Jim, The Ameritron RCS-4 handles the legal limit, feeds power through the coaxial cable and provides control of four antennas, all for about $125. I've used them for years and, except for a lightning
I have for sale a nice, clean Paragon with the matching 960 power supply. The only non-functional thing on the transceiver is the optional RS-232 board. Included are 1.8 KHz, 500 Hz and 250 Hz filter
Actually, Dar es Salaam. Been there, done that, have numerous T-shirts. So, whaddya think of the announcement of the Orion II? Dave Heil K8MN _______________________________________________ TenTec ma
It took a little digging, but I found it. The software if lumped with two WinRadio versions and it is the third version shown on the page. Look at: http://www.winradio.com/home/download-drm-2.htm Dav
Another method used by the old-timers including R.O.S. Akre W4ZZZ (SK) in Miami was to use a non-conducting disc on the mast below the yagi. The disc has two concentric ring of brass or copper on the

Dan, Don't give up yet! Oil-based flat or semi-gloss paint is gloss paint with a flattening agent added. How much you add and mix into the paint determines how much less shiny the finish is. Ask your
I recently auctioned one at $800 with matching power supply, all filters, FM board, non-working RS-232 board and original manual. Dave Heil K8MN _______________________________________________ TenTec
I'm with you. All of Icom's powerful signal processors have not resulted in a receiver which can match the Orion. I'm working 160m and 80m DX I'd have never worked with my Omni VI Option 3, which I'd
I beg to disagree. You can spend much less and get much more. The Force 12 antennas, the Bencher Skyhawk and, to a lesser extent, the Cushcraft X-9 and X-7 should beat the pants off it. The "why" is
Bingo! Lots of folks were making about $120 per week, gross pay in 1961-63. A Hallicrafters HT-32B was $795 and a Hammarlund HQ-170 was $379. The pair cost nearly $1200--roughly ten weeks pay. I didn
I'm not sure that I'm following you. An SB-200 is a 1KW input amp with a pair of 572-B's. The Ameritron 811 series comes with either a pair or three 811A's. Surely the version with three 811A's puts
Your claim is historical revisionism at best. Dave K8MN _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
It has always been one of the things which defines amateur radio. Maybe it is and maybe it isn't. I'm afraid that I can't accept your view just because you say so. Perhaps. The use of Morse Code is a
Some of the misinformation on this topic comes straight from Paul at Ten-Tec. After I had lightning damage and discussed the matter with a local ham who is an electric company employee, I broached th
I'm sorry, fellas. I just see 20 Hz of long term drift as a problem at HF. Dave K8MN _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.
If the drift takes hours, why does that present a problem. When is the last time that you had a PSK31 QSO which lasted for hours? Dave K8MN _______________________________________________ TenTec mail
Gents, There's an outfit in Canvas, West Virginia (near Summersville) which sells affordable conversion kits for gasoline-powered generators. I bought one which converts my Craftsman/Generac unit to
Gents, It is just a feeling that I have, but you seem to be talking about an object which was bought and paid for by another. We aren't speaking of an ancient objet d'art. A radio transceiver produce
