The analog dial version of the Triton IV was also known as the Model 540. During production, the Triton IV name was dropped in favor of the model number on the front panel. The solid-state transceiver had an output power of 100 watts. The broad-banded transmitter required no tuning. The receiver was peaked to frequency with its resonate control. The 540 covered 80-10 meters, with the 10 meter band divided into four 500 kHz segments.
