A classic \u201cfirst radio kit\u201d. 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Frequencies:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Band 1 = 1.760 to 1.990 MHz<\/li>\n<li>Band 2 = 3.3 to 4.150 MHz<\/li>\n<li>Band 3 = 5.5 to 6.9 MHz<\/li>\n<li>Band 4 = 6.8 to 8.5 MHz<\/li>\n<li>Band 5 = 8.5 to 11 MHz<\/li>\n<li>Band 6 = 10.1 to 13.2 MHz<\/li>\n<li>Band 7 = 12.5 to 16 MHz<\/li>\n<li>Band 8 = 14.7 to 18.5 MHz<\/li>\n<li>Band 9 = 18.5 to 21.5 MHz<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tentec.com\/index.php?id=51\">Manufacturer&#8217;s Product Page &#8211; Ten-Tec Model 1253<\/a><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\ndocument.write('<scr'+'ipt src=\"http:\/\/rover.ebay.com\/ar\/1\/55242\/1?lt=9&#038;adtype=3&#038;pubid=5574879351&#038;toolid=10001&#038;campid=5336779119&#038;customid=&#038;uq=Ten+Tec+1253&#038;sellerId=&#038;ex_kw=&#038;sortBy=12&#038;catId=&#038;minPrice=&#038;maxPrice=&#038;laction=_blank&#038;ltext=Click+here+to+search+eBay+for+a+Ten-Tec+Model+1253&#038;n3y=1&#038;v1e=1&#038;u7v=1&#038;a3h=1&#038;def=a3h&#038;ig=1&#038;mpt='+Math.floor(Math.random()*999999999)+'\"><\/scr'+'ipt>');\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><noscript><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/rover.ebay.com\/rover\/1\/711-53200-19255-0\/1?icep_ff3=9&#038;pub=5574879351&#038;toolid=10001&#038;campid=5336779119&#038;customid=&#038;icep_uq=Ten+Tec+1253&#038;icep_sellerId=&#038;icep_ex_kw=&#038;icep_sortBy=12&#038;icep_catId=&#038;icep_minPrice=&#038;icep_maxPrice=&#038;ipn=psmain&#038;icep_vectorid=229466&#038;kwid=902099&#038;mtid=824&#038;kw=lg\">Click here to search eBay for a Ten-Tec Model 1253<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"text-decoration:none;border:0;padding:0;margin:0;\" src=\"http:\/\/rover.ebay.com\/roverimp\/1\/711-53200-19255-0\/1?ff3=9&#038;pub=5574879351&#038;toolid=10001&#038;campid=5336779119&#038;customid=&#038;uq=Ten+Tec+1253&#038;mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]\"><\/noscript> <em>please note if seller is selling built unit<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ten-Tec Model 1253 9 band regenerative shortwave receiver kit.
