The Ten Tec 2m kit is top quality, and uses the same cabinet face type as
the short wave receiver kit, (the superhet 1254,) and the other similar Ten
Tec offerings.
Manuals exceed the clarity of Heathkit, and have component guides in the end
covers.
The technical design meets FCC specs, which the original Ramsey 2m did not;
(I do not know if they ever corrected the output filter to improve the
purity). (A simple added L and C should have fixed the Ramsey).
But, I have never had the several problems of the Ramsey kits with my Ten
Tec kits.
Elecraft does a good job with the K2 manual, and is key to their success, To
me that is the most important part of a kit besides the design, is the
manual simple for any builder who knows the minimum skills of soldering
components and PCB construction?
