Radio Shack 10 Meter rigs, HTX-10 vs. HTX-100
 

I have been thinking of installing a 10 meter rig in the truck. I had,
several years ago, an HTX-10 and it worked fine when the band was open.


My question would be if I want to operate 10 meter SSB (only) and not
FM is the HTX-10 superior to the older HTX-100???

The prices on eBay are reasonable for both units but the HTX-100 is
cheaper.

Thanks for your help

Chuck-

I have both. The HTX-10 is newer. As I recall, the HTX-100 doesn't have
any memories, if you happen to have some pet frequencies.

One fault with the HTX-10, is that it doesn't retain its memories when
disconnected from power for very long. I modified mine to add a Lithium
battery plus isolation diode, so the memories don't evaporate.

The HTX-100 is a variation of the Uniden HR-series Ten Meter radios.

The HTX-10 is a variation of the Albrecht AE-485S. I found some
information at
http://www.albrecht-electronic.de/se...urfunk/AE485S/.

I don't think anyone would be able to tell the difference between the two
radios on the air, other than the HTX-100 being calibrated off-frequency
by 100 Hz!
