Great idea, John. That is exactly what I found when I had a Centaur, but your idea never occurred to me. An acoustics engineer where I work told me the problem was that the slots were too small/restr
Barry, It's possible to do because the software in DX4WIN does not disturb the bandwidth setting if jumping to the same mode. However, WriteLog has the same problem you mention (don't know what BW it
Hi gang, I'm seriously considering replacing my ICOM IC-275H (2m 100w All-mode) tranceiver with the Ten-Tec 526 '6n2' rig. (the name reminds me of the ol' Johnson 6n2 Thunderbolt I lugged to the moun
Hi Paul - not really - the Omni sale helps offset the Orion purchase (or the water heater replacement that was needed when I returned from Dayton - argh!). I'm figuring I might be able to sell the IC
I finally got brave and turned on the bandscope this evening. Have used it for a couple of hours with no ill effects yet. I still doubt I'll ever use it except to find DX pileups quickly.... 73, Duan
Barry, Are you selling this because you've replaced it with a better one? I'm currently hanging onto my 500 Hz from my Omni for teh Orion (if it ever arrives!)... Should I be looking at other ones? W
Please, not on the TT reflector. Whether we agree or not on this one, it is clearly tangential at best to Ten-Tec. Start a different reflector for this discussion! 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austi
Torrey, Many microphones, including the Ten-Tec 706 require voltage to power their preamp circuitry. This is very common on radios from all the manufacturers. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Te
Of course, Heil also makes the 4-pin adapter for Ten-Tec radios, just like they make the 8 pin adapters for the other rigs. I agree - the number of pins has nothing to do with the "RF problem." 73, D
Decades ago, when I was a systems test technician on the big IBM mainframe computers, it was very important to have all gounding systems (logic ground, power ground and frame ground) separated for th
So, then, you'll still need the cluster information so you know what to avoid! 73, Duane (the other one - the guy who works on hardware and uses software) -- Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas http://
I wrote the other day that the Orion I used a few months ago had no RFI problem with a standard Heil ProSet with the Heil-made Ten-Tec adapter. Well, I received my own Orion last night (yay!) and fou
In my case, the antenna in use at the time of this "problem" is one that's very close to the shack. I'm not blaming the radio - yet. I pulled the mic connection and the RFI disappeared. So, I need to
Looks like the thread I started has mutated significantly! Yuri, I'm not sure if I agree with you on this. I've had ICOMs and Kenwoods which were worse than this radio (they would block or go limp wi
Jerry, Go to Radio Shack and buy the matching cables and/or adapters to get you from the RCA females to what you need. Or go to Buck's web site and have him make one up to your design. He quoted me $
I've found, after using a Bencher for years, that they an OK paddle, but are not very precise. That might not be a big deal if you learned on a bug and slap your paddles around a lot (I had a bit of
I'll put one more plug in for the Begali Simplex. It is a spring-activated paddle, but you won't find a better one, and I think the magnetics are often more tricky to get set properly. The Begali has
Vern, they are essentially the same, however an Omni Opt 3 could be several years older than the VI+. The earlier one may not have the crystal oven that stays on whenever +13.6V is applied, as all VI
