- Power Scales: Switchable full-scale ranges of 20W, 200W, and 2000W (ideal for QRP to high-power stations).
- Functions: Measures forward power, reflected power, and SWR simultaneously on a large illuminated cross-needle meter; supports both average and peak reading modes.
- Design: Passive bridge circuit, no external power required for basic operation (illumination uses 13–20 VDC); rugged metal enclosure, SO-239 connectors, internal calibration option.

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!
