Description
Ten-Tec Model RX-320 HF PC Transceiver New in Box with the Manual & Software New in Box
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 are final.
The Ten-Tec RX-320 is a discontinued, PC-controlled "black box" DSP (Digital Signal Processing) shortwave/HF communications receiver introduced in the late 1990s (around 1997–1998). It has no front-panel controls or display—everything is handled via a connected computer through a serial port (RS-232), making it one of the early "software-defined radio" (SDR)-like receivers for ham radio, shortwave listening (SWL), utility monitoring, and digital modes (e.g., RTTY, PSK31, ALE, HFDL).Key Features and Specifications
- Frequency Range — 100 kHz to 30 MHz (continuous coverage).
- Modes — AM, LSB, USB, CW (with 34 selectable DSP bandwidth filters from very narrow to wide).
- Selectivity — Excellent DSP filtering (e.g., -6 dB bandwidths selectable from 100 Hz up to 16 kHz).
- Sensitivity — Very good for its era/class, with low noise floor.
- Audio — High-quality DSP audio output to PC sound card.
- Connections — Antenna (SO-239 or BNC), 12V DC power, serial port for control, audio out to PC.
- Power — 11–13 VDC (included wall adapter).
- Size/Weight — Compact: ~6.25" W x 3" H x 6.5" D, ~2.5 lbs.
- Software — Ten-Tec provided basic control software (free); third-party options like Creative Express ERGO, Ham Radio Deluxe, or custom programs enhanced it significantly. It works with modern USB-to-serial adapters (though some users report driver tweaks for Windows 8/10/11).
