I've operated numerous contests and completed WAS, WAC and DXCC with the 544. I did add a Autek QF-1A audio filter a few years ago and it complements the rig very well. The receiver is very sensitive, quiet and great for DX work. If you use a TT power supply such as the 262M, power will shut down (protecting the finals) to prevent transmitting into an excessive SWR. Band changes require only peaking receive signals with the Resonate switch and tuning the antenna. The rig has performed flawlessly for me since. They helped me troubleshoot the damage and sent me replacement circuit boards at no charge. Due to some UPS shipping damage, I had to contact the Ten Tec service department soon after the rig arrived. I installed the optional CW filter, NB and crystals for full 10M coverage. I still have a Ten Tec Triton IV/544 that my parents purchased for me back in 1978.
