I do not know how much trouble it would be. But, I sure would like to see an addition of revision level schematics to the on line manuals. If the Eagle is going to come back with any hardware revisio
I'm going to jump in on Eagle ergonomics. I like the controls and physical layout. But, if the thing is going to get reworked physically a big heat sink would be nice. Get rid of the fans! The Alda 1
Allan Perhaps I am missing something but, I do not see any difference between the 366 and the main board in the Eagle. 73, Bob AH7I With all this talk about how bad the Orion II is, I am wondering if
yes. 366 and main board in eagle look the same and have same pn for some revs. if you cannibalize an eagle...i might want some of the parts! 73, bob ah7i
My 565 subRX board works fine but no audio. If anyone is looking for a project Orion 1, make offer. Too many higher priority projects here. 73, Bob ah7i/w4
It's a reasonable rate considering what everything else costs these days. There is always the DIY cost averaging approach. I just completed some repairs on my pickup truck. Parts cost $140. Cost to h
Kris Are these 811 or 572? I've never owned a Centaur but have not had any trouble with non-matched tubes in other amps, provided they were from the same OEM. A single used 811 or 572 should be prett
If RKR continues with TT operations, it returns TenTec to the old days of in house manufacturing. This looks very good to me. TT took care of problems with my 599 and now I'm happy with it. After car
Dave I really like that the 588 has ethernet for remote control. It has 5 filter slots instead of 3. It has an input for a separate receive antenna. It also has 100W 100% duty cycle. Cleaner transmi
With the keyer enabled, there is a continuous stream of dashes. I do not see 5V on the ring of the paddle connection. I do see 5V on the tip. If I ground the tip, alternate dot-dash results. If I pro
Aloha Barry! I'm in digest mode :-) Yes. Nothing plugged in. No continuity to ground on tip or ring. 5V on tip. If I ground the tip, I get the expected alternating dots and dashes. If I pull the ring
Charles, Not familiar with that particular VFO. For string drive, BOTH ends of the string must be under tension at all times or the string may slip in the direction away from the release of tension.
I do not know about the Omni VII but the Orion knob already weighs 6 ounces. It seems to have plenty of inertia. Take the friction off (hold trim ring and turn knob CCW) and a little spin will take i
Dear Rick, Have a look using the search term, "low drop out" regulator. Mouser and I'm sure the others have a wide selection. Specs are much better than the old three terminal jobs. 73, Bob ah7i/w4
Aloha Jims (OCG and KGI)- On the antenna topic. I was using a 10m(33') vertical folded dipole made/fed with 300 Ohm TV twinlead(1.6 cents a foot at Radio Shack sale) and found the same. It worked wel
I don't have an Omni VI. I have an ill Eagle that's still under warranty. Looked at the manual and read that the keying waveform is adjustable via R24 on the control board. Also that the T/R keying i

John Thanks! OmniRig works great with the 599 and HDSDR. TenTec USB -> serial purchased with a RX320(pre-D) is still going strong in another application. Do the 599 and the 539 use the same 9MHz tap
