TITAN II
Model 416

ONLY $2,990 

For more than 12 years, the Ten-Tec TITAN amplifier has enjoyed one of the best reputations of any full legal limit amp ever built. The legend continues with TITAN II, model 416. TITAN II comfortably delivers 1500 watts output in SSB, CW, and even digital modes. Ten-Tec's lightning fast QSK is built-in; no option to buy like some competitors. Covers all ham bands, 160 through 15 meters, 12 and 10 meters with authorized modification*. This cool running dependable design delivers the punch to be heard under any band conditions.

This awesome performance from a desk top amplifier is made possible by a single grid-driven Svetlana 4CX1600B ceramic tetrode. The TITAN II's heavy duty power supply features a 46 pound transformer, step-start inrush protection, separate transformer for screen supply, and screen grid current regulation. Our unique L-Pi-L tank circuit design assures cool, balanced Q operation and excellent harmonic suppression.

TITAN II includes full time metering of plate current, and switchable metering of plate voltage, screen grid current, forward and reverse power. Separate LED bargraph provides continuous peak reading power output monitoring.

Built-in protective circuitry keeps your TITAN II safe from operator error. The control grid is guarded by current limiting to keep you on the air to work that station even if the "tune up"  isn't perfect...and overdrive LED lets you know about it. Overcurrent trip protects the plate. No worries with Ten-Tec!

Priced at only $2990.00**, a TITAN II will bring you a lifetime of superior communication capability. TITAN II is backed by Ten-Tec's legendary service and a THREE YEAR parts and labor warranty (except for the 4CX1600B tube). Svetlana warrants the 4CX1600B separately. If a tube fails, replacement is free during the first 500 hours of use, cost is then prorated up to 5000 hours or 2 years, whichever is reached first.
