TenTec 560 Corsair, 550 Pegasus, Scout Band Modules
and more For Sale:
.
.
TenTec Corsair 560 HF transceiver

Covers all HF bands 160 thru 10 meters, including the WARC
bands.  NO general coverage receiver, as the receiver is
optimized for the ham bands. Although it has superb SSB,
and also has the absolute best QSK CW available.  Many say
it has the best receiver made -- certainly in the top analog
receivers.

This one works as it should with full power output and excellent
receive.  Cosmetically, it looks extremely nice.  I do not find
any scratches.

It has a plastic spiral bound manual that includes the regular
TenTec manual, plus a considerable amount of extra info from
the internet.

Buy this gem for only $350.

TenTec 263 remote VFO

The 263 is used with the TenTec Corsair (or Corsair II).  In
addition to the normal split operation, it also permits one
to receive on two frequencies simultaneously, and vary the
relative signal of the two frequencies.

This one works fine and looks great.  Again, no scratches.

With paper work for $175.

.
TenTec 288, 1800 Hz crystal filter

The 288 is used in the Corsair, as well as other TenTec rigs
such as the Paragon.  It is 1800 Hz wide, making it great for
narrow SSB, but it is also terrific for wide CW, and is ideal
for digital modes.

Of course it works fine. With paper work for $75.

Buy all three of the above for $575.

Ten-Tec Pegasus Model 550 HF transceiver

It covers 160 thru 10 meters, although it can be used
with a transverter for 6 and 2 meters, and will display
the 6 or 2 meter frequency on the screen.

It will transceive SSB, CW, FM, or AFSK, and receive AM.
Of course it is also ideal for digital modes such as PSK31,
pactor, etc.  It has 2 VFOs and 1000s of memories, and full
break-in on CW.

This rig is very close to a "software definable" rig, in that
most of the rig is controlled from the computer and computer
program. There are no knobs on the rig.
Everything is on the computer screen.  It makes for
a rig that can be changed by changing the software.
DSP filtering is provided, that is quite effective, so
no crystal filters are needed.  Bandwidths go from
300 Hz to 8 KHz, with 1.5 to 1 shape factors, or better.

This particular unit is in excellent condition, with latest
firmware. It looks and performs almost like new.  No scratches,
dents, or dings.  TenTec operating control software is included
in both 16 bit and 32 bit operating systems, so you can use an
older version of Windows or the latest version.  Of course it
has the power cord and complete manual with it.  It needs 13 V
DC at about 20 amps to operate.  Only $550.

Astron RS-20 A, 20 amp Power Supply:

The Astron RS-20 A is a very common power supply around
most ham shacks. It provides 13 V DC for many ham rigs.

Features:
Solid State Electronically Regulated
Fold-Back Current Limiting Protects Power Supply from
...excessive current & continuous shorted output
Crowbar Over Voltage Protection
Excellent Regulation & Low Ripple at low line input voltage.
Heavy Duty Heat Sink
Chassis Mount Fuse
Three Conductor Power Cord

Specifications:
Input Voltage 105-125Vac
Output Voltage 13.8Vdc (internally Adjustable 11-15V)
Ripple Less than 5mV peak-peak (full load & low line)
Continuous Duty 16 Amps; ICS 20 Amps
Size 5" x 9" x 10-1/2"

This particular supply works great. It only varies 0.01 Volts
with a load! Cosmetically it looks great.

With paper work for only $65.
.
.
TenTec 555 "Scout" Band Modules:

The Scout is a relatively small 50 Watt output SSB and
CW HF Transceiver. It is simple and easy to operate.
Individual "Band Modules" are used to change bands,
and to allow the operator to choose only those bands he
is interested in.

The actual Scout rig has been sold, but some extra band
modules are available for the 80/75, 40, 20, and 15 meter
bands. Each module is $50.  Buy all four for $180.
.
.
I also have many other accessories available such as many
different types of microphones, HTs, VHF and UHF rigs,
antennas, etc. Just too many things to list here.
Please e-mail your requests.


Prices do not include shipping from Florida.


Thanks.
