Here is an email I sent privately to a fellow today. It speaks for itself and I stand by it. ___________________________________ Take a different rig. My Omni-C puts out spurs. Even with the KEY UP,
Sorry that the below message is ambiguous. It is on 17 meters that my Omni-C puts out a couple of watts of garbage KEY UP. I have never had any trouble with that rig on any other band. When the Omni-
About the strength of the spurs: my Omni-C on 17 meters put out 100 watts key down and 2 or 3 with the key up. Assume best case, the difference between 100 watts and 2 watts of spurs is 17 dB. So the
The 280 does have the crowbar circuitry. It also has current limiting. It is about the same circuitry as the model 255 speaker/power supply that matches the old Omni rigs. In color, it does match the
On page 2-6 of my 544 manual under "General Operating Notes" it tells how to receive WWV on 15 MHz. 1. Set Band Switch to 21.0 MHz. 2. Rotate main tuning dial so that the frequency readout is 21.000
Before I did a lot of trouble shooting on that Century 21, I'd make sure it was connected to a proper aerial and see if the birdies are still audible. Testing for birdies with no antenna connected gi
I don't believe you have sufficient grid current. The grids of 3-500z tubes when the tube is cathode driven normally draw 108 mAdc each. That is 216 mAdc for a pair. Where did the 130 ma red line com
There's a lot of that going around. Current worms send many emails. They look for addresses in the infected computer then pick one to use as the spoofed sender and the rest as victims. The message ju
The VFO's work opposite from each other. The threads inside that make the slug move are clockwise in one and counter-clockwise in the other. Other than that, I'm not sure of any difference between th
I use the SB220 with various Ten-Tecs. Here is my experience: I set the drop-out delay in the rigs to the longest hold time. Then I just key the rig and operate normally. While the amplifier is in tr
No. Motorola produced a VHF marine radio and called it the "Triton." They fussed at Ten-Tec. Discretion being the better part of valor, Ten-Tec changed from calling the rig the Triton to just saying
You might be able to de-gunk the Corsair by submerging the whole radio in a vat of kerosene for several months. Otherwise the only way to do it properly is to dismantle the PTO. It is possible to rem
Winston (and others) please note that because the Omni-C has a 9 MHz IF frequency, it is prone to transmit many spurs on the 18 MHz band. I suggest that if that band is important to you that you cons
