Had the gear here a few weeks now, and have just noticed the little red/orange dot in the center of the TT logo is BLACK on both my Pegasus and RX-340!! That dot has been a shade of red or orange eve
As always, tune up your antenna "system", that is, including the feed line and the tuner, using, for example, an MFJ-259. This unit puts out milliwatts, and can quickly establish the correct impedan
Hi all, Just another note of praise for Paul Clinton and the others in the Ten Tec Sevierville group. I have been bothered with intermittent power output failures from my Corsair II for a couple of y

Earlier, I wrote, in part: Well, maybe the filters in the Pegasus are 12 kHz wide, as that is the 3rd and final IF center frequency within the Peg. So the DSP processor is fed digital info via a 12 k
Pete suggested: The Orion's target price, per Scott is about $3300. Should get more than just the added synchronous AM detection added to the RX-350, plus the 8 kHz added IF bandwidth selection of th
Duane has suggested: The RX-340 manual lists manufacturer's part numbers for the D/A and A/D converters, surface mount IC's, but not a manufacturer's name. Part numbers are: A/D on boaard 81790, AD78
