Greetings: TT seems to be positioning the new Argonaut in the face of the K2. I for one will be very interested in direct comparisons and hard engineering analysis of the two radios. Larry VA3LK
Gosh, is that the best differentiator you can come up with? You will have to do better than that I am affraid. Besides I know where you can buy a K2 all built up for you..... Larry VA3LK
The k2 does not? are these high value options or byproducts for not much in DSP? how popular is this? I hear k2's doing digital modes all the time I have not seen a significant differentiator yet, I
Greetings All. IF and it is an IF the RS-232 is fully implemented, at least + and - 12V on transmit and a full receiver, ie 1488/1489 pair, then it is very surprising how far one can go with RS-232.
The ongoing discussion about Orion is interesting but is this discussion addressing the real issues for Ten Tec? Lets ask just four questions now and then later review to see the path that Ten Tec ch
Gentlemen: Let us please remember that the Scout that Jack, W4SON/2/M was using in the Scout prototype days (and the one that Jack Burchill was using mobile at the same time) for the Scout had NO fre
Re Scout W5YR offers..... "So, taking the keying task away from the cpu by using an external keyer allows the cpu enough time to deal adequately with drift control." Wrong answer. The CPU has enough
Steve: The prototype did not jump and neither did the other Jack's jump either. The telling comment here is that Jack went to a 706 and not another Scout...... Larry VA3LK
because the Scout VFO is still shifting frequency from key up to key down and the time in key up is inadequate to get the count done. The cpu could easily do the count, the issue is that the VFO Time
Steve: I was speaking of the Scouts during the prototype evaluation period, this was before the production runs and the problem became seriously rampant. They were probably hand made and tweaked - wh
Mark: Yes the tone is really there and there are in fact more than one tone in the Pegasus and Jupiter audio but under the noise. You are not alone. I noticed this tone with my Pegasus, checked some
I hope TT takes a little extra time and gets it right this time. For those of use who consider the Scout and the Pegasus/Jupiter to be just a little "to marginal" in the engineering sense, I hope the
Duffy: I am happy that your glad with the radio. Great. I am not happy with the radios I mentioned and I want better performance for the $$. I am of course very happy with my Corsair II and Centurian
Paul: And they are exactly the same problem the digital VFO does not get back in time, thus a chirp, and the time it takes to get back is the delay that sets the top speed for sending. Larry VA3LK
Greetings: I have had my Centurian for about 5 years now, works good and is consistent. I did manage to have the HV power transformer fail, after thinking about it and doing some tests I suspect it w
Jim: Well get set for one very nasty feature of the AEA MM-3 Morse Machine. I tried back in 1991 to get AEA to upgrade the firmware in this keyer but they in the end made promises and then just lied
and automatically. This is what I have over the years come to call the "Kenwood TS-440" model of internal antenna tuner operation. If your hard of hearing or 10 miles away from the radio, you have a
Jim: This MFJ Keyer has a wonderful characteristic that you will come to know and love when you are trying to use it from an RS-232 port. If you send more than one character to this keyer without any
Greetings: Does anyone know if the new little TT HF rig uses the same DSP engine as the Pegsus and Jupiter? If it does use the same DSP engine is it reasonable to expect that the new rig will have th
Jerry: Pegasus and Jupiter have serious problems with receive mushy receive sound, poor quality transmit CW note, and for my work here the transmit side tone is sitting in the middle of the receive a
