My loading control does not seem to have much effect on 80 meters. I believe the amplifier acts as if it does not have sufficient load capacitance. I base this on my finding that I can never create t
Actually Bill ... the posts seem to be made by new owners who are asking the same questions that others have, and keep asking. Check out the callsigns to confirm this ... it's not the same 12 or so.
Do you see this on all bands? Same problems into a dummy load? Those would be some checks to do next to try and isolate what is going on ... 73 Billy AA4NU -- Original Message -- From: "I2DMI" <i2dmi
N0KHQ gives some very interesting tips ... to make the new Ten Tec gear be less "RFI sensitive" ... most of which is worthy of consideration until: Some hams get a little confused when talking about

Even a stock Orion is still well ahead of modified MP's and the $80 Inrad #762 puts it even farther ahead. That's just the facts, ma'am. Subjective or objective? OK, Bill ... using your 'facts' ... f
Spacing ARRL MkV ARRL MP RSGB MP 2 kHz 79 (+10) 71 (+2) 71 (+3) Comparable RSGB data for Orion's 2400 Hz filter at 2 kHz spacings is 89 dB. RSGB did not test the optional 1800 Hz filter but Sherwood
My sentiments exactly! It's now time for you to go post on the Yaesu reflector. SMILE ... Really, who died and left you to decide what everyone can/can't do on here? Can't take the heat? I've owned T
Billy, the fundamental difference is that the FT-1000s have had this key click for nearly 15 years. The cure has been known for many years, and they haven't addressed this issue to this day! It's an

My conclusions? I love my Orion, it really doesn't bother me that some don't like it, and I only hope my competition doesn't discover it. And as an accurate, but subjective statement ... I'd agree wi
Bill, Again, congrats on your contesting scores/effort. You continue to create straw men ... with lots of what-if's such as the time the M/x staffed the bands/etc. Ditto as to the prop/etc. As my pro
I have been watching, but yet I haven't found out where I can get a narrow roofing filter for my Omni-VI. Can someone enlighten me? http://www.qth.com/inrad/ for details ... MC & HNY! 73 Billy AA4NU
I believe that ON4UN did a comparison between the 87A and ACOM in his LowBand DXing book? That might be a source of information for some ... HNY! 73 Billy AA4NU
I recall something similar ... being described in Ham Radio magazine about the time frame you mentioned ... the QST article was much later. Always wanted to build the HR idea, and see how it worked.
Perhaps I am showing my age but a forgotten 'trick' that can be used with just about any rcvr ... is to simply back off the RF GAIN to create a similar situation ... as in if the noise level is S-7,
Just for balance, I've been using a pair of the internal boards here in the AL1200s for approaching 10 years, many guest ops, across many different brands of gear ... with no damage. May everyone ha

Well now ... put me in Tom's camp ... as some of your "ideas" seem to go against what the professionals like Polyphaser state. Tom's done MANY things correctly from reading his details ... Funny als
How many times did they have to do a master reset? So I guess if you are going to be operating in a fairly busy contest, the 7800 is the way to go? B-) B-) B-) 73 Billy AA4NU
