Hi.

I owned a Ten Tec Delta for a couple of years.  If you could get a spare 
dial skirt for it, I think it wouldn't be too hard to make a tactile dial 
that would get you at least close to the frequency you want--as close as 
any of us got with some of the lower end Heathkit stuff!

I only found two issues with mine.  First of all, the recovery time on the 
AGC was too slow and you could nearly cripple that radio when pulse type 
noise was present.  The other problem I had was probably specific to my 
individual unit--the crystal for the 29 MHz band was almost 3 KHz off 
frequency.  I didn't use that segment of 10 meters much anyway, but it 
seemed kind of ridiculous to have a display that read out to 100 Hz, but 
the last two digits were insignificant!

On the positive side, the full break-in CW was smooth as glass on that radio.

Oh yes, I now remember the other thing that bugged me about that radio--the 
speaker was in the bottom and no convenient way to put an esxternal speaker 
on it.

While we are on the subject of Ten Tec radios, I think my favorite one of 
theirs was the Triton IV.  They were a workhorse, and if you put a D104 on 
them, they sound like a million bucks.
