Yes, generally you fuse the positive wire otherwise the radio or antenna being grounded provides an alternate path to ground and for current to continue flowing. Specially if you use it in a car. Cec
Oh No! is right, I wouldn't keep a Ten-Tec Orion if it were given to me for free if it has a red dot. Go ahead and test it, send me an Orion with a red dot, and we will see if I keep it. Cecil KD5NWA
I have a simple question, on a Corsair when you switch in different filters, does the gain of the amplifier following the filter, change to make up for the different filter loss? For example, the 1.8
Then I have one more problem in my Corsair, besides the display blacking out and the phase lock loop going wild when it feels like it. I noticed that when the radio decides to work, and you are tuned
First thing I tried, the display doesn't act up hardly at all anymore, but the phase lock loop goes bunkers after it been running for more that an hour. Cecil KD5NWA
The software that initializes the radio, and talk to the RS232 port, and update you firmware has been replaced by invalid code, tantamount to software suicide. They will need to replace the firmware
Here is the specs of some breakers I bought for my Corsair, you might need to change the current specs, these are really fast magnetic breakers similar to the ones that Ten Tec puts in their power su
I have noticed a trend that disturbs me quite a bit, a lot of hams refer to amateur radio as just another hobby. The area of public service and experimentation is not stressed enough to new hams, If
Congratulations! You just invented a buzzer. 8-) Cecil KD5NWA Take a dpdt relay and wire it so that when it pulls in, it breaks the circuit to the coil....when it relaxes, it makes the circuit and so
You guys are totally off base on this, the brand of microphone does not affect the SWR of the antenna system. Everyone that knows radio stuff knows the best way to have low SWR is to tape a hush pupp
Slightly better performance than the NorCal 30..grin. 100 db image rejection, wow! It must have one heck of a balanced mixer, I haven't been paying attention to commercial gear at all, but nice to se
I have a simple question for the group, I have a Corsair I and I was wondering if is possible to change the 9 MHz front end filter (a 220 filter) for a 217 500Hz filter for use with CW only. Has anyo
I have the same situation, throw in the 250 Hz filter and the signal goes down 3 S units Cecil KD5NWA Hello, I have a Omni 6 and it has a 6 Mhz 250 Hz filter that has 10-12 dB loss compared to the 6
My wonderful Corsair has gone amuck, the frequency display is changing all over the place and is totally on the wrong band. I guess it's time to pack it and send it to Ten-Tec, it could have happened
It's back, I unplugged all connectors and reseated them, and the Corsair is it's old self again. After I move I'll get a bottle of contact cleaner and go over the connections again. Thanks to everyon
You need an Airpax Snapak Magnetic breaker.... the original supplier to Ten-Tec. I have found the best price at Poco Sales in California. Seems like they were about $9 +/- last time I bought some. Th
