Ten-Tec Model 1253 – 9-Band SW Receiver

The Ten-Tec Model 1253 Regen Shortwave Receiver Kit

The Ten-Tec Model 1253 9 band regenerative shortwave receiver kit. A classic “first radio kit”. Ten-Tec has combined the very same audio output circuit of Ten-Tec transceivers with a modern FET design for classic regenerative SWL receiving plus one-button electronic band switching. Performance is exceptional for a radio in this price class. The listener should note, though, that any regenerative receiver takes time and patience to learn to use.
