 TenTec and related Items For Sale --
 HF linear amp, RF Speech Processor, Power Supplies,
 Speakers, Wattmeter, CW Items, ARRL Handbooks,
 Connectors, and more For Sale:

 TenTec Hercules II 420 HF Amplifier:

 This is a fully solid state all-mode HF linear
 amplifier covering 1.8 to 30 MHz continuously.
 It requires 13.6 VDC at 100 A max. Drive power
 is 50 to 80 W typical for 550 W output. Maximum
 Power output on SSB/CW/RTTY is 550 W DC at 50%
 duty cycle.

 This amp features full QSK break in CW.  It can
 be remote controlled (bands switched remotely)
 from many transceivers.

 This particular amplifier looks extremely nice.
 I can not find a scratch on it.  Electrically, I
 think all works fine.  It requires a 13 V DC power
 supply in the 80 to 100 amp category.  I only have
 a 35 amp supply to test it with.  As a result, I
 only get 250 watts out of it before the power supply
 over current limit kicks off.  But all of the QSK
 and everything works fine, as long as I keep it low
 enough for the power supply I have.

 With paper work and power cord for $900.

 Power connectors for TenTec Hercules II HF Amp:

 TenTec wants a fortune for these connectors!
 These are the 12 pin, heavy duty "Molex Type" plug
 and socket as is used for power on the TenTec
 Hercules II HF Amplifier.

 Plug for on power cord
 It includes the 12 pin plug, plus the 12 pins to
 go into it, so you can make your own power cable. $15

 Socket as is on amplifier
 This is the "other end" of the power plug above.
 It is the same as what is mounted on the chassis.
 It includes the plastic shell, plus the 12 pins
 that are needed. $12

 If you use both of the above, you can make an extension
 cable for the Hercules II amplifier. Buy both for $25.

 TenTec 715 RF Speech Processor:

 The Model 715 RF Speech Processor is a high performance
 true RF-type speech processor designed to operate with
 most modern HF Amateur Radio transceivers. RF speech
 processing is a superior system to traditional AF
 systems found in a typical HF transceiver.

 ..Increase average SSB power output by up to 6 dB
 ..Enhance readability by stations hearing your signal
 ..Break pileups for DXpeditions faster
 ..Keep your net or contest run frequency clearer
 ..Easy to install, easy to operate

 The 715 RF speech processor is installed between the
 microphone and the microphone jack on your transceiver.
 Two microphone inputs are provided -- an 8 pin microphone
 connector wired for TenTec and Yaesu, and a 1/8” input
 used for direct connection of microphones. 13 V DC
 required.

 This particular unit works 100% and looks like new.
 Paper work is included for $200.

 TenTec Switching Power Supply:

 "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. $170

 Astron RS-20A Power Supply:

 The RS-20A is a DC Power Supply producing 13.8 V DC
 (internally
 adjustable from 11 to 15 V DC) at up to 16 amps continuous
 and
 20 amps ICS. The RS-20 features crowbar over voltage
 protection
 and fold-back current limiting to protect your equipment.

 This particular supply works fine, and looks very close to
 new.
 There is one very small scratch that can be seen if the
 light
 is just right, but is not normally visible.

 With paper work for $60.

 MFJ 1118 DC Power Distribution Strip:

 The MFJ-1118 is a versatile, high-current deluxe
 multiple DC power outlet. It lets you power two HF
 and/or VHF transceivers and six or more accessories
 from your transceiver's main 13 V DC power supply.
 You get two pairs of super heavy duty 30 amp 5-way
 binding posts for powering your transceivers. Each
 pair is individually fused and RF bypassed, capable
 of a total of 35 amps.

 An LED indicates power "ON". Six pairs of heavy duty,
 RF bypassed 5-way binding posts lets you power your
 accessories. They handle a total of 15 amps and are
 protected by a master fuse, have an ON/OFF power
 switch and an LED power indicator.

 You get 6 feet super heavy eight gauge color-coded
 cable with ring tongue terminals, plus a built-in
 0 - 25 VDC monitor meter.

 This unit sells new for around $85 plus shipping.
 This one is like new. Buy it for only $60.

 MFJ 815 B Cross Needle Peak Reading HF Wattmeter:

 The MFJ-815B cross-needle meter allows you to monitor both
 forward and reflected power, and SWR simultaneously. There
 are buttons to select either Peak or Average reading and
 power ranges of 200/2000 watts forward and 50/500 watts
 reflected. Frequency coverage is 1.8 to 60 MHz, so it
 covers
 6 meters in addition to the HF bands, making it ideal for
 some of the new rigs that include 6 meters.
 The peak reading function of this meter and meter light
 require external 12 V DC.

 This particular unit works fine, and looks very close to
 new.
 With paper work for $65.

 Realistic 21-549 A
 This speaker is about 4 inches square and about 2 inches
 deep. It is rated for 5 watts, has an 8 ohm impedance, and
 is listed as a 300 to 3000 Hz frequency response, making it
 ideal for communications. It has a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) mono
