Does the old Ten-Tec Argonaut group still exist? Over the years, participation dwindled, and I haven't had an email from the group for a couple of years. I can't seem to find it either. If the group
Something OLD, something NEW. These legacy Argonaut radios are old, our group is new. Today, Bob (K4TAX) and I have created a new group for Ten-Tec fans of legacy Argonaut (Analog) Radios. Specifical
Because this is a perpetual question, I have saved this information on my web site, under "Ten-Tec Stuff." https://www.dj0ip.de/ten-tec-stuff/564-vs-563-opt-3/ 73, Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany
Howie, You will find a PDF copy of the original TX-100 manual on my web site, here: https://www.dj0ip.de/ten-tec-stuff/manuals/ The TX-100 had a 6LQ6 sweeptube as final amp. 73, Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Fran
I agree with Bob, except 'if' you have a linear amp between the Eagle and the antenna, it could also be the TR relay in the amplifier. It certainly sounds like a TR relay contact problem. With the Ea
Carlos, If you do end up replacing the Eagle's Relay, you might want to read this first: https://www.dj0ip.de/ten-tec-stuff/eagle-cw-keying/new-eagle-t-r-relay/ 73, Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, German
I used my OM6 with Ameritron amps, no problem; because I used an external keyer with built in time-sequence keying. Originally I used my own home-brew keyer; ugly but effective. I built it with a fix
Nice story, Jim, My 505 story has a similar finding. I moved to Germany in 1972 and joined a radio club that ran a drake 4B line at Field Day. I got my 505 for Christmas in 1975. At Field Day 1976, w
STOP; DO NOT DO ANYTHING YET! "ASSUMPTIONS" are very dangerous. Connecting the Eagle to an original SB-200 will damage the Eagle; specifically blow out its open-collector Amp-Key circuit. Please find
Actually there are various kits for installing inside of the SB-200 that present a 12v keying circuit. That's why I said he needs to tell us exactly how the amp has been modified, with circuit drawin
The problem with using an external relay is, it adds additional latency to the scenario, and there is already a timing issue with it on CW. The very best solution is to replace the SB-200's internal
GM Jim, You've received some bogus information. There is no such thing as 'a' schematic of the 509, and the 208 was not built in. It was built into some of the later 100w transceivers. The 509 Manual
A friend of mine in Bulgaria has used this radio. Build quality is excellent, but the RX is a bit noisy. BTW, I always thought the Scout was a bit noise, too. I used an external SCAF audio filter wit
I have replaced my Eagle with a 7300 and I am quite happy with it. I also use an external preselector with it (probably not necessary in the states). More important, I NEVER run it with the RF gain f
[LIKE] I can define better: CW QSK Nothing beats the older Ten-Tecs. Newer radios have outstanding digital features, but they also introduce DSP latency, and depending on the ability of the software
Excellent detailed information from Steve. The only thing I would change is, you can't just think of todays dollars when evaluating the theoretical cost of the radio today. Xtal filters now cost abou
Tim, send me the model number of the CW filter and the Calibrator. I likely have the manuals for them as PDF. 73, Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) May the Sunspots be with us! Lower price, $295 I
OK, I know, he already DID send the model numbers... 208 and 206A. Yes, sometimes it helps to read more carefully. Unfortunately I did not find these in my PDF file. I may have them in paper copy, bu
Ha ha, that's not Heathkit, that's Mike. He is a member of this group. He builds small stuff for heath, Ten-Tec, and other radios. Good stuff! 73, Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) May the Sunspot
In searching my paper files, I found three manuals which may be of interest: 1. 962 Complete Manual 2. Model 206-A Crystal Calibrator 3. Model 224 CW Filter (Audio Filter) http://www.dj0ip.de/ten-tec
