Hi Bruno - Can you elaborate on the problem? Is this the issue that causes the receiver to be dead until the rig warms up? Just wondering if it could be fixed without locating a new board. 73 NV1B ..
Hi Garry - Not sure if the C22 uses the same size as the Corsair II, but it seems possible. The Corsair II uses a 0.050 inch hexagonal screw. Thanks for the QSO yesterday and for trying to pull my 2
Hi Garry - I just happened to watch a video on the Ten-Tec Jupiter and found that it too uses a 0.050 hex set screw. Probably a safe bet, though not a guarantee, that Ten-Tec standardized on this siz
The Eklind set is what I have (red holder, 9 long wrenches, 9 short wrenches). Had to buy the set just to get the size. That said, this USA made Eklind set has been great, and includes some other siz
Hi Shawn - The symptoms you describe aren't the same as what I ran into with my Corsair II (jumpy VFO) but might be related. I'm almost certain the fix here was exercising variable resistor R29 on th
Hi Snowy - Are you using the matching model 225 power supply? I had an Argosy II back around 1993 - bought it used at HRO in Salem NH - and I vaguely recall that when it had some kind of issue I call
I and others had a similar problem on a K2. It's possible the spring tab inside the headphone jack has fatigued and broken. Probably just need to replace the jack.
I understand this group buy is for just the bare board. How would be PIC programming be handled? I wonder if response is slowed than desired because people would have to find or buy a PIC programming
Before I start trying to isolate the source of my Corsair II's PTO drift, I wonder if anyone has suggestions about possible causes. I'm making a couple assumptions: 1) the drift is due to temperature
Thanks Jerry - very helpful. The drift isn't so much a steady increase or decrease over extended time, but rather, both up and down frequency variation by +/- 100 Hz or so, within a span of several s
Bob, you are correct - I should clarify this is more of a jump than a steady drift. It wavers slowly, both plus and minus around the desired frequency. A fan blowing ambient air into the holes in the
Hi Jerry - While I can understand your frustration, in Ten-Tec's defense I don't think it's fair to publish a widespread complaint naming a specific employee about a specific incident. Expecting that
Understood. It's unfortunate that it ended up on the list. Mistakes happen. No hard feelings to you or Glenn or anyone else, I assure you, and I apologize if I sounded like I placed blame in places w
Exactly... I was just waiting for people to start in on him. Let's try to help him learn. Have a look at his personal site and see what he and his XYL have done for others... now maybe extend the sam
Can someone provide me with a photo of the insides of a Ten-Tec SL-11R power supply? This is the rebadged Astron supply that was often seen powering the Scout 555. Thanks, --Andrew, NV1B ..
