Back at the 12th annual Hamfest, TenTec announced several new products that
we would have in production, for sale, late 2011 and early 2012.
Today, I am pleased to announce that we have met our goals on the following:
Model RX366 High Performance ASR Sub-Receiver for the Orion Model 565 and
Orion II Model 566. This is a new contest grade second receiver for the 565
and 566 Orion series of transceivers. This new second receiver uses ASR
(Advanced Signal Reception) technology like what is already a proven winner
in the Eagle to provide a great enhancement to the rig. The RX366, requires
the new V3 Orion 565 and Orion II 566 firmware. With V3 installed and the
RX366 installed, the Orion(s) now have vastly superior performance to the
original sub-receiver in terms of immunity to interference from adjacent
strong signals and immunity to overloading from very strong signals present
on the band. Your Orion 565 and Orion II 566 have never worked so well
before.
Price = $639.00
(1 2.4kHz filter included)
Model 717 - Microphone Equalizer / Audio Interface. The 717 will allow you
to connect new dynamic microphones, such as the Regal Model 707 Desk
Microphone to older rigs that required a higher microphone input level such
as from an electric mic element.
The unit works with Icom, Yaesu, Kenwood as well as older Ten-Tec
transceivers using 4 or 8 pin circular microphone connectors. Now you can
use the rally cool Regal Model 707 Microphone with an older Ten-Tec rig
such as an OMNI-VII. You can tweak the actions of hi and low frequencies to
meet your needs.
Price = $119.00
Model 318 Amplifier Key Interface. The 318 will allow you to dial in a
delay when you connect older linear amplifiers to your transceiver. This
will be useful if the amplifier is not designed for full break-in. An
excellent seamless add-on for Eagle users who want to adjust the
transmitted output to work with older amplifiers. Adaptable to almost any
transceiver.
Price = $89.00
Note: V3 firmware for the 565 and 566 is in the process of getting bundled
up and placed on the internet. Estimate for V3 release and posting is by
5pm EST Tuesday.
Best Regards,
