IMHO this subject is not "off." I'd guess that if we all "hang in there" until we can't tap a key or hang onto a MIC, then we are all going to need some assistance with this delicate work. My favorit
The casting rod is the way to go - 2-3OZ weight, nice nylon line, and then haul up a heavier cord. The nylon slides through the branches better than cord. BTW, if you miss the exact place that you wa
Good afternoon everyone who has been feeding me solid possible fixes. No solution yet. This AM I decided to focus on the inside of the AMP instead of outside fixes. So it is on the bench, opened up,
Ok, Bill, I bought my rig new in the 1990s in spite of the crummy review in QST because I read and believed TenTec's write up and in spite of the idea that the imported rigs had great features at les
Good afternoon, The problem seems to have been the input filter, exactly why I have not figured out. I pulled that filter and put a jumper in its place and "bingo" no SWR on 40 (or the other bands) a
Good morning all, Recall that my problem was that on 40 meters there was a 3:1 SWR between the exciter and the AMP. I figured that it was the input filter and pulled it - end of problem. I received a
Good morning all, I have been following the "Thread" for days with great interest. My rig is a Delta II, a short run rig that was "bad mouthed" by QST, but a pleasure to use. Aside from its ability t
Darrell, Geoffrey is correct on the CW. For that age the rig better be a simple dial arrangement with band switch for interest in hearing what is on thair. Too often on more "sophisticated" (Let's ca
Good afternoon Fotis, Please tell us where the new T T website is. That is, please send the www. address or URL. 73, Kris KM2KM Merschrod 123 Warren Road Ithaca, NY 14850 www.merschrod.net -- Origina
TT should be posting its all mode qualities - the digital area requires clean stability and is, in many cases, narrow. So filtering quality is important there too. "No matter the mode - Ten-Tec rigs
Wow, now that Joe (K0BX) has managed to slid in edgewise by taking advantage of the great TT QSK while the discussion group was in CW mode!!!! Here is the issue that I have. On 40 meters, into a reso
Rick, Thank you - I'LL ANSWER THE QUESTIONS IN CAPS. Kris KM2KM Need more info: 1. Have you tried it on a dummy load? If so, was it OK, or also 375w on 40m? YES, SAME PROBLEM 2. Did this suddenly occ
Thank you Joe, I just put in a 25 foot length - same proble with a little less SWR (2:1) and a tad more power out (400 Watts). I have been using about 8" b/c the rig and amp are right next to each ot

Thank you Jerry and also Gary for the copy of the manual. Looking at the boards in the manual it seems straight forward to find the board. Finding the "problem" unless there is a nicely burned out gi
Good evening, I am still fiddling and pondering the observations on this problem. Gary's observation means that no matter the band the input impedance is the same except for the "intervention" of the

I should have asked. Does anyone have this exact problem on their 411 with a TT solidstate exciter? If not, then I have a problem that is unique and not "standard." Kris KM2KM Merschrod 123 Warren Ro
Good evening Mike and Duane, I have tried two different alternatives to the short coax 1) 3 foot #213, and 2) 25 feet or so of RG 58, and not a bit of change in the SWR. I havbe not tried the whittli
