John, There is an easy way to be sure you don't move the pins while soldering the DIN connectors with soft plastic bodies. Get a matching chassis jack and plug in the connectors part way while you ar
I know this is the TenTec list, but since RF Concepts owns both companies... I'd recommend the Alpha 4510A wattmeter, it IS really accurate on 160m thru 6m, lab grade calibration :-) Glenn AE0Q -- Gl
The relay keying specifications of all Alpha amplifiers (type of T/R switching, open circuit voltage, closed circuit current) are on this web page: http://asktheham.com/node/112 Glenn AE0Q
I have to say that I was surprised to see a two pin power connector on the 565 that I got last winter. It is the same power connector that my Argo 556 and Scout 555 both use (5w and 50w radios). Kenw

My wife, Merri AB0MV, wanted to use a hand-held switch instead of VOX and was initially holding and squeezing a Heil footswitch, so I made her one using a momentary pushbutton mounted in a plastic 35
Wow... Lately, with all the antenna discussions (TenTec ???), this list has turned into a place to show who is the smartest, with a few competitions to see who can make the most inane posts about all

Randy, You can probably get the meter repaired by Larson Metercraft in Calif, we use them a lot for rebuilding the old Alpha amplifier meters. They specialize in analog meters and have many parts for

I see that the O-II has an internal ALC adjustment, do you mean it does not have external ALC input for amplifier connections? On Alpha amps we removed the ALC output about 10 years ago. The ALC volt
The note specifically states that the connection described (a diode off the TX EN loop) is only for the Alpha 87A and 89, which use PIN diode switching with almost no delay times. It wasn't intended
I think it would matter if not for the "wet-ware" CW processor between my ears. CW signals of different speeds, or slightly different tones, are easy to discriminate in my head. Glenn AE0Q -- "Rememb
