thick manual
is included. TenTec sells these used for $795. This one
is just as nice, but is only $650.
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 any rig with an analog dial, or used a normal frequency counter.
This particular unit is in great shape electrically. Cosmetically
it looks nice, but has some very minor wear. $ 190
Prices do not include shipping from Florida.
Thanks.
