I tried my Argosy 525 on MFSK tonight, and had to turn switch rigs because of the PTO drift. Is there a known problem with PTO drift on this rig? If there is, what's the fix? Thanks, ed - k9ew
Hi Bob, I get about +/- 20Hz drift after a half hour of warm up from a cold start. I think I'll try the PTO rebuild first before modifying the circuit. Still have to talk with TenTec to see what they
Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for an Argosy 525. I'm the proud new caretaker of a really cool radio from the 80's. And once again I want to express my gratitude for these TenTec list
I've noticed for some time that some of the switches on my TenTec gear seem to be, well, mushy. The Mode Switch and the Band Switch are especially prone to this. It turns out it's the knob, not the s
I'm the new caretaker of a Corsair II, and I need a Model 1140 (or equivalent) Circuit Breaker. If anyone has one they want to sell, please contact me off-list. Tnx es 73, ed - k9ew
Hi Curt, I'm interested in the Corsair II, but I'm looking for something low-cost. I'm retired, and I'm still trying to get used to this this fixed-income thing . What are you asking for the Corsair
Hi Allan, I'd like that Corsair II and the 500Hz filter if you still have them. Let me know how to pay you, and I'll do it right away. Tnx es 73, ed - k9ew
I apologize for not checking the address before sending my reply. My response was intended for Allan, not the entire List. Is there a Q-signal for "ooops"? 73, ed - k9ew
I have an extra safety belt for climbing towers. It's used, but in very good condition. It has a nice wide leather back support, two large rings for lanyard clips, and will fit waist sizes 41 - 43. T
Hi Dale, I don't have a Corsair II, but was also thinking about getting one. If you get multiple offers, would you pass along your "rejects" to me? Thanks - ed, k9ew.
Hi Rich, I just did some calculations using the data I found for the MV2201 in an old Motorola Semiconductor Data Book I have on the shelf. It looks like the easiest way to increase your Offset Tunin
Hi Allan, I didn't realize the cost was $175; I thought it would be around $100. $175 is more than I paid for my Argonaut, so it doesn't make sense to spend that much on a filter. I apologize for not
Hi Jerry, I'll take that filter if you still have it. Some day I want to try installing it in my Argonaut 509. I can pay by PayPal if you'll give me your PayPal ID. Tnx es 73, ed - k9ew -- Original M
Rick - I *think* all the PTO rebuild kits must be the same, but the instructions for removing them from the radio may be a little different. I recommend giving Ten-Tec a call; they can tell you for c
