Thank you Jeff. You are a very good man for publically apologizing. You are very welcome here. In my nearly 20 years here in the group, I've said much worse than that a time or two and had to apologi
Andy, In the case of the email I got purporting to be from the Argonaut group reflector, it was signed by the Chase Bank Team. Now why would Chase Bank be sending a collective email to the Argonaut g
Steve, you are barking up the wrong tree. The QSK delay in the Argo6 only affects recovery delay time for its own receiver, it does not affect the external amp key delay. You don't even need to progr
I will add that if you are willing to invest a few hours of soldering, mine is a $10 solution. I have been using this delay method for over 40 years now. 73 - Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) Ste
The contact at International Crystal is Darell Brehm, WA3OPY. 73 - Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) Check with the folks at ICM crystals in Oklahoma City. They still maintain a list of crystals f

Dear OM and YL's Last night Mike Dishop gave me an update on the current status of the two companies and asked me to pass it on wherever I can. Here is the status, followed by a personal message from
YUK! Why would you do something silly like that, Bob? Why not just a double-dipole with the 40m radiator hung about 2 ft. below the 80m radiator? And in the meantime, the ONLY way I would address tha
Indeed it has. I had the actual figures about 2 months ago (still do, somewhere). If I remember correctly, they must be up to 8 to 10 thousand units by now. Hard to fight the economies of scale when
Jim, you're bragging. 212 countries from SF is only like 285 countries from EU! :) 73 - Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) Yes. I have successfully used a pair of 80/40 fan dipoles at right angles
Bob brings up a very good point - not everyone likes radios like the 7300. Carl's comments are valid and ICOM certainly hit the jackpot with that radio but a lot of people have sold them soon after p
Interesting set of opinions flowing in. I have no idea which one I would follow if I were Mike. I don't agree with Barry, nor Terry. I do think a limited number of Eagles would be a good thing. I kno
Long ago Jack Burchfield designed the Scout to be "his" radio. He wanted a simple radio to use mobile and portable. Making the latest greatest radio on the planet was not part of the goal, although t
To add to Carl's point, the cost of XTAL filters will soon obsolete the heterodyning technology. I have an opinion on why the 7300 is so popular and I am certain it is just as wrong as the next guy's
Ron, we have continuously run monthly ads in local magazines showing a picture of the Eagle until December 2016 (just 2 months ago). We will resume running the same ad and picture but add "THE EAGLE
Yes, but FLEX MARKETING $$$ put that technology on the map. 73 - Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) FWIW, the ANAN/OpenHPSDR direct sampling radios were out before the Flex 6000 series of direct sa
Which is why I said I would not choose a fan dipole either. Feed your dipole 33.3% from one end, through a 4:1 Ruthroff (voltage) balun and immediately through a 1:1 Guanella choke. Both easy to wind
So rather than just talk about it, I drew a picture: http://www.dj0ip.de/ricki-leaks/old-man-radio-one/ THIS IS ONLY A DRAWING, there is no such radio in existence or even in planning! 73 Rick, DJ0IP
Terry, you have mentioned "decoder" for the second time. What specifically do you mean? I don't see a need for a decoder inside my radio. I decode CW in my head and for digi-modes, we need a computer
BOTH IDEAS GREAT, CHAS! 73 - Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) Lots of great ideas being put forth here. A couple of additional things I would suggest : - Provide an easier way of getting into the
