Steve, Did you try reducing the RF GAIN or turning on the ATTN on the 7300? Also, I don't understand why you say "it isn't fair" to turn on the NR on the 7300. That's its tool. The Corsair has other
With all this talk of "jump in noise", has anyone actually made an effort to assure both radios are adjusted for equal sensitivity before comparing? I recall my old Argonauts being very quiet but the
When I compare radios, I take a pair of identical small stereo speakers and connect one to each radio. Then I run a bunch of subjective tests... and then swap the speakers and run the tests again. 73
Hmmm, now that is an interesting measurement Steve. Based on that, my Eagle is far superior to anything made back in the 70s/80/90s. Back then I used to run contests and yes, occasionally fall asleep
I'm not aware of any, except for the old ARRL frequency measuring contests (hi). 73 - Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) Since I've been using the Corsair II instead of my modern PC attached rig I
That's what they build, I guess. 73 - Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) What's with this built in China crap?? Tom N4RS _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@c
I have to opposite opinion of the menu. Couldn't have a simpler menu. It is different and you have to get used to it, but different does not equal difficult or bad. Within days you use the menu in yo
You don't want a FLEX 3000. OLD technology and requires a hefty PC to run it. If you can't afford the 6300 then buy an ANAN instead, but not a 3000. Besides, the 3000 has a dirty TX. 73 - Rick, DJ0IP
Even if it equaled the K3 performance, it would be outstanding. But the problem is and remains Xtal Filters. We'll need 6, maybe 8 of them and we'll be lucky if they are priced under $100 each. 73 -
Which parts are no longer available? Silly question. DOES NOT MATTER. You can substitute just about anything for that stuff. This is not the problem. Redesign cost peanuts. A dozen members here could
Yup! :-) 73 - Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) Gee, you just described a K3. :) 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists
One of the reasons the Hilberling is so expensive is because it is analog. HONESTLY: if it costs more than $2500, how many people here would still buy it? As much as I would enjoy it, I would not spe
Dave, that was exactly my experience with the K3. I left the manual on the desk all the time because I always had to look something up. As you say if it were the only radio in use, we would probably
Yes Dave, but even Rob Sherwood does not recommend using that list to choose your radio. You should use it to "help choose", not choose. According to Rob, the NUMBER ONE criteria for choosing a radio
Do they actually fit in slots or was that just a theoretical comment? Keep in mind that not every radio that claims 9MHz IF actually uses 9.000000 MHz. So sometimes they don't work. But maybe this is
Impressive video. Maybe we should all build one. How much does the kit cost? 73 - Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) Barry. I think they're rare. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEX
They seem to be very PROUD of their radios! 73 - Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) Yeah, at first I failed to see that a 100W transmitter was a +$2000 option. Yikes _______________________________

It was WORTHLESS. Don't use it. I always used external baluns with my various Ten-Tec tuners. You should use a 1:1 Guanella balun and don't let anyone tell you any different. The 4:1 many people reco
