My 422 Centurion manual has very adequate instructions for tuning, and that is what I go by. Best regards - Bry Carling _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@cont
Ig not exceeding max specs. And yes of course Rick - that is precisely why we dip Ip first before everything else, and always watch for not exceeding maximum plate current rating as well as maximum I
Some rigs yes. Some rigs no. It doesn't necessarily follow that something is wrong with the equipment. If you want an example, try looking at a Drake manual. Best regards - Bry Carling ______________
Rick - make sure you use an ink that can be removed. The next owner may not want that, and you may get less for the amplifier when reselling it. _______________________________________________ TenTec

Interesting developments. I have a newly rewound HV power transformer installed in my Tentec 422. It appears to be working. No more blowing primary fuses and I now see the 3000V or so that I expect o
Thanks Don - I will call them tomorrow and buy the kit. Or find those 5 parts on the web. This QSK board was already replaced once by the previous owner. It seems to be the other one of two very weak
By the way - I have heard of 7 or 8 of these Centurion HV transformers blowing in recent years and then being rewound. I can imagine that there have been quite a few of the transformers replaced by T
Yes and the good news is my Centurion is up and running after I replaced the two chips on the QSK board today. However the fan still won't run so I need to fix that before using it any more. I always
Thanks Bob - my 422 cebnturion is all fixed and working 100% now. First I installed the newly rewound plate transformer from Gary Brown of TRS. Thanks so much Gary, for the wonderful top-quality rewi
Kim I can think of many reasons. The used amp I bought with relays was a lot cheaper to acquire than a new amp with pin diodes. Even with reopairing it I saved money. Does Ten Tec use PIN diodes in t
Ver yinteresting gary... I have to wonder why some guys will spend $500 for an external accessory to do QSK with their linear amplifier. The system in my TT 422 is so simple. A couple of simple board
Yes, but I think a lot of radio amateurs using good QSK Rigs like the Tentec have managed to convert their amplifiers for QSK operation by adding a circuitboard like the QSK 1500 or the QSK5. I reali
Thank you Rick. I enjoy QSK whatever the background noise is not too high. I frequently have a noise level of about S7 on 80 m and 40m here in Florida. That does not make for a great situation unless
Rick - I would say that the 813 is also a great valve. You used to be able to buy them for $20.- 30 each not too long ago, but because they are out of production ver few manufacturers still want to u
Do any of these TT noise blankers do anything for you guys. Mine appears to do very little in my Omni VI Plus... Best regards - Bry Carling _______________________________________________ TenTec mail
Strange - mine in the OMNI VI+ does NOTHING to either of these types of noises no matter how you adjust the radio. I'll have whatever Bill is having... _______________________________________________
