Roger, I'm on that list too. I really need that unit. The more I operate with the 221 filter, the less I like high tones. Come on guys, get your orders in. 73, Ron KK9K 73, -=Rog-K9RB=-
Thanks Roger, You should work as a technical journal editor. I even understood what you had to say. 73, Ron KK9K The 6.3 MHz. IF filters are adjusted to the peak desired frequency with the Pass Band
TT'ers, I have some ugly new noise at the QTH. Starts out low and quickly builds to S 5-6 (RF gain up, 500 hz filter) for 10-20 seconds, and then abruptly stops. It seems to cycle about once a minute
TT'ers, Thanks for the help. After scouting the neighborhood for an hour or so, I found an old yard light cycling on and off, in perfect tune with my QRN, at my next door neighbors. That's a relief.
TT'ers, I cooked a tube or tubes in my Centaur while tuning up. Any suggestions on the best place to get replacements, and the best replacements to get? For the price I suppose it makes sense to get
Any volunteers in Wisconsin? I had an Orion on order before they started shipping and got cold feet over the complexity and the software bug issues. I would really like to see what I am missing. Ron
Jim, My 160 array at the new QTH is two inverted L's with about 55' vertical spaced 1/4 wave and fed with the 90 degree ports of a Comtek 4 square controller for a switchable cardioid pattern. On-air
Ronnie, I thought I had a bunch of articles on speed improvement saved in the 'puter, but can't find them. Do a Google for "improve cw speed" and you get 73,100 hits - hi. There must be something the
Dave, I saved this email because I want to know about your mod. Is it published anywhere? If not, can you send me the documentation? It looks like I didn't win my own Stew Perry plaque again this yea
TT'ers, My own experience is with a single vertical 40 M loop fed 1/4 wave down from the apex and built over the radial field of my 160M 4-square which was built on a swamp. Pretty near ideal conditi
TT'ers, I blew something in my 238 while CQ'ing on 10 with high power. Antenna was my F12 C3 low in the band where it is over 2:1, but not much over. Didn't smell any smoke. It still works, but doesn
When I was a kid I drove an L4B with a FT 101 at 1500 out thru a 250W Matchbox to a 80M inverted vee fed with 450 ohm ladder line on 80-10. You could fry eggs on the tuner after a while, but it never
Dave, Its mine if you still have it. Let me know and I'll send a MO today or tomorrow. Ron - WA9IRV 250 Hz 6 pole filter centered on 500 Hz tone offset. $90, shipping to the lower 48 included in pric
Hey guys, Take it easy on the service department. Nothing is tougher than finding and fixing intermittants. The darn things just never act up on the bench, so the techs take their best shot, let it c
Rich, I tried to reply off-reflector but your email address on QRZ bounces. I am an EFJ dealer and if you can send me a pic or model number I will try to ID the PS and will send you a copy of a manua
Hey Guys, I own a radio service shop (land mobile). You can't staff for the heaviest demand periods, which is probably right now for TenTec and other ham shops. You staff for your average load and th
Gentlemen, I am trying to get my SO2R set up ready for tomorrow and have one last glitch to overcome. My DXD does not switch the audio to the non-TX radio in PTT mode. My software is TR. I have RELAY
Pete and the rest, Thanks to Pete for pointing out the obvious. I hadn't connected my linear control relays to the PTT inputs on the DXD. I think finally everything is working. 73, Ron - WA9IRV
