My First HF Radio

[KB1TPX]

Now I'm cookin'!

Still gotta fully study the owner's manual and learn to properly operate it.
Fortunately the friend who "GAVE" it to me has been a HAM for 40 years and is my source for info.

BTW, this radio is pristine!

It's a Mod.#544, late 70's and in perfect condition. I was shocked when he asked me if I wanted it, even shipped it to me. Arriving Fri. 02/19. I already bought a key and an original TenTec mic for it.

Is that the Triton IV? Looks like it.

Ten Tec Mod#544

A copy of the operations manual is still available on their web site:
under "Obsolete Manuals"....if you do not find it drop me an email, I'll send it to you.
Never operated that one but did the Qrp version....Great CW rig!...Enjoy
All the Best
