Description
Ten-Tec Model 1220, 2m FM Transceiver & 1222 Add On Amplifier Kit Unbuilt Kits
The Kit is complete and I opened the original box to photograph and check the contents.
The original price was $265.00 from Ten-Tec for both kits.
Please see the pictures for specifications and information from the Construction book which is included.
I am selling this item for a friend who collected Ten-Tec gear for many years,
it is sold as is, as described and all sales of unbuilt kits are final.

The Ten-Tec Model 1222 is a 35-watt RF power amplifier kit from the popular T-Kit series, designed specifically as an optional upgrade for the Ten-Tec 1220 2-meter FM transceiver kit.Key Features & Specs
- Power Output: Boosts the 1220's low-power output (typically 1–5 watts) to up to 35 watts on 2 meters (144–148 MHz).
- Gain: Approximately 5 watts in for 35 watts out (Class C amplifier for efficient FM operation).
- Purpose: Provides a significant power increase for better range and mobile/base station performance on VHF.
- Design: High-quality components, straightforward assembly, and integrates directly into the 1220 chassis with a large heatsink for cooling.
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!
