Many thanks for the replies, guys. I'll be prudent and build or buy something a bit tougher and relegate the 252G to use with accessories. It didn't cost much anyway. 73, Craig W3CRR
Call the great folks at Ten Tec and ask who paints their cabinets and see if they'd be willing to repaint yours. If that doesn't work, the company that painted Drake's old cabinets is still in busine
I just built a 40 amp supply, so the little 252G that I've been using with my Corsair is up for sale. It's in nice shape with no dents are major cosmetic flaws. The front panel is blemish free. The s
I just had the coolest QSO! It was a 15-minute PSK31 exchange with a young fella in Wisconsin. So what? Well, I'm at my office and my radio is ten miles away at home. I realize this isn't earth-shatt
Please pardon me if this is an "apples and oranges" question, but, how would you compare the Corsair with the Omni 6+ in operation? Is there a significant difference in performance? I have a Corsair
One difference is that the Corsair name tag reads "Corsair" while the Corsair II's name tag says "Corsair II". They located in different places on the front panel, too. :-). A "new" Corsair is being
As I understand it, one of the major differences between the Corsair and Corsair II is the roofing filter (4-pole vs. 6-pole). Can a Corsair be retrofitted with the later filter easily or are there o
A few months ago I sold my boatanchors in order to provide some financial support to an ailing family member. I thought I'd miss the old stuff -- but I don't, well, not anywhere near as much as I tho
I have about a $2,000 audio chain ahead of my Ten Tec rig (a Pegasus). That's because my "shack" is actually a commercial audio production studio with a radio plugged into it. To tell you the truth,
Hey, listen, Ron -- I spent a stretch as a Radio Shack district manager (times were desperate!). It's amazing that I will touch ANYTHING that passes electrons. I am now very careful not to work for e
The F5U103 model marketed by Belkin has performed the best in my experience. You can buy it online directly from the manufacturer at: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=209
Here's the perfect companion for your Pegasus or Jupiter (or any other rig,with a computer interface, for that matter). This is a like-new LDG Electronics AT-200PC autotuner. Details and specs can be
Hey -- chatting about insider trading on the Ten Tec reflector isn't so far-fetched. After all, members of a Rolleiflexc photography group I belong to have been discussing their favorite pizza parlor
Hi Bob, Yup, the comment was tongue in cheek. The contact wit the RF choke advice was one of those blustery "I know quite a bit about everything" types. I did agree with him that his method would cer
As some of you know, I'm an old broadcaster who's downright anal about good audio -- especially when I run AM. My shack is, literally, an audio production studio with a Pegasus stuck on the end. Sinc
Headphones I use: Mono (for my good ole Drake TR-7): Califone 2924AV (www.califone.com). These are the cans you used in high school language lab. They're comfortable, sound good and darned near bulle
During these times of uncertain -- and often crappy -- HF propagation (try tuning around today), I think it'd be keen to get on 6 meters (where I started 40 years ago) with my Pegasus. I was going to
