I also have many of the older user manuals in PDF format, having scanned them for Scott at TT a few years back, and if anyone would like a set on a CD I think I could accommodate that easily. You can
Good story about a good day, Jack. And there is not even a hint of exaggeration in your story. Just the facts, ma'am. ;-) -- K8JHR -- On 4/6/2013 10:10 PM, Jack Emerson wrote: Hey de Jack W4TJE in Fa

I agree with the personal assessment that TT does not really want to work on Omni VIs any more and that really leads me to question TT's direction and core values. Well... er... um... I have lower ex
Greetings TenTec Mavens - I recently built the TenTec Model 1254 Receiver Kit. It passed all diagnostic progress tests, but failed to perform to expectations upon final assembly in the all metal case
Greetings Ten-Tec Mavens: I was pleased to see a photo of a Boy Scout using a Ten Tec Argonaut on Page 9 of the West Mountain Radio newsletter. Ah... such a beautiful sight. No big deal, but it made
Well... shoot, Ron... It is obvious they went wrong form the outset... Who would use an Icom rig if there was a TenTec available ? ? ? You must be making this up. . . -- K8JHR -- -- On 4/16/2013 1:41
One of the best shack photos I have ever seen. W1BEK is the "featured ham" on QRZ.com and I was first impressed by the elegant simplicity and balance of his equipment layout, including a pair of stac

Greetings TT Mavens. Background - I rarely work 17 meters SSB with my Omni VII. Today, I reworked my 10 meter vertical ground plane antenna into a 17 meter ground plane which measures about 1.3:1 SWR
Measured how? By the rig, or by the amp? The SWR indicator in the RIG will measure the match between the rig and the amp. The SWR indicator in the AMP will measure the match between the rig and the
I meant to say that the SWR indicator in the AMP will measure the match between the AMP and the feedline (or between the amp and the antenna tuner, if the tuner is in the circuit). _________________
Right. It is. The auto tuner mentioned is the Palstar AT-AUTO -- but I have it bypassed as the antenna is a resonant ground plane. ' The input impedance changes with drive, so I've been told. Therefo
Yes... you guys are both on track, and reinforce my observation that SWR is never the whole story. I discovered very few articles attempting to explain the big picture about antenna measurements. The
Once again, you say what I am driving at better than I can. I suspect most hams want an easy, quick solution they can wrap their heads around. Impedance, reactance, inductance, capacitance, SWR, retu
Network analysers offer the option to do just that. So far, after upgrading from an MFJ to a Palstar to my current RIG-Expert antenna analyser, I am pretty happy. My AA-54 is sweeping the pre-define
Ask you local Elmer to explain what he meant when he said the analyzer doesn't really tell us impedance. Perhaps there is a word missing in that sentence. and mathematically calculate the true impeda
