Ten-Tec Model 259 ALC Annunciator Board for the Vision Impaired for Paragon and Paragon II, Corsair II, Omni V and related Omni series NEW in Box

 
Ten-Tec Model 259 Universal ALC Annunciator is a rare vintage accessory from the 1980s–early 1990s, designed as an add-on for select Ten-Tec transceivers to provide audible or visual annunciation/monitoring of ALC (Automatic Level Control) activity. It alerts the operator (likely via tone or indicator) when ALC is engaging, helping prevent overdrive, splatter, or distortion during transmission—especially useful when driving external amplifiers or operating at full power. It was marketed as "universal" for compatibility across certain models without built-in comprehensive ALC feedback.Key Details and Specifications
  • Function: Monitors ALC level and provides annunciation (audible beep/tone or LED indicator) to signal when the transmitter is being driven into ALC, aiding clean SSB/CW operation.
  • Compatibility: Specifically for Paragon Model 585 (and Paragon II 586), Corsair II Model 561, Omni V Model 562 (and related Omni series like 563/564). It interfaces via internal connections or rear panel jacks for ALC monitoring.
  • Design: Compact accessory (likely a small board or external unit with connections), possibly a kit or plug-in module.
  • Era: Mid-to-late 1980s through 1990s, part of Ten-Tec's accessory ecosystem for their high-end HF transceivers (Paragon, Omni V, Corsair II era).
  • Build: Typically assembled or semi-kit; connects to the rig's ALC line or metering circuit.
