Make sure this is really a "Gel" cell. I started calling everything that didn't need maintenance a "Gel Cell" till I realized you have SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) and AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) and they are
Well, not any charger. You wouldn't charge a 7Ahr SLA with a 10Amp Automobile charger. But as long as the Amps of the charger are in line with what is recommended for the battery you should be fine.
The trend used to be, run at low power and turn up the mic gain (with the two tone TUNE signal) until the ALC light flickers, then back it off a hair. But current trend posts in digital news groups s
Lou, Remember to check the software you intend to use with the rig. I got a Pegasus as my "digital" rig and intended to use HRD and other software with it - figured it was just a faceless Jupiter so
I vote for another column of buttons like those for CW SSB and SWL. Maybe call it Digtl for digital. Instead of a freq. range like the others, it would just take a point - like 14.070. Or....it seems
I was introduced to "multifunction with an SC-2020. I used MS Word to format a small sheet (more 5 x 6 than 3 x 5) that I could fold for "two sided" workspace. I put the menu/button combinations on i
Sounds like the problem here is when someone reads, "Open the TX full" they think that means TX at full output. When I started in PSK I ran at a lower power level (15W on an ArgoV) but as I've been a
Winston, I don't know how "alike" the Pegasus and Jupiter are, but the Pegaus had yet another surprise - Unlike the ArgoV, the Pegasus accessory DIN plug provides speaker audio out, not Line Level. T
The question was - Why is serial port used instead of USB? I could be full of old shoes but I think there are 1.5 reasons. The half a reason is when a lot of this rig control software was developed t
I was kind of burnt on the Pegasus and HRD issue too. I figured if it worked with the Jupiter and it worked with the ArgoV, then it would work with the Pegasus which I imagined would be in the middle
My vote is CWGet and CWType by DXSoft. CWType is free. It uses a signal from the serial port to trigger the on/off key action. You can make a circuit out of four or five Radio Shack parts or buy a se
Though I started with an ArgoV, a while back I picked up a Pegasus with the idea that it would become my "digital" rig and allow for a lot of experimentation. I wasn't paying much attention to the so
Wayne, Aren't you just seeing the AGC (automatic gain control) at work? Note that for simplicity, the ArgoV does not give you access to this setting. You don't have On/OFF, you don't have Fast/Slow (
Gary, What are the total amps your batteries supply? Is there any "discount" sources you know about? We have a lot of golf courses where I live. Maybe I can talk to the golf course guys and get a dea
Doc - The Paragon might be out of inventory, but it and the K2 are traded all the time in the various ham classifieds. And rig comparisons are much of the meat of newsgroups such as this. I apologize
Mark, If it is any comfort many of us feel as you do. In fact, we've even coined a phrase for when the owner of a Ten Tec rig takes out all the filters and sells them separately. If they have, the ri
Yes, a set of headphones for the xyl to enhance the sound. And get the wireless style so she can move about and not miss the dialog in the TV program - like if she has to visit the power room or get
InRad's catalog shows filters for the Paragon (Original) and Corsair II. And Ten Tec shows filters for the Corsair II that also work in the Paragon II. If the Ten Tec filters work in both, and Inrad
I've run my ArgoV on digital modes and I'm sure a fan is necessary because I am running near full power - 20 watts. I'm thinking of setting up a Pegasus as the main digital rig but my power level rel
