i just acquired a ten tec centurion. before i connect up or try cw on it, i want to ask the correct way to hook up the 570 which has its own keyer. the centurion manual shows how to hook up a cw key
My guess here is that you dont use the DSP on SSB to dig out weak sigs. Its not made for that. The PT 3 is here being used to amplify signal and noise, which if Im not mistaken you can do by adding a
The Centurion is a nicely operating upgrade from the SB-220. Everything is forgiving on this amp. I replaced the caps and equalizing resistors after a single cap failure. I overdid it on AM on 10 met
Dan, I had trouble reading your post in that at first the PBT control doesnt work in SSB-n and CW. And then you state that it does work. Where am I confused? _________________________________________
Hi Ed, I've had the Scout mobile for about 3 years now and can comment on some of your questions. The tune switch should give you 20 watts, based on a 50 watt output. I believe that since there is a
Yes, but will anyone hear you? Doubt it beyond 50-100 miles away. In theory you could go 2:1 all day providing you have a fan on the heatsink. Above that and you risk the thermal shutoff taking you o
The relative truth of my statement is relative to the band you are on, its characteristics at the time of day you happen to be on the air, the propogation, and the combination of physical/mathematica
Steve, I didnt intend my explanation to be a complete or concise illustration of SWR. I did not intend to confuse you either. Jim has quoted the text book, and that is the gospel. If he or I helped y
These are the ghost signals given off by various government service communications centers of the past on halloween. If you try to notch them out they may toilet paper your ladder line raising the SW
The mod is made simply by tacking one end of a very short wire to one side of the diode and then tacking the same wire, but the other end of it, to the other side of the diode effectively bypassing t
I use the proc. on my Omni 6 plus opt.1 full time at 12 o'clock. I vary the mic. gain depending on band and desired results. Noone has had a problem with my audio, just the opposite, I get unsolicite
I agree, in fact that's what I did. I listen to cw with the 1.8khz/6.3mhz filter and upon finding a signal that needs filtering help I then engage the 500hz/6.3mhz filter, if it needs more, I engage
Hi Chris, The reason there's no instruction in the manual is that its complicated. If you have electronics training you might proceed. If I tried to explain it the engineer types on the reflector wou
I love Keith's post about being behind the curve. Actually he is at the peak of the curve letting the fruit ripen and the beta testing done by an army of passionate hams willing to grab the brass rin
Buy your last amplifier first and save lots of headache and money! The Centurion has it all and does it all. There are instances where the Centurion may not be your next amp. They are: 1.You insist o
The 301 is just an optical encoder and all it did was serve as an external tuning knob with the Omni V and VI and VIplus. The RS 232 on the rear panel provided the interface for this accessory. There
John, Most Jupiter users are using the 302 for remote tuning. Would you tell me how you got the 301 to work with the Jupiter? TIA _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list T
John, I was hoping there was a way to do it. I have a 301 and an Omni 6/opt1 and am vy happy with it. I also have a Jupiter, but want only to remotely tune the rig w/o any other function. ___________
DITO? It's ditto! K8DIT OH by the way, Ill trade my JUP even up for an ORIon. AnY TaKeRs? _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contes
Are the Jupiter's close in specs anywhere published? How does it compare with the VI and the Orion? Curious minds want to know! Gee, for a single conversion IF, the K2 is certainly pushing the envelo
