Hi Gang,
Lots of TT owners and with helpful input...THANK YOU ALL!
With some 30 replys and input from TenTec(Scott,W4PA)...I'm getting
real close to having a complete reference list. Remember my objective
was to sort out which model was what... so I would have a better
understanding of what folks are talking about when I see on the swaplist
"FS:TenTec 585". I want acquire a really gooood receiver. I believe
the Ten Tec line is the best for adjacent signal rejection and CW!
And I'm learning alot about which model has which feature.
Below is the latest list. Still it's not perfect but getting there!
Scott Robbins, W4PA (TenTec Sales) says he'll lend me some brochures
and info I can scan. So, I'll keep you all informed as this list gets
more data behind it. My wish is to have a photo of each model and
brief description of features for a webpage. Please send me any
corrections/errors or additions you feel would help improve the list.
There are to many accessories to list for right now, sorry...
Thanks again for all your help......Steve ;-) I'm learning alot!

different filtering options that the original "D" - we make no
distinction for used gear nowadays and would have to dig to tell you
exactly what the difference between series "B" and the original A and D
were.-TT
