[TenTec] Triton IV stuff...

[k3tx]

  Congratulations on having your Triton. On the negatitive side, it's hardly 
nearly as imposing looking as many other rigs, and is certainly quite short 
on the bells-and-whistles.  On the other hand, the transmitting end is 
problem-free and excellent, and the receiver out performs many if not most 
of  transceivers at many times its cost.  I've had one for years which has 
been compared side-by-side with many JA rigs at far higher price classes, 
and the Triton always holds its own.  As for maintenance and service, so 
far, zero.

  A very desirable addition would be the T-T digital read out. One should be 
out there somewhere.  As for tuner, anything will work, and of course it's 
not as sensitive to mismatch (SWR) as many other rigs.  Almost any mic 
should be fine, though what should I, a CW op, should know.

  The best story I've heard about the Triton was from a N.Dak op I worked 
who said he had planned to use his in his pickup for use on the farm/ranch.. 
He said he pre-tested it on a paint shaker and it worked fine, so in the 
pickup it went, and he said it was just fine.

  73 from K3TX - who's tried them all, and now strictly Ten-Tec.-----

  >I just acquired a Triton IV, 540,(no digital readout).  I am looking for 
a compatible  antenna tuner and keyer, either suggestions or 'For Sale' 
items. Also, it came with the old 215 mike. Anything Ten-Tec that would be 
more effective, and would work?
