It seems to me that TenTec radios are sold by satisfied customers more than anything else. To that end TenTec has been using the Ambassador program. I don't know how well the Ambassador program has w
David, I think you've been lucky or have not had an accident with high VSWR. TenTec has always recommended AirPax magnetic breakers, see the design guide at <http://www.pocosales.com/ProductSpecifica
As I recall, it was easy to get RF in the SSB audio if a device like the PK232 was left plugged in. You may be able to avoid the problem with audio isolation transformers (or RIGblaster nomic) and cl
Look for DX in unlikely directions / bands over the next 24 hours..... 73 ES DX, Gary -- AB9M Not just your coax.... it's dead everywhere. I think a varmint may have cut my coax. I hear nothing on an
Then there is the old TELCO serviceman's trouble ticket note.... PROBLEM CAME CLEAR WHILE TESTING. 73 ES DX, Gary -- AB9M Hi Wade, I used to have a computer that would make me very angry with intermi
I'll second Bob's comments regarding pots going high (resistance) when not exercised. My Corsair-II which is used nearly every day for logging (and occasionally working) PSK-31 DX, requires its pots
I'd suggest a well cared for OMNI-D or CORSAIR...... either will work fine with PSK-31 when set to the base frequency, i.e. 14070.0 USB and driven with a clean, isolated, soundcard. 73 ES DX, Gary --
I used a friend's TT 580 Delta during a week at a camp in Canada in the Boundary Waters. We worked our schedules and DX with it and while the Delta lacked the bells and whistles of my Corsair II, it
This is probably a good time for me to chime in with a couple examples of Ten-Tec's great service ethic. 1. When I sold my ten year old (plus) OMNI-C (loaded with crystal filters) with matching remot
Id like to thank TenTec for the Ambassador Program check I received today. I also want to thank the individual who bought a new OMNI-VII and named me as their TenTec Ambassador. Your purchase of a ne
Paul, Thank you for buying an OMNI-VII and identifying me as your TenTec Ambassador. Yes, I received the Ambassador check from TenTec and though there is a transaction reference number, neither the p

The OMNI-VII disadvantage MAY have a lot to do with the RF gain setting of the OMNI-VII and the PAs and transmitted signals of TX A, B, C, .... Our local club has for years had many and often heated
Bob, You probably have the correct S-meter reading calculations..... I used to work with the commercial radio technicians and engineers (I was neither) who did all their signal level (power) calculat
Station ground and electrical ground must be bonded together according to the National Electrical Code. My experience of more than thirty years has been with eight foot copper clad ground rods driven
I can only write about what I've used for years for DXing (160-80-40 top loaded vertical over 24 sixty-six foot radials on the ground) or a TH-7 at fifty feet and for close in work (a NVIS all-band d
My readings are taken with from the Panadapter screen and S-meter (which also displays dBm) of the FLEX-1500 which is a sub-receiver of my OMNI-VII (using the N4PY mod). Since the N4PY mod takes the
