TenTec items for sale:

Ten-Tec Pegasus Model 550 HF transceiver

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.  In its original box for $625


TenTec 555 Scout transceiver
This is a 50 watt HF transceiver, primarily designed
for mobile use, but also nice inside the house.  It
has the TenTec variable bandwidth "Jones filter" in
it that is really effective.  CW keyer is built in.
This one has the 40 and 20 meter modules with it,
along with power cord and manual.  It works fine, and
looks like it just came out of the box.  I can not find a
scratch any where on it.  $320

TenTec 705 desk microphone
This electret desk mic has the 4 pin connector,
with PTT and "hold" buttons.  It works great, and
looks like new.  With paper work for $75

TenTec 252 MO power supply, 20 amp, 13 V DC supply.
Matches the Omni series of transceivers.  It has an
ammeter on front. It works 100% and looks very good.
No scratches or imperfections. With manual for $ 105

TenTec 280 power supply, 20 amps at 13 V DC.
This supply is one that is not as fancy as some (no speaker)
but is quite heavy duty electrically.  It has 2 pass transistors, 
instead of the one that some have.  It does have an ammeter
on it.  This one works fine, and looks very nice as well.  
With paper work for $125.

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.

Good Afternoon;
I m the proud owner of a pre owned (hard to say just how many pre owners ) Argonaut 515,  S/N  515-0847 that I got at a swap meet today. It looks to be in good shape but haven't fired it up as yet as I do not have an Operating Manual so am a bit concerned about the configuration.I suspect the jack on the far right labelled "+12 volt In " would be the power supply connector. Will someone confirn this or direct me a bit please.
Thanks very much
