TenTec items for sale:

TenTec 585 Paragon HF transceiver
This rig covers 160 thru 10 meters, including the WARC
bands.  It has a general coverage receiver, and includes
SSB, CW, and AM.  An optional FM adapter is available
for it.  Of course it has digital readout, memories, scan,
dual VFOs, PBT, notch filter, etc.  Up to 100 Watts output, 
that can be adjusted down to mw. This particular unit works 
100% and looks fine also.  Big inch thick manual is included.  
TenTec sells these used for $795.  This one is $650.

TenTec 299 Voice synthesized frequency read out
This unit is used with the TenTec Omni 546 series A, B, C,
some Argonauts, Corsair, and others.  It will work with 
other rigs (such as the Triton), with minor mods to get 
the right connections.
The 299 is used primarily for blind hams who can not read the
frequency readout on the transceiver.  By pushing a button, it
will "speak" the frequency (to tenth of a KHz).  A front panel
switch permits selection of the entire frequency, or you can
eliminate the MHz, and give only the KHz.  There is also a
volume control on the front panel.
Of course it can also be used to give a "voice digital readout"
to a rig with an analog dial.
This particular unit is in great shape electrically.  Cosmetically
it has some very minor wear.  $ 190 

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
