I had strong broadcast interference years ago. There were both harmonics and intermodulation from several local AM stations. After a lot of head scratching, we found that my tower's guy wires were no
There have been troubles reported in the past with the Astron RS-35 due to RF energy entering the unit. I do not know if newer models have eliminated that but here's what they said ten years ago. 73
Could be you're right. But those things have been around for a long time and a lot of them left the factory unsuitable for use in an RF environment. If it applies, there it is. If not, no harm, no fo
With the negative floating, RF could enter directly into the voltage regulator IC. After receiving the email from Astron, I removed the insulators from the negative post and cleaned enough of the pai
That is good information with regard to RF, I suppose. If you examine the older Astron RS-35 diagrams, you will notice that the negative post is not connected to the chassis and that the negative pos
Once upon a time long, long ago a technician friend and I, equipped with good test gear undertook to align an Argosy II, 525. We had a bit of difficulty with the trap - 9MHz, I think it was (it could
I wouldn't worry about that, Joe. Ten meters ought be improving drastically over the next few years. 73, Mike _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com
Have you perchance considered ordering a kit of PTO rebuild parts from Ten-Tec and overhauling the poor PTO? 73, Mike N4NT _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@c
Most of us couldn't follow the thread... wouldn't know to what the reply referred. It surely doesn't take much bandwidth to pass text emails. I like it the way it is and would so vote. 73, Mike N4NT
It seems to me that folks ought to post the way they want and there need be no police or mothers telling any of us how to do it. There are different ideas. Who among us feels such a need to tell othe

Let's see... according to you everybody but me gets to voice his opinion. I advocate a laissez-faire attitude. Because that seems a philosophy alien to you, I respectfully suggest you view the second
Scott, I believe there is an internal pot which balances the RIT pot on the front panel. It sounds like it is not set correctly. Hope that's your trouble for it's an easy fix. 73, Mike N4NT _________
Scott, the offset zero adjust pot is on control board, 80978 of the Corsair II. Page 3-31, Paragraph 3 - Schematic Diagram is on Page 3-32 "The offset tuning zero adjustment is accomplished by center
I believe, sir, that you are mistaken. I trust my experiences over your opinion. But hey, why not try to discourage the fellow from trying a very simple test? Mike N4NT ______________________________
Hey, Scott. Don't bother trying my suggestion. Steve Hunt says it cannot work. _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/ma
I believe that pot serves to set the offset frequency when the front panel RIT is switched "off." But hey, ask Steve Hunt. _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@c
My digital model Argosy has a switch to turn off the display and possibly the whole counter circuitry. That switch has a set of unused contacts that can be used to switch off the meter lamp when the
My Argosy station is packed away so I cannot help you with measurements, sorry. I'm sure someone can measure for you, though. You may be able to get a government grant to install a windmill to run yo
