Rick, please, just let it go ... OK. I AM ALSO speaking of RFI and EMI and you have no idea what I did, or know, or have experienced, or who I worked with for 15 years in the business... and you are
Too much speculation. Of course TT's owners are in it for the money, which is OK - it is supposed to work that way. I hope they make a killing for their efforts. Of course we are merely customers; an
Could you try a friend's radio and see if it helps. I occasionally get to Farmington Hills, for business and/or pleasure, and could stop in and maybe try my Omni VII ... not sure when... but we could
I was told by a retired NASA radio engineer to avoid daisy-chaining the equipment and then running a single run to ground. He says it is better to run separate ground lines from each chassis to a sin
I saw the Rebel and Patriot at Dayton and they look good. I can email product sheets to anyone who needs one, as I have been sending them to local ham interested in Arduino based QRP. I did not get t
I'll tell you, there's just no justice, no justice in the world. _______________________________________________ Now you know how Rodney Dangerfield felt all those years... "no respect at all." ;-)
Here is MY Dayton experience... The two display booths were situated fairly close to each other. The Alpha display had a TenTec radio sitting by each Alpha amplifier and they were all turned on using
Does this statement make sense? " XXXXXX brand amp for sale. It is wired for 220, but I only have 208 volts, so the amp has never seen full power." Thanks. -- K8JHR --
MY WIFE SUGGESTED I BUY THE ORION II. MAYBE YOUR XYL NEEDS TO CALL MINE ? ;-) We were talking about what was available, and what could do what. We were reviewing my product matrix, and comparing feat
Are we a dis-proportionate group? yes, I think so. Following the bankruptcy trends, and the larger economy, I doubt a lot of family age hams will be buying the expensive stuff. We are living in the
Your comments fit with my take... after attending the Homeland Security Forum at Dayton last week. The government workers are getting ham licenses. They think that gives them training as radio operat
As far as an 80m dipole being directional on the upper bands, if you have your resonant 10,15,20m dipole up high it will also be directional broadside. So what is the difference? Maybe just not the
You can source enclosures from China for about 1/10 of the price in the US or Europe. -- Bite your tongue !! TT CAN source cabinets from other US companies, like Hammond Manufacturing which make the
OH nnnooooooo ! Still, that is better than the alternative... Oh shoot. Now I gotta shop around all over again. [My road to heck is well paved with all my good intentions. Thanks for correcting me. ]
YES! And... if the fountain pen business is any clue, they have few or no scruples about patent infringement. I have a bunch of high quality Parker pens, and a number of $5 Chinese knock offs that ha
Speaking of TT making stuff... making dipoles this weekend... I hope they still produce the TenTec Acrobat antenna center insulator. I like these for quick and easy dipole construction using either w
I believe John Henry said at Dayton TT would not be making its own boxes any more. -- JHR -- There are a couple of possibilities here. __________________________________________
N4PY has a link on his web site to a really good one that is easy to use. You must email the author of the program and give him your call sign and he will allow hams to use it free. Works well, easy
