I had a similar problem with a 544 Triton. The trouble was the diodes used to develop ALC voltage were bad. This allowed the PA to oscillate when the drive control was advanced beyond a point. 73, Mi
I'm new to this Centurion thing and have a couple of questions: My loading control does not seem to have much effect on 80 meters. I believe the amplifier acts as if it does not have sufficient load
I am running the amp on 230 VAC. I would think my antenna impedance is close to 50 ohms as I am using a Drake MN-2000 tuner and adjusting my W5GI mystery antenna for almost no reflected power. Based
Many thanks to all those who took the time to respond to my inquiries about my Centurion. I spoke with John Maples at Ten-Tec Service this morning and he wants to look at the thing -- says it doesn't
If one has a problem with the way his Orion works, then here are my suggestions: 1. a. Describe the difficulty as precisely as possible. b. What were you doing when it occurred? c. Is it repeatable?

Hi, Rick-- Replacing that filter as you plan is the very best upgrade one can do to the Argosy. Even for CW, the 220 filter was a huge improvement for my Argosy and made it sound like "a real Ten-Tec

Your semi-annual Astron tip... People come and go from this reflector. This is a reminder that many troubles with Astron power supplies can be cured by grounding the negative post to the cabinet. I d
Better men than we have gone quite mad searching for a solution to your problem. One thing I tried was making sure that the microphone's ground never came in contact with the power supply's cabinetry
None of the black Omni rigs (A, D, B or C) will operate 18 MHz satisfactorily because on that band the rig transmits spurs -- one or more of them is often a watt or higher in power. 73, Mike N4NT The
A number of years ago I was in Sevierville at the Ten-Tec factory in the "museum room." Al Kahn was there. I had gotten a used Hercules 444 amplifier to use with my Omni-C. The 444 will automatically
The Ten-Tec supplies 252 and 262 did not incorporate a "crowbar" circuit to protect the rig from a fault which would supply too great a voltage to the rig. This can happen if the pass transistor shor
I've never heard a Jupiter but owned a Yaesu FT-757GX years ago when they were new. That rig had a hashy sound to CW signals. A signal could never override the noise. The stronger a signal, the stron
When I turn down the RF gain on my Corsair II (if memory serves), the noise almost vanishes. I get further reduction of hiss using the Autek QF-1A you got for me at Dayton, Steve, thanks again. Mike
There's a trick to getting the PTO out of the Omni-D. Here's what Ten-Tec advises: -- PTO REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT FOR OMNI MODELS 545 AND 546. 1- Remove top, bottom and front panel as per pages 3-1 a
