TenTec Omni 545 w/Digital Readout,
Power Supplies, Filters, Keyer, Remote
VFO, and Noise Blanker For Sale

.

TenTec Omni 545 with Digital Readout For Sale:

The 160 thru 10 meter HF transceiver is technically
an Omni 545 analog. However, a frequency counter
has been added, so that it now has a digital readout.
So it is basically similar to an Omni 546.

It produces 100 Watts and has a very good
receiver. An audio CW filter is built in, which
is extremely effective.

This is a "Series B" Omni.

Cosmetically it is very good, but not mint.
Everything works as it should.
Buy the rig with the counter and manual for
$300.

.

TenTec 255 Power Supply/Speaker For Sale:

The TenTec 255 power supply is designed
to provide 18 amps at 13.5 volts, which
means it will power most 100 watt HF rigs.
It also includes a built in speaker that
has great fidelity.

Also included is an electronic latching
circuit that will turn the power supply
off if more than 20 amps is pulled from it.

The output is provided via a four pin AMP
connector, as used on most of TenTec's HF
transceivers. There are also two RCA phono
sockets for low current use.

A front panel meter indicates current drawn.

This one works 100% as it should, and looks
great.

Buy it with paper work for $125.

.

Collins Mechanical Filter For Sale:
-
The following filter is a Collins Mechanical
Filter designed for a 455.0 MHz IF. This
means they have characteristics generally
considered better than crystal filters.
These are no longer being manufactured.
-
This filter fits a variety of rigs. I know
for sure they fit the TenTec Omni VII. I am
told that they also fit Yaesu FT8xx as well
as Yaesu FT-1000/1000MP, AOR 5000 or
AOR 7030.

Collins 526-8693-010
500 Hz CW filter
Also known as TenTec 2031, or Yaesu YF-122C
or YF-115C or AOR MF-500 or InRad 705C
$225

.

TenTec Model 2000, 1800 Hz Crystal Filter

The Model 2000 filter is used in the Orion II
(NOT the Orion I), and in the Eagle, and
possibly other rigs.

The 1800 Hz bandwidth give narrow SSB, or
wide CW.

This one works fine, and looks like new, as
if that matters for a filter inside the rig.

Buy it for $85.

.

This filter is used in TenTec rigs
in the 9 MHz IF. This includes the Orion I,
as well as Omni series A, B, and C; Omni V,
Omni VI, Argosy, Paragon, and maybe others.
Any that have a 9 MHz IF.

InRad 762 premium filter
600 Hz wide, CW, $110

.

TenTec 243 Remote VFO For Sale:

The TenTec 243 Remote VFO is an accessory to
the OMNI transceiving system which allows two
frequencies of operation. A mode switch with
LED indicators provides selection of any one
of six modes of operation: OMNI transmit and
receive; REMOTE transmit and receive; OMNI
transmit-REMOTE receive; REMOTE transmit-OMNI
receive; OMNI transmit-both receive; and REMOTE
transmit-both receive.

Full, instant break-in is retained no matter
what mode is selected.

In addition to the remote capability, a four
position crystal oscillator may be selected
as the remote generator for fixed frequency
operation, such as for MARS or net operation.

This is a very versatile unit!

This one works as it should and looks great.

Buy it with paper work for $100

.

TenTec Model 645 Keyer with Paddles For Sale:

The 645 keyer uses transistor switching and
is powered by the transceiver. Adjustable
magnetic paddle return, with a paddle force
5 to 50 gms. Speed 6 - 50 wpm. Variable
weighting. Dit/dah memories with defeat
switches. Torque drive paddles with 4 ball
bearing pivots.

It is powered through the the rigs 12 Volt
DC system. (220-350mA at 13.5 V DC)

Keyed Output: Low voltage positive transistor.
Speed Range: 6 to 50 WPM
Time Base: Keyed to start with paddle actuation
