TEN-TEC HAS INTRODUCED MANY HAMS TO QRP WITH THEIR NEAT, COMPACT TRANSCEIVERS. THIS IS THE TEN-TEC PM3A.
IT COVERS TWO BANDS -- 40 AND 20. THIS ONE RECEIVES PRETTY WELL -- HEARD CW AND SSB SIGNALS ON BOTH BANDS.
FROM A TRANSMIT STANDPOINT, IT GETS A LITTLE OUTPUT ON 40 METERS, BUT NOTHING ON 20. SO IT NEEDS SOME ATTENTION TO THE TRANSMIT SECTION OF THE UNIT. IT SHOULD GET 2-4 WATTS OUT WHEN OPERATING PROPERLY.
THE CABINET IS STRAIGHT AND NOT TRANSGENDER. I FOUND NO MYSTERY WIRES, HOLES, PARTS. BUD LIGHT BEER CANS OR MISSING PRESIDENTIAL PAPERS. ALL IN ALL IT LOOKS PRETTY ORIGINAL.
YOU'LL NEED A 12 - 13 VOLT POWER SUPPLY TO RUN IT AND ALSO A SET OF HEARPHONES AND OBVIOUSLY A KEY. BUT THEN YOU'LL HAVE A LOT OF FUN CHASING STATIONS ON CW -- ONCE YOU GET THE TRANSMIT PORTION WORKING.
SINCE THIS RIG NEEDS SOME ATTENTION, IT IS BEING SOLD FOR REPAIR/PARTS AND WITH NO RETURNS.
NO RESERVE. WILL BE SHIPPED VIA USPS. WILL BE WELL PADDED.
THIS TRANSCEIVER WAS NOT EXPOSED TO TOXIC DRINKING WATER AT CAMP LEJUENE OR ROUNDUP HERBICIDE. FOR AN ADDITIONAL NOMINAL CHARGE I WILL MARK THE BOX WITH BOLD LETTERING "AUTOMOTIVE PARTS" TO HELP AVOID ANY ISSUES WITH THE XYL. ASK FOR DETAILS.
QUESTIONS? JUST ASK.
