Hi, I just bought a Corsair II but the main panel came with black knobs: https://www.mouser.com/productdetail/eagle-plastic-devices/450-2035-grx?qs=EiTGd8sy9OpcHbE3i4kt2Q== The dial knob looks origin
Hi, I asked about this some months ago, maybe somebody has seen something in the meantime. I bought a Corsair II; I'm impressed with how it works, really simple and functional, I don't get tired of i
Hi Barry, You are absolutely right. I have been using the Corsair to monitor local traffic in 40 meter, where signals are so strong that any off-frequency parasitic response due to the spurious tones
For which frequency ? https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/rec.radio.amateur.antenna/tg8Wmst8uCA/UWInjCQkhQ8J https://www.hamradio.me/connectors/uhf-connector-test-results.html I moved to N and SM
Hi, I just bought an Argonaut VI and got disappointed with the received audio (when comparing it with a Corsair II). When monitoring with headphones it improves a lot, but there is some hiss in the b
Hi, I think that most of you are not understanding the question. - I bought a (lovely) Argonaut VI. - The received audio sounds distorted, it improves with headphones. - To get a feeling of the noise
Indeed! Your mods are in my "to do" list. the year doesn't _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tente
Hi, I'll take a proper look when I'm back home (away for the whole week). My guess is that the audio amplifier is damaged, but that is just a guess. In regards to the encoder-related noise... it is n
Hi Rick, Success. I have been away for almost the entire week due to work commitments (I'm very fortunate, my job involves HF receivers and direction finders) but today I managed to put a couple of h
Hi Paul, It might be that somebody repaired the radio fitting a different Xtal to the heterodyne oscillator (maybe the original one could not be sourced?), as there are two combinations of VFO ranges
Hi Gary, I have never used the radio in 10 meters, so I wrongly assumed that it was like in the rest of the bands. I'll find out later today (I just bought a 1210 transverter) Thanks for the note, ve
Hi, I have been restoring a 555 that somebody dropped in the past. The volume shaft is a bit bent and, before trying to strengthen it... is there somewhere to source it (Mouser, Element14) or the lik
Hi Greg, I think it has to do with preselection and dynamic range. Most inexpensive (don't want to call them "cheap") SDR receivers for HF suffer due to strong broadcasters somewhere in the HF/MF ban
Hi, I noticed that the AM carrier (in 10 meters at least) is almost 600 Hz lower than the supressed carrier in USB. So in USB the radio is almost spot on, but in AM the carrier appears shifted to the
Hi Bob, Thanks for your message. I was hoping for some form of engineering mode to modify this. I used SpectrumLab as audio signal generator and a R&S FPC1500 spectrum analyzer. In USB works nicely (
Ionosonde ? 73, Carlos VK1EA what I have observed with it is very much on topic. the band (all bands). It is fairy strong. The signal consists of actually three peaks that typically start on the low
Hi Lee, Gerry VK7GC was selling his Argonaut VI on VKClassifieds not long ago. Plenty of Scouts on ebay at the moment... but that is a completely different animal. What do you want the radio for? SOT
Hi Lee, I have an Argonaut VI at home, and an Argonaut V on the way from the US. The Argonaut VI, taking low level audio from the rear DIN connector and using an external amplified speaker, and tweak
Hi Bob, Yes, ionosounders appear as a moving clean carrier, they can sweep the band you are working in 3 or 4 seconds. What you describe looks to me like a harmonic of a switched-mode power supply wh
Hi, I finished (sort of) an EB-104 module kit some weeks ago. I tested it with 4 x 12V power supplies connected in series and puts 500 W (fundamental and harmonics) with ease. I don't have LPF filter
