[TenTec] 1253 Receiver kit

[Bill]

Bob,

I, like you, wanted a fun project for the time I was rehabbing after a small stroke. The 1253 seemed intriguing on Youtube so I went for it and NO regrets. A fun build and it worked just like the Regen RX of my youth except for the band switching. Sure, you gotta fiddle with the controls and not expect too much performance wise, but I think its fun to play with and just what I was looking for. BTW, the instruction manual that came with my kit a month ago did not look at all like a copy. Nice and sharp print and diagrams.

73,  Bill  K3UJ

Thanks, guys, for the  inputs on the 1253 receiver.  I'm just getting 
tchy to build a kit. Must be the winter WX.  Not sure what I want, yet, 
f not a receiver, then maybe a T-T 1300 series QRP transceiver or a 
mall Wonder Labs kit.  Maybe the appeal is the black panels and knobs 
nd the white lettering on the Ten Tecs that remind me of the the WWII 
urplus gear I played with when I was a kid in high school!
