Try common "lamp cord"... the two conductor parallel kind. depending upon gage of the conductors, you will find them very close to 75 Ohm. Obviously not a high power solution. 73, Gary - AB9M www.csm
Thanks, this hint was provided as a inexpensive solution. As such it is truly "cheap and dirty" and should be considered a short term solution to getting on the air. (If you saw sausage made, or read
I too have just found the DX-Lab suite to work with my new eMachine with Vista Home Basic, WinWarbler 5.7.7, Logbook Of The World, and eQSL. I haven't used it for very long but it appears to provide
Corsair II gets my vote for the best CW rig for chasing DX. 73 & DX, Gary - AB9M www.csm-gh.com _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.
I have both - My Corsair II with remote VFO for true Dual Receive AND an OMNI VI +! I have a DOW Key Relay with auxiliary three pole double throw contacts which are used to switch TX EN and TX OUT fr
Another "problem" is the general lack of repeater equipment to extend the range of 220 mobiles. At least in rural areas, generating interest in a new band / frequency is tied to the operation of a re
I agree with W3WN..... I've experienced the "boot strap problem" numerous times when trying to get a repeater (new frequency, CTCS, or new band) on the air, starting a new APRS digi-peater, or starti
There was a significant "thermal noise" as we attempted to provide phone patches on MARS. _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contes
Maybe I have a "foot in both Worlds"... I prefer to use my old Corsair II (and remote VFO) with an eMachine running Vista Home Basic, DXLab Suite and WinWarbler 5.8.1 for PSK-31. I operate the radio,
The use of "DC ground" antennas and ATUs (Antenna Tuning Units) usually took care of the static charge build up. There were significant thermal noise problems from the oil well fires that frequently
See http://www.telepostinc.com/LP-PAN.html -- it was referenced recently in the DXLab Suite Yahoo group. Available with different frequencies to accommodate major manufacturers IF standards including

Which Dentron AMP? I used to have a MLA-2500 and Omni - D configuration. NOT full QSK but you can make it work semi-break in using a relay box. 73 & DX, Gary - AB9M www.csm-gh.com ___________________
The TXEN TXOUT jacks are for a keying loop..... think "a series of contact closures to enable the transceiver to go into transmit". most likely either the QSK mod will work with the TT keying loop or
Download DXLab suite http://www.dxlabsuite.com/ .... its free and has excellent support. I'm using it with both my Omni VI+ and Corsair II. 73 & DX, Gary - AB9M http://www.csm-gh.com/AB9M.htm _______
The Heil headset with HC-4 will work..... may need a bit of processing and a bit more drive than some of the "hotter" mics but the HC-4 drives my Corsair II well. 73 & DX, Gary - AB9M http://www.csm-
Heads up for Ten-Tec Paragon owner / users: The Paragon's clock is based on an old Motorola clock chip with a daylight savings time change program. The clock will spring ahead and fall back.... unfor
I had the same problem and did not connect the first couple of times.... but I did keep set it to GMT and there's no DST change. I was working in TELECOM and all our equipment was (or we tried to) cl
Nope, the clock (chip) was designed to do what it does. Unfortunately the original design engineers never considered the DST change dates would change. Also (apparently) the Paragon designer didn't d
I know this may not much help, but I did have a similar problem with my Corsair II except it was limited to the display board. I was able to get all the small parts, I think they were Q1-Q6 (MPS-6514
