I am trying to get up to speed (pun intended) on CW operation. I'm tone deaf and am just able to zero beat the CW spot tone to the recevied signal. I have used a computer soundcard / waterfall progra
40m propagation isn't what it used to be and we've not had much luck with our current time of 2300Z (1800 ET). I'd like to try changing the time to 2000Z (1500 ET). That gives us 90 minutes before th
The TenTec SDR net will officially move to a new time of 2000z (3:00pm EST) starting 1/1/06. We will remain on 7.253 MHz. Toby, W4CAK, and I had a nice chat at 3:00pm along with another station in th
I saw one reply that mentioned an Omni V. The Omni V is a great rig for everything except the digital modes where it isn't stable enough until it has warmed up for about an hour. One one test, I meas
for Digital Modes and rig control. I have a Laptop with one serial port, a RigBlaster Pro ( jumpers wired as per Rigblaster # 9 -RXD & TXD schematic) and use MixW, and have downloaded Pegasus.I have
I'm using using a homebrew encoder and PC with a homebrew Y cable to to my Omni VI. As I recall, even though the Omni VI uses a DB25 connector, the pins are not standard RS232 wiring. There are separ
I do the same thing, except that I bought the fan new ($3). The only problem is that the fan is designed for 12V and my shack supply is more like 13.8 V. The fan sounds like a jet engine at that volt
I have a Pegasus and had a FlexRadio for a while. I sold the FlexRadio before they came out with the linear amp, so it was basically a receiver. The Pegasus is really a complete radio that just uses
I have a Pegasus, which is pretty much the same receiver as the Jupiter. I don't think it would make a particularly good CW contest rig for two main reasons: 1) the narrowest filter is labelled 300 H
I have done (and it works well) using the open source DReaM software (which I couldn't find in binary form the last time I looked on the web). I think there may be licensing issues for the binaries.
Ralph, I've had a Pegasus since 2000. It's a good rig in it's price range. It's not what the early TenTec ads claimed of a $3000 radio for $800. At the price you quoted, it does sound like a good dea
It's not that difficult to get teh 14 kHz IF out of at least the sub-receiver. I built up a Y cable that I plugged in between the 14 kHz IF and the SPARE jack on the back. I think the same could be
The dinner will be held at Frisch's Big Boy at 2518 Needmore Dr.(just west of the I-75 exit) starting at 6:30pm or so (Hamvention closes at 6:00 on Friday). This is nothing big, we'll just meet at th
Are any of the reflector readers coming to the Dayton Hamvention(r) next month? Is anyone interested in having a dinner get together? Let me know, and I'll arrange a restaurant. I'm thinking Friday n
I knew there would be conflicts. AM is tough for me as I travel from home each day (about an hour), so I would have to leave pretty early to have time for breakfast before hamvention starts at 8, but
I don't know if it's too late to reserve a forum time / room. If we want a TenTec forum, we should probably start planning for 2006. What goes on at the Drake forum? Are there formal presentations or
Did anyone monitor some type of strange signal around 3.530 (or maybe 3.540) on Wednesday evening (didn't get on to check last night)? It was about 8 kHz wide and didn't sound like any of the digital
