One other thing cosmetically it is almost a 9 out of 10. The radio looks
very good cosmetically.

Subject: Tentec 544 (Triton IV) For Sale
Hello all,
I have a Tentec 544 (Sometimes better known as a Triton IV) for sale. This
radio works GREAT in every respect "Except" one thing. The display is not
working properly. It was sold to me by a ham out of Ga as being 100% with
NO problems. You make your own conclusions. He even included a typed
letter how he hated to part with the rig, etc. I am the second owner as he
did buy it new. It is serial # 544-1541. I have the original manual, no
microphone and no box.
As you know this radio has very high ratings on eham reviews. It covers 10,
15,20, 40 & 80m. It is a full transistor radio and was a radio ahead of its
time if you do research on it. I did find it helpful to read the manul for
operation for a couple of things. It was considered one of Tentecs better
low end radios. From what I understand the display probably has problems
with a few transistors possibly. I am not a technician but if I knew the
bad parts and had them I could install them. I am HF poor at the moment
and do not need the radio any longer. I am ready to part with it even
though I did use it as it is for a few weeks. It has a great receiver! So
if there is a special person out there who needs this radio for old times
sake I am at your disposal. I am asking $175 shipped and insured to your
location in the continental US.
