Did anyone ever hear of the Ten Tec MR-1 ? QRP rig
« on: December 31, 2020, 06:07:56 PM »

Did anyone ever hear of the Ten Tec MR-1 ?  Or own one? While I did find 3 references to it here on eham, Rigpix has nothing on it. I can't even find a picture of a Ten Tec MR-1 on the 'net.

Supposedly it was a kit version of the kit version of the PM-1? Was it?  How much cheaper was it than the PM-1 ? Was the case marked MR-1? or PM-1 ?

I found this:

http://tentecwiki.eqth.net/w8kc/mr1.htm

From this site:

http://tentecwiki.eqth.net/w8kc/tentec.html

Apparently an old site; according to QRZ, the call W8KC now belongs to another ham.

Thanks

"Ohmigosh!  It's a brand new-in-the-box, never assembled, Ten*Tec MR-1 kit from 1969!

Here ya' go folks, Ten*Tec's very first ham radio product!   You can even see the little plastic bag with the screws and string for the dial, tucked in there on the right"

I remember the adds for the PM1 and I wanted one badly but never had the coin.
