Ten Tec RX340 RX-340 HF DSP Receiver EXCELLENT shape!

Ten Tec RX340 HF DSP Receiver in EXCELLENT shape in the Original box with the Original Technical manual (which has EVERYTHING in it that you need to know about using this super receiver) and power cord. Just tested and passed all 3 “BITE” tests, SPECTACULAR receiver, easy to use and superb reception! New meter light just installed and controls cleaned with DeOxit as well. Face and cabinet are in Excellent shape! The Ten-Tec RX340 is a multi-mode, general coverage synthesized receiver utilizing extensive Digital Signal Processing. DSP brings the performance and repeatability of expensive military grade communications receivers into the price range of top end commercial receivers for shortwave listeners. Tunable from 5 kHz to 30 MHz, it provides tuning steps and display resolution of 1 Hz. All three displays are blue/green vacuum fluorescent and provide unparalleled contrast and readability. The RX340 is a laboratory-quality instrument in its ability to quantify the amplitude and frequency characteristics of signals and receivers. The performance level of receivers in this class is possible only through extensive use of Digital Signal Processing. These designs utilize fewer analog circuits than traditional receivers. Powerful, specialized DSP microprocessors replace many of the discrete circuits with intensive software containing over 60,000 lines of code. High dynamic range analog stages provide 1st , 2nd and 3rd I.F.s (and 80 dB of AGC) where signals then pass through analog to digital converters. Everything else is accomplished in DSP including all mode detection, I.F. filters, AGC (remaining 40 dB), adjustable BFO, passband tuning and noise blanker. An astounding 57 I.F. bandwidths from 100 Hz to 16 kHz are included. All filters have shape factor of 1.5:1 or better (6 to 60 dB). USB, LSB, ISB, CW, AM, Synchronous AM and FM are built-in. Four AGC modes are provided. Conventional Fast, Medium and Slow modes are familiar but the “Programmable” mode is groundbreaking. User may build their own personal AGC characteristic by selecting attack, hang and decay rates. Manual control from front panel is also adjustable over 120 dB range. A tunable notch filter rejects unwanted signals in the passband. Receiver front end incorporates built-in preselector with eight octave bandpass filters. Switchable 10 dB preamp and 15 dB attenuator are also provided. Signal strength meter is calibrated in both s-units and dBm. Ten-Tec has been supplier of commercial/government grade receivers for some years now. RX340 uses field proven circuits brought together in a new cabinet with a comprehensive front panel. This provides conventional operation from the panel while retaining all of the remote control aspects of its predecessor. A built-in multi-drop RS-232 interface permits remote operation at baud rates from 75 to 38,400. Accessed from rear panel DB-25 connector, the interface can be configured for single or multiple receiver applications. The complete command language is published in the manual so enterprising users can write their own remote control software. RX340 also includes Built-in Test or “BITE”. This self-test capability will identify virtually all faults to the board level. Memory and scan features fall into four categories: a scratchpad memory, 100 memory channels, memory scan and F1 to F2 scan. Each memory channel retains the frequency along with mode, I.F. bandwidth and BFO setting. Dwell time is programmable, Channel lockouts are provided and a pause feature lets you interrupt scan momentarily. Squelch works in all modes and adjusts over a 150 dB range. RX340 has built-in TCVCXO to provide +/- 1 ppm frequency stability across the entire operating range of 0 to 50 degrees C. Audio is delivered to built-in speaker on the top panel, external speaker jack on rear and front panel headphone jack. Separate volume controls provided for speaker and headphone. Fixed level 600 ohm audio is also provided on rear panel. Front panel is a Lexan graphics overlay designed to last a lifetime. Chassis is aluminum with alodine plating on all parts to protect finish in less than ideal environments. Sells new for $4250.00! Measuring 5.25“x19“x12.5”(HWD), RX340 can be mounted in a standard 19” opening rack and weighs 12.5 lbs. Just tested and used and working Beautifully, pulling stations from all around the world in ALL modes, but due to type of equipment and shipping, sold “as is”. Buyer pays shipping for a well packed and insured double boxed shipment. I will ship ANYWHERE in the world. Buy from me with confidence as I have excellent feedback. Please note: Florida residents must pay sales tax.
