Description
Vintage Ten Tec Paragon 585. Rare these days.I powered the unit up with the matching 961 Power supply (sold separately). Punched in 70 on the key pad and tuned around 40 meters. Clean audio and lots of volume. Switched to LSB and listened in on some Qso's and nets. Used the HBU and HBD keys for coarse adjustments and the main tuning for fine adjustments. Pressed Tune and my wattmeter was showing near 100 watts ZS6BKW antenna. Using an old Kenwood Handmike I tested audio transmission on 7.225 good output. I listened in on my transmission on my old SX-101A. Clean audio. Moved through 20 meters and listened in on CW and USB signals. I moved through the bandwidth filters and all but .5 engaged. May not be present.
No further tests.
Perfect for restoration. Cabinet needs refinishing with scuffs and scratches. The plastic trim pieces move freely.
Sold as is for parts or restoration. I've a Yaesu box that should be big enough for shipping. Double box.
