The Ten-Tec Model 1210 is a classic 10-meter to 2-meter transverter kit from the popular T-Kit series—designed to add full 144–148 MHz (2-meter) operation using any 10-meter transceiver (28–29.7 MHz IF typical).Key Features & Specs
  • Conversion: Transmits/receives on 2m by tuning your 10m rig (e.g., 28.000 MHz = 144.000 MHz; 29.000 MHz = 145.000 MHz).
  • Power Output: 10 watts typical RF out on 2m (from 4–20 watts drive on 10m; ALC-controlled input for clean performance).
  • Modes: Supports all modes your 10m transceiver provides (SSB, CW, FM).
  • Design: Solid-state T/R switching, optimized for clean conversion, compact enclosure (1.5"H x 5"W x 8"D), separate 10m/2m antenna ports; high-quality components on a single PCB.
  • Power: 12–15 VDC at ~3–4 amps.
  • Build: Straightforward assembly with detailed manual; alignment straightforward for experienced builders.
Praised in reviews (e.g., eHam.net) for reliability, clean signals, and versatility—ideal for reviving idle 10m rigs (like mobile units) or adding 2m to HF setups without buying a dedicated VHF radio. Great for FM repeaters, SSB, or local comms!
Ten-Tec T-Kits are high-quality amateur radio kits produced by Ten-Tec, an iconic American company founded in 1968 (originally as Tennessee Technology) in Sevierville, Tennessee. Known for manufacturing reliable HF transceivers, receivers, and accessories, Ten-Tec became legendary in the ham radio community for its innovative designs and excellent performance.The T-Kit line (introduced in the 1990s and continued into the 2000s) offered affordable, beginner-friendly projects for hams and experimenters. These kits focused on QRP (low-power) equipment, including single-band CW transceivers (like the popular 1300 series for 20m, 30m, 40m, etc., with models such as 1315, 1320, 1330, 1340), regenerative shortwave receivers (e.g., 1253, 1254), direct-conversion receivers, antenna tuners, transverters, wattmeters, and modular boards for custom builds.They were praised for being easy to assemble, well-engineered with high-quality components, and delivering solid performance once built—often outperforming commercial gear in their price range. Many hams built their first radios with T-Kits, and they remain sought-after by collectors and builders today.Your unbuilt T-Kits are rare collectibles, offering a fun project or a piece of ham radio history!
