Restore SSB and CW reception to your AM shortwave radio with the Ten-Tec T-Kit Universal 455 kHz BFO Module Board (Model 1050/1051 series)! This unbuilt kit is a simple, effective varactor-tuned oscillator that injects the beat frequency needed for single-sideband and Morse code listening. Perfect for vintage portables, scanners, or homebrew receivers with a 455 kHz IF. On-board tuning control allows fine adjustment and compensation for alignment differences. Runs on 6–15 VDC — easy to integrate internally or in a small external case. A classic, budget-friendly T-Kit project loved by restorers and SWL enthusiasts. Complete with parts and instructions. Great addition to any radio workbench or collection.
Key Information and Specifications (for 1050 Universal BFO)
- Purpose: Varactor-tuned 455 kHz Beat Frequency Oscillator (BFO) module. Adds CW/SSB capability to AM-only shortwave receivers or scanners with a 455 kHz IF. Can be built into a radio or used externally in its own case near the receiver.
- Features: On-board tuning control for fine-tuning SSB/CW signals and compensating for IF alignment variations. Simple to build and integrate. Operates on 6–15 VDC. Compact module board design typical of T-Kits.
- Performance: Provides the heterodyne signal needed to demodulate single-sideband (SSB) and Morse code (CW) on receivers lacking a native BFO. Effective for casual listening and restoration projects.
