Ten-Tec Model R4030, 40 & 30 Meter Dual Band QRP CW Transceiver New in Box

This transceiver was purchased by a Ten-Tec collector and was never opened or built.

It is in the original box with the instruction manual.

There was a Ten-Tec Dipole antenna insulator kit with this transceiver which I will include.

Description:

The Ten-Tec R4030 was a popular low-power (QRP) CW (Morse code) transceiver kit, covering the 40 and 30-meter amateur radio bands, designed for rugged, portable use with a sturdy steel case and bright LCD display, offering features like RIT and solid-state break-in for field operations, though often confused with the similar R4020 (20/40m) model.
