Ten-Tec 1254 Receiver by YS1RS Now Upgraded.wmv

[NG9D]

Nice demo Rob! Very useful improvement to that kit. I liked the looks of the Ten Tec kit, but haven't gotten one -- mainly due to the coarse tuning which I know would drive me nuts trying to tune CW or SSB. How much did the upgrade kit cost?

@NG9D The tuning with the upgrade improves a lot and is good enough for SSB phone and digital use. The tuning steps are: 100000 Hz, 10000 Hz, 9000 Hz, 5000 Hz, 2500 Hz, 1250 Hz, 1000 Hz, 100 Hz, 10 Hz.

Then you still have the "clarifier" option to "twickle" even further more.

For CW, is not good. it lacks the filtering required to isolate the desired signal down as a big pro rig would do.

Price for the basic upg is around $40 and for the USB option is around $90

There is also a RS-232 option.
