I would love to see that article. Do you recall how he matched it to the rig? It seems, without deeply thinking about it... that similar considerations as we have discussed on the OCF dipole and vert
Great story. If one of my PDF readers, or if Adobe Acrobat itself, cannot produce text, then if the article has acceptable print clarity, then one or more of my scanner/ OCR programs can convert the
I sent you a manual for Omni A-D Ser B . Hope it works for ya. == James 0K8JHR == Better yet, anyone have a pdf of the Omni D Ser B? _______________________________________________ \ ,
Good story, Phil. My neighbor and his son (each have Technician Class Licenses) came over to my house to blame ME for their cable TV problems... apparently they read on the AT&T web site that ham rad
Yes ! Sidebar -- My friends worked the CQ WW 160m DX contest on an Orion II with a dopey old sub-receiver, working it in stereo with the main receiver, and no one complained about it. One receiver wa
I use a small capacitor on the audio in (mic hot) line that is supposed to avoid DC on the audio input. I do this for other reasons, other than RF in the shack, but it seems to do the job In any case
I must admit to not understanding what MFJ means by input power versus output power. I figure output power is what comes out of the amp on the way to the antenna, with the tuner in between... OK... b
There is a tuner built by Plastar which can do this. This is the AT-AUTO. I have one. But you cannot locate it at the base of the big stick outside. It uses a real variable capacitor and variable in
It is, unfortunately, still vaporware... but in production so it will materialize...."soon"... and I believe TenTec usually plays its cards rather close to the vest until a product is ready to ship.
Sorry. I use a cup that has both the TT logo and my call sign on it. See it here: http://jimsengraving.com/main/page_ham_radio_study_guides.html Not the answer you looked for, but I thought you might
Er... Mobile rig? Not an alignment is in order, but how does it work if you take it out of "drive" and run through the gears manually. ;-) (Sometimes I cannot help myself... if I cannot have fun, I d
A... yes... Mr. John, w4bqda, we are ALL Jonesing for new TT stuff !!! ;-) Maybe Santa will grace your shack with something nice from the TT catalog. (No smiley face here, because I MEAN it !) == Jam
Hi Phil... I really appreciated your help and correspondence awhile back when I was a new ham building a vertical antenna system. I know this is off topic, but I want to thank you publicly so other g
So ... you must be going to buy a TT Orion II ? I suppose that is the only "higher tier" radio worth having .... ;-) [He said, rolling his eyes with a wicked, sinister grin.] ;-) -- K8JHR -- On 12/5/
I use a Rig Expert AA-230 with good results and high user satisfaction. The great value of the thing Ten Tec sells, is it has a nice graphical display of the whole band, and this is really useful for
Golly, I had no idea there was any issue at all hooking my Omni VII to an Alpha amp, other than to set some sort of reasonable T/R delay. WE used the PTT cable/jack on the rig to the amp, and no ALC
Works fine. Use a 10 dB attenuator like this to keep the mic from being too hot into the circuit. Your AGC will work better if your mic setting is set at about 35-55 - but without the attenuator, it
I have occasionally blown my Centurion out with a smallish bellows blower borrowed form my camping gear. Light wind, no high pressure, and no more. NOT a can of compressed air, and NOT my shop air co
Cool. Your discussing about the Omni VI and non-TT amplifiers got me to wondering about my Omni VII and the same. Thanks for the courtesy of a reply. == K8JHR == _____________________________________
