QRP CW TRANSCEIVER KITS

Coming soon: QRP CW transceivers for 15, 17, and 80 meters

In addition to Ten-Tec's popular 1320, 1330, and 1340 QRP CW transceiver kits, this year we will be adding versions 1315, 1317, and 1380 for 15, 17, and 80 meters. These QRP transceiver kits will also be priced at $95.00 each and have specifications similar to the 1320-1340 of transceivers already available. Exact specs will be available closer to release date. The 1380 80 meter version should be available in May; 1315 and 1317 in the summer of 1999.

Enjoy the world of QRP CW operation with one of our 4 new transceiver kits. Designed for 40, 30 and 20 meters. Easy to build and simple to operate. Each unit covers a 50 Khz segment selected at time of construction. Kit includes all required components and professional enclosure painted and fully silkscreened. Receiver performance is superlative and QSK is just what you expect from the hams at Ten-Tec.
