Jim sounds like you might be one of those Elecraft list watchers for Elecraft.. :-) ....but also here...which it doesn't appear from your posting that you continue to own a Ten-Tec transceiver. (just

Changed the Subject line...hope no one minds. Funny that should come up. We had a visitor to our site that asked the same question of all of our radio gear... And yes if there were an EMP event you c
I think anyone so put off by the slow operating practices of those on the other end of the path in persuit of a winning score should be required to spend the 24 hours manning the GOTA station working
That's ok...I showed it as a dupe. Good news is since it was a digital posting it counted for 2 points. Cecil K5DL -- Original Message -- From: "Ken Brown" <ken.d.brown@hawaiiantel.net> To: "Discussi
Sorry changed the subject line since the subject has changed... This comes at a time when I am trying to make sense of some problems with my station. I'm a recent Ten-Tec convert having bought a used

One TV in question is stand alone..no external speakers. Tuning the station will cause that TV to switch on and then you can't turn it off without unplugging it and letting it sit for a while. My mod
I don't agree with the central ground point utilization unless it is the station power supply which is the only DC zero voltage point. That DC voltage point should be connected to the external groun
Maybe I'm being overly optimistic about human nature, but I think most hams would be receptive to suggestions about improving the quality of their signals. I agree with you Jim, I certainly want my
Just my 2 cents worth.... Your grounding work shouldn't start just outside the wall from the radio gear...it really should start at the tower and be an antenna/tower grounding "System" designed to st
Our club bought a used one recently for some club station contesting. Paid $1800. I tested it recently for the club and it worked fine. 85 watts in 1700 out into my dummy load.. Nice old amp. Cecil K
Cecil, You are spot on. A direct ground strike will develop up to 400 kA-pk. At 5 ohms that is a serious voltage surge. The Voltage Surge will have a very fast rise time (less than 100nS), the curre
Might want to do the same inquery on the Hex Beam. I've heard it's a great expedition asset but not so much for a permanent station installation. (out performed easily by other basic yagis) No person
I agree... I do see many love the antenna especially for restricted/limited installation locations. Cecil... -- Original Message -- From: "Gene Story - Earthlink" <gfstory@earthlink.net> To: "Discuss
Correct and the accepted definition of Dual Conversion in the world of Superhetrodyne receiver design would be a radio with two distinct RF frequency IF's before detection or demodulation to audio. C
I don't believe the spectrum display works on the sub receiver. I think that is a hardware thing....it probably won't ever work in the Sub receiver..at least not in the OII. Just my best guess though
Not sure what version you updated from. I haven't seen that little dot on mine (2.044) but recently updated to 3.029. Dot sounds like a nice idea because with the display freezing it is hard to tell
Thanks for the input Ray.. I continue to try different settings but the 20hz has worked well for me also. Seems the biggest player is the RF gain setting as well.. It seems to determine the depth the
It depends on what you are doing with the radio... Chasing DX at the noise level it's a feature mostly only high end radio's have. Many don't work well but those that are implemented properly make a
