U20561 Used Realistic HTX-100 10 Meter Amateur Transceiver SSB/CW (Microphone Does Not Work)

U20561 Used Realistic HTX-100 10 Meter Amateur Transceiver SSB/CW (Microphone Does Not Work)

This pre-owned Realistic HTX-100 10-meter mobile transceiver is in overall good, working condition, displaying visible sun fading/mottling across the front composite bezel as well as general handling nicks and edge wear along the metal cabinet. The backlit LCD is sharp, dark, and clear, and all front control knobs, concentric potentiometers, push buttons, and the main VFO tuning dial actuate properly. Please note: While the transceiver itself functions normally, the included handheld microphone is non-functional and will require repair or replacement. The rear heatsink fins, SO-239 RF antenna connector, 3-pin DC input socket, CW key jack, and external speaker output are clean and physically intact. It comes complete with the non-working matching dynamic microphone, a fused DC power cable harness, and the original Realistic factory packaging box.

The Realistic HTX-100 (Radio Shack Cat. No. 19-1101) is a celebrated, dedicated 10-meter mobile and base amateur transceiver designed specifically for 28 MHz operations. Built to operate in Upper Sideband (USB) and CW across 28.0000 to 29.6999 MHz, it delivers 25 Watts of RF output on High power and 5 Watts on Low power (selectable via the push-pull RF Gain control). The radio features a microprocessor-controlled digital PLL synthesizer, 10 programmable memory channels, selectable frequency stepping rates, Receiver Incremental Tuning (RIT) for fine-tuning incoming signals, an effective noise blanker circuit, and dedicated rear connectivity for CW keys and packet radio TNCs. Straightforward, compact, and dependable, the HTX-100 remains an all-time classic choice for Technician-class operators looking to work 10-meter voice and CW openings.

Condition

• Cosmetic Condition: Good pre-owned condition overall. Displays sun fading and color mottling on the front bezel plastic, along with scattered minor paint nicks and edge marks on the metal outer shell.

• Operational Notes: The transceiver powers on and functions properly with an active display and working dials/switches; however, the included hand microphone does not work and will need servicing or replacement.

• Display & Front Controls: Backlit LCD screen is clear with full segment visibility. All front-panel push buttons click firmly, and rotary pots (Volume, Squelch, RIT, RF Gain) and the main tuning encoder rotate smoothly.

• Rear Hardware & Ports: The SO-239 antenna connector, 3-pin DC power plug, CW key jack, and external speaker jack are clean and tight.

• Packaging & Accessories: Includes the matching hand microphone (non-working), fused 12V DC power lead, and original vintage retail box.

Key Features

• Dedicated 10-Meter Amateur Coverage: Covers 28.0000 to 29.6999 MHz in USB and CW modes.

• Selectable 25W / 5W Output: Switchable between 25 Watts High Power and 5 Watts Low Power via the push-pull RF Gain pot.

• Digital PLL Synthesizer: Microprocessor frequency synthesis provides drift-free stability with 10 memory channels and selectable tuning increments.

• Receiver Incremental Tuning (RIT): Allows independent ±1 kHz receive fine-tuning to center incoming stations without moving transmit frequency.

• Noise Blanker (NB): Built-in impulse noise blanker helps suppress ignition noise and electrical interference.

• Packet Radio Compatible: Straightforward rear-panel interfacing supports external TNCs for 10M digital packet communications.

• Novice / Technician Privileges: Tailored to maximize access to the 10-meter phone sub-band (28.300–28.500 MHz) and CW allocation.
