Try using the 20 or 40 meter band selection on the matchbox. Try adding a few feet of ladder line. (maybe about 20 feet) You may be able to find a length of feedline that will let you use the system
why would you want two Titans and a Herc II? Is he that worried one is gonna fail, or is there some way to use more than one? You don't have to wait three minutes to get 500 watts out of the Hercules
You can TUNE an antenna by changing the dimensions of the antenna, or changing it's proximity to ground and other conductive objects. You can MATCH a feedline to the antenna's impedance with a impeda
Scientists and engineers use words to describe reality as accurately as possible. Salesmen and politicians use words to try to make things seem more attractive than they really are. My preference is
At my station I am the tuner. I tune the VFO (PLL Encoder) knob on my Omni VI to the frequency I want to operate on. I tune the Pi-network in my Titan 425. I tune the inductor and capacitor in my 238
There has been a lot of discussion lately about various types of two wire parallel transmission line. I am a bit confused about what each person is actually talking about when using various terms suc
Along with AM, Spark and DOS, so will SSB and CW go by the wayside. Just digital and FM will probably remain. Sail boats and sailing will be gone, as well as horse back riding and horse drawn carriag
Hi Arthur, DB25 Male plugged into Omni VI.....DB9 Female plugged into serial port of PC Pin 3.................................................Pin 2 Pin 2..............................................
The intermittent character of the problem suggests bad contacts in the bayonet bases. Replacing the incandescent bulbs with LEDs would not fix this, although the lower heat produced by by LEDs versus
I have for sale a Paragon 585, with all the optional Ten-Tec (288, 285, 282) filters. It is in near perfect condition, and is being serviced by Ten-Tec to repair a memory loss problem. When Ten-Tec i
The meter lamps on my Omni VI dim noticeably when either the VOX or SPLIT LEDS are lighted. It is doubtful that this is due to a power supply lead voltage dropping from the increased load of the LEDs
Thanks Larry and Jim, Well, I'm not overly concerned about it. It doesn't have any affect on the RF/AF performance of the radio, which is what really matters to me. I just happened to notice it and t
I figure that the duty cycle of DG7 should remain the same, but maybe the height of the pulses changes a little as LEDs are turned on by the LED display driver board and the integrating meter brightn
The priority of reasons I don't want a rig that has come from a smoking environment are as follows: 1. They often have a terrible stench. 2. They often have an unattractive yellow brown color. 3. The
Hi Ed, There are probably many factors which determine the effects of smoking on a piece of electronic equipment. Some smokers have a cigarette in their hand at all times, including while they are ma
Hi Gene, Many of us buy and sell Ten-Tec gear through this reflector. When someone claims that it does not matter whether a rig comes from a smoking environment or not, it is absolutely relevant to t
I find it strange that a radio which uses DSP directly from the IF for demodulation would use RF clipping or compression, or even analog audio compression. I would have thought that this would be don
I would have thought that this would be done using DSP It's done in DSP. Glad to hear that. I wonder if people using external speech processing in stead of or in addition to the built in DSP TX proce
