Description

Ten-Tec Model 302 Remote Tuning Knob Encoder / Keypad for Later Ten-Tec Transceivers

 This one was purchased new and was not used.

 This is the darker colored version (Dark Gray) which will match most of the Late Ten-Tec Radios.

 It comes with the interface cable.

Ten-Tec never published a standalone manual for the 302 
All official information about the 302/302R is covered in the user manuals of the compatible radios, where it's described in a short section (usually 1–2 paragraphs plus setup notes). The key points are always the same:
  • Plug the included 8-pin DIN cable into the radio's REMOTE jack (or REM POD on some models).
  • The large knob provides smooth, high-resolution tuning (≈200 steps per rotation).
  • The numeric keypad allows direct frequency entry.
  • The three function keys (above the knob) are programmable via the radio's menu — what they control depends on the transceiver (e.g., band change, mode, filters, etc.).
  • No configuration is needed on the 302 itself — everything is handled by the radio.

The 302 allows conventional tuning knob feel for the PEGASUS Model 550 transceiver and/or armchair operation of the JUPITER Model 538. Direct frequency entry from keypad and control of 5 transceiver functions from three function buttons located above the tuning knob.

The 302 has beige coloring to match PEGASUS cosmetics. The 302J has dark grey coloring to match JUPITER transceiver cosmetics. The 302R has a black coloring to match OMNI-VII Model 588, ORION Model 565, ORION II Model 566, and RX-350D cosmetics.

The Ten-Tec Model 302 (often called the 302R in its later black version) is a discontinued wired remote tuning encoder/keypad accessory. It was designed for "armchair" or remote operation with several Ten-Tec transceivers and receivers.Key Features
  • Large, weighted, smooth tuning knob (high-resolution optical encoder, ~200 steps per rotation) — widely praised in ham communities for its silky, precise feel (often called one of the best remote tuning controls ever made, superior to many modern alternatives like FlexControl or TMate).
  • Full numeric keypad for direct frequency entry.
  • Three programmable function keys (above the knob) — configurable via the radio's menu for band up/down, mode change, filters, or other controls.
  • Plug-and-play — connects directly to the radio's REMOTE jack (no computer or software needed), with a ~6-foot cable (8-pin DIN male-to-male).
  • Compatibility — Jupiter (538), Pegasus (including Plus), RX-350 / RX-350D, OMNI-VII, ORION / ORION II (black 302R matches later models cosmetically; original 302 is ivory/gray for earlier ones).
