But don't expect it to provide a clue as to how to build a ground system for proper lightning protection...it is concerned most about electrical safety grounding...important but not the all inclusive
It's sad the stereotypical view some have of the Deep South. Quality of life is just fine...in fact you don't even know what you are missing. We may talk a bit slow but are educated just the same. We
Dang...and I've been thinking all these years the work we do at all these commercial transmitter sites has been doing some good.... Guess I need to look for other work.... Cecil K5DL Sent from my iPa
Not if his focus is providing lightning protection...he is spot on. Jim your concepts are fine in a studio somewhere but show up at a cell/tower site with them and they will run you off with a stick.
I agree...I'd buy that. That said I would also like to see Ten-Tec do a blow out flagship to showcase the best they are capable of. It would be a low volume unit but would be competitive with the Ico
Oh don't read me wrong...never said the Orion was not a giant killer...it was. Keyword here is WAS. All the others mentioned are still being made and have some killer bells and whistles you would exp
Good discussion. My only issue is I have a tendency to do more DXing and I don't consider the Eagle a tool I would choose for that job. I also press my DXing rig into contest duty which is easily don

It's a contingency...when the world turns to crap the government is going to commandeer the Amateur radio spectrum and you won't be allowed on it. It will be under control of the local agencies...we
You don't even want to get me started.... Maybe the quality was the same...maybe it wasn't...I don't know...but just the fact that your company (and many others) took its manufacturing to China is at
Neat thing they didn't have in 1959 Jim.... The DELETE KEY....just push it and the world gets happy again... On another topic closer to home...secondary market prices for Orion II's seem to be stayin
I won't buy a high end radio that is point and click...just ain't happening. Full front panel...stand alone from a separate computer. Guess i am old school and I don't expect it to change. Don't care
I don't really want that busying up my station computer...would rather have a VGA port on the radio to connect a standard off the shelf computer monitor to...that way I could also determine the size
