[TenTec] T-Kit 1054/1253 opinions?

[Al Gulseth <wb5jnc@centurytel.net>]

Greetings all,

I'm toying with the idea of picking up a solid-state regen for casual 
listening, preferably with speaker capability, covering perhaps up to about 
20 MHz. I'd also like it to be something I could copy CW with -- at least for 
strong sigs on an uncrowded band. I'm not expecting "competition-grade" 
performance! As noted, the 1054/1253 are possibilities I'm considering. If 
anyone has experience with either or has had a chance to do an A/B comparison 
between the two, or has had experience with or done an A/B with any of the 
other competing products (MFJ-8100, QRP Kits Scout Regen, etc.), I'd like to 
hear your comments.

TNX/73, Al
