Sounds to me like there is a broken connection in the tank circuit. My guess is that the part of the band switch that connects additional fixed value capacitors to the Tune and Load variable capacito

You could move the filter to another position to see if the filter or the switching to that filter slot is at fault If the Orion works like the Omni VI there may be some bandpass shift or BFO adjustm

Can you be a bit more specific? Ten-Tec made more than one model solid state amplifier. Since the power supply is so heavy I am guessing it is one of the Hercules solid state amplifiers and not of th

Marinos, Thank you for your observations on the Omni C. I do not own one myself, yet I am thinking someday I will want to buy a solid state transceiver that does not require any microprocessors to co

Plate current is not as great a concern as grid current. Excessive grid current can damage the tubes quickly. The power supply is probably not capable of supplying enough plate current to damage the

Hi Gary, It is clear that you already know a lot more about those filters than I do. So I can't help you with your decision about changing R and C for filter center frequency, bandwidth and Q. I just

Hi Wolfgang, Everything you describe suggests, exactly as you said, that it is poorly conducting relay contacts that are causing the attenuation in the receive signal path And there are only three re

Hmmm, I guess I'll have to take a look at the 9420 schematics again. Anyway to go any further we really need details from Michael about how is is using his amplifier and what it is and is not doing.

Hi Michael, How do you have the keying connected? Are you driving it with a Ten-Tec transceiver and using the full QSK keying loop? Or are you using a different method? Does the amplifier just not ge

Regarding 9 MHz Filters, Ten-Tec 9 MHz IF filters are mostly (maybe not all) NOT centered on 9 MHz. They have bandpasses of various widths covering a frequency range centered a kilohertz or so above

The exact capacitance rating is not important because when you use it, it is in parallel with the variable capacitor inside the 238. Of course it would not make much sense to use a real small capacit
