No, I don't want to sell these. The info should be made available for free. 73, Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) May the Sunspots be with us! Rick: Would it be possible to put the files on a CD o
Hi Gunner, Well there is nothing I can do about that at my end. You must tell your Junk detector the always accept emails from my email account. 73, Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) May the Sunsp

GM Paul, The safest way is to use the TX OUT/EN mod that Gary describes and Patrick pointed out. This is not some kind of hack; it is exactly how it is done on later model transceiver that have this
I put my 25 year old NOS into my AL-80A and let it cook for a while, then slowly applied power. I slowly ran the output power up until about 400w out. It increasingly was showing a light blue inside.
Well I bought my first transistorized amp about 25 years ago (ALS-600). But I had a problem with it in contests. When operating CQWW DX contest in late November, portable in the mountains of Liechten
Bob, your email is a great lead into what Rob Sherwood has been preaching for about 6 or 7 years now: "Consider Cost-of-Ownership (COO) when buying a new radio." Potentially, every radio, regardless
The nice things about code are: - it doesn't suddenly go End-of-Life - it is portable to the next model radio When I said $2K was my personal limit, I meant just that: "my" limit. I didn't mean it sh
David, you didn't start a firestorm. To the contrary, you triggered a very important twist on the thread of getting old radios repaired. Fundamentally: forget it. And the lesson to be learned is, it
There is nothing wrong with web-only stores. Ours (Spiderbeam) has been in business as a web-only store for 18 years, is growing like crazy and the biggest limiting factor is finding qualified people
I must emphasize what Bob says about different headphones. I did this with my Eagle, trying about 6 different headphones. On some the noise was loud, some it was not very loud and on one it was inaud
Paul, Technically you are correct, but practically it is of no consequence. This noise is inaudible when you use the radios to listen to signals. You notice it only when you turn the audio way down t
"The higher performance rigs are becoming more susceptible to variations in performance from one rig to the next (same model), due to variations in COMPONENT to COMPONENT differences.... i.e. differe
Of course Paul is right, in theory. But this point is being HIGHLY exaggerated. If you use the radio as one would use it in a QSO, you can change headphones all day long and you don't notice anything
I have only used the Argo 6 and Eagle on HF. I can only hear the noise when turning the RF and AF all the way down. While listening to signals, I don't hear it. I do agree that Ten-Tec should not hav
Paul, OK, I accept that. It's correct. 73, Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt, Germany) Rick & Bob, I should have stated from the beginning that I wasn't singling out the Argo VI. The eham reviews I'm referr
IMO, when it comes to comparing two radios with each other, there's no such thing as an unfair comparison! What I deem to be unfair is to set up a radio in a state that no one would ever use it in, s
GM Reed, Your evaluation is correct, but... Still, I maintain that every comparison is fair. If one rig costs $10K and the other costs only $800, it's interesting to me to know what all I get for the
