Now you're cookin' with gas, Smiley ! Put a Triton lV in service a few weeks ago and I must say what a fine CW machine with very fine audio also. I am loving life. 73 wb4edb smiley smileywb4@aol.com
What's your power supply? Sounds like RF feedback. This can be a tough one to figure out. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.com On 2/24/2014 5:29 PM, Scott Shepard wrote:

Hi Kevin, Your information about the Omni-C blanker was not true for mine. I have a Triton 544 and an Omni-C, each with the proper Ten-Tec blanker. The 544's blanker would quieten the loudest of line

Thinning out spares I'll never need, I find one pristine front panel for an Omni-B. It does not have the plastic Ten-Tec emblem for the white place at bottom, center-left. It never had that. Don't th

I suspect that others can advise you about grease that will survive better over time. I used Phil Woods bicycle grease once, but after several years it became a bit gummy. 73, Mike N4NT Hello, Probab

I bought a number of these speakers from Jameco several years ago and installed several in Ten-Tec rigs. They fit perfectly and are stouter speakers than the original. You can tell by the magnet stru
Sorry. After getting out my magnifier I see that the speaker number I used was the 99995 AND NOT THE 99996. I cannot vouch for the 99996. Sorry for the confusion. 73, Mike N4NT I bought a number of t
OK. Here's the skinny on the Jameco speakers, straight from a Jameco rep's mouth. The model 99995 which I purchased six of back in 2003 has been replaced by the Jameco model 99996. The only differenc

Suggest you look in your supply at the speaker and take its measurements. Then I'd go to that Jameco site and find one that fits. You can go other places, perhaps but I do know the quality of the spe
Roger, I replaced my 4-pole SSB filter with the Ten-Tec model 220, 8-pole SSB filter. Of all the things I ever did to that rig, replacing that filter was the very best investment I made. It made the
If the IF's center frequency is 9.0 MHz and your filter was centered at 9.0 MHz, then you would hear the bottom half of the audio from both sidebands at the same time, I'd think. If you wanted to wor
But on reflection, with an SSB signal, you'd just hear one or the other sidebands but only the bottom 1.2 kHz of the audio spectrum would fall within the 2.4 kHz filter centered on 9.0 MHz. With CW,
