Maybe I missed it, but the IC7300 lacks at least some roofing filters and a full size second receiver like the RS366. What a blessing it is to be able to operate on two frequencies on a busy band or
Hi Rick. The IC7300 may be a fine rig, but its lack of serious front end selectivity and two receivers makes it operationally second class, however cheap. 73 Gunner/OZ6NF ____________________________
Agree, Rick. My O2 is actually a SDR rig with a front end with roofing filtering (IF-SDR). That front end selectivity and its dual rxs sure makes it expensive, but also in a class not obtainable (now
Hi, I seek an understanding of the difference in counts for the default settings of the S-meter. Im rather new in this forum, maybe it has been explained long ago. If so I would like a reference. Nor
Jim, It should be easy to find a substitute relay. On www. reichelt.de <http://reichelt.de/> ask for their (inch thick) catalogue, on pp 904-905 are shown numerous subminiature relays, all < 2 $. Whe
Rick, You can have any lubricant or cleaner you need/want from www.reichelt.de. PP483-487 in their catalog (free) list them. Rather cheap. Gunner -- Gunner Juul-Nyholm OZ6NF-5P5S Maglegårds Allé 93 B
Warning. My O2 has been a little unstable lately. and today I decided to change the 470 µF capacitors on the A9 board. The old ones were not entirely flat on the top, so ?? They were somewhat difficu
In Europe no commercial gear was available until the late 60s, when we could begin to afford the $. Not enough surplus gear either, so most of us had to build your own. I began in 1953 with a 0-V-1 (

Hi Jim. After 15 years of CW usage the K1 antenna relay had to be changed in my Centurion 422. I agree that the Gigavac relay is super, but if you are looking for a direct and cheap replacement, you
Dear Mike, We may not be very visible, but I know at least 10 Danish OZ hams, which value their T-T equipment as the trend setter during many years. We all follow your effort to keep T-T alive and lo
I have used my trusty OMNI VI+ (and a 238 tuner and 422 Centurion) 1999-2014, and my O2 with RX366 and AT since then. My license is now 60 years old, so I need no new radio. However, when thinking of
Mike, I fully understand that you must prioritise your production to maintain a cash flow, and therefore cannot provide resources to maintain a constant and quick mail service. I sent a mail to servi
The red plastic pointer in the 238 can easily be replaced by a piece of small piece of normal installation wire. I choosed one with a red insulation. Fold the wire to combine the string and the elast
Rick, Agree, the SKY-SDR is really surprising. I use mine more than 90% of the time, 8w out. My ORION II is getting dusty.. Suggestion: Make the VFO knob to facilitate cw speed adjustment by pressing
The antenna tuner battery is actually a C2025, but a CR2032 has the same dimensions and fit in. 73 Gunner/OZ6NF. Gunner Juul-Nyholm Maglegårds Allé 93 B OZ6NF 2860 Søborg Danmark Mobil: +45 4013 0044
I have had my ORION II for 3 years and use it a couple of hours daily, mostly but not exclusively on CW. I love it, but I fear that it may break down, and not all parts are available anymore. So in o
Agree, the minimum OSK delay is 100 ms which amounts to app. three dots or a dash at 40wpm. OK with me!! Very few hams will complain about it? Gunner Juul-Nyholm Maglegårds Allé 93 B OZ6NF 2860 Søbor
