Description

This Ten-Tec 555 Scout HF Transceiver 10-160 Meters with ALL 9 Band Modules & Factory Installed Noise Blanker in Like New Condition.

  This 555 Scout has very little time on the air. It belongs to a Ten-Tec Collector friend of mine who purchased it new and did not use it much if at all.

 He has asked me to sell his collection as he is anticipating a move in the near future.

 This Scout comes with the factory installed and aligned Noise blanker which I found to work extremely well on the electric fence noise from down the street.

 It has all the band modules available and I tested each one on the air.

The original manual and power cord is also included.

This radio can be converted quickly, to a 5 watt QRP radio if desired.

 Ten-Tec did not provide a microphone with this radio. Any Dynamic 4 pin microphone will work.

 Please check with me as I may have a microphone and matching 937 power supply  in stock for this rig.

I am selling it as is, as described.
