When I studied for my commercial telegraph license, I learned of the requirements for maintaining spare tubes. When I spent about three years in Ethiopia, that lesson was reinforced as to other parts
I replaced several in my Triton IV, Argosy, Omni-C, etc. The outside of those cases has a square, black cover that holds the speaker element. My Corsair II is lost... I hope on some closet shelf here
73, Mike N4NT Jerry, That's interesting! Similar response on half a dozen other issues, either within QST articles or the Antenna Book; I've now given up trying :) 73, Steve G3TXQ On 06/01/2011 22:46
My Omni-C puts out big-time spurs on 17 Meters. I fear Ten-Tec's assurances that the Omni-C is OK on that band may be wishful thinking in many or most cases. I'm the guy who reported spurious output
I used Dawn dish detergent (applied with an old toothbrush) to cut through the old grease. In only one PTO did I think I saw signs of wear -- the bearing race had a groove "worn" in it. Looking back
If it's a pot, it is probably the pot which balances the offset tuning control on the front panel between transmit and receive. Perhaps that is enough of a hint for you to find it. 73, Mike N4NT does

Having used several of the "older" Ten-Tec rigs, my feeling is that 98% of the time I am much happier using an audio filter in the rig than a crystal filter. The audio CW filter makes them sound like
I didn't know about Dan's but they have an audio CW filter kit: http://www.danscloseoutsandspecialdeals.com/kitcloseouts.html http://www.danssmallpartsandkits.net/ Having used several of the "older"
Hi John, I too am a CW only op. My operating is limited to ragchewing on 80 and 40 meters. I've owned and own several Ten-Tec rigs, the newest of them being a Corsair II. They include the Triton 544,
Whatever you do, avoid getting an old Murch Ultimate Transmatch UT-2000 unless you like a tuner box full of purple fire. 73, Mike N4NT This is just a short note to thank Richards K8JHR for taking the
Maybe the "A" model eliminated the purple fire. I just related my experience. Mike I have used a UT-2000A here for many years & never a problem, running a kw. I use it only for 80 mtrs when going to
In every rig I've owned there was an internal pot which balanced the offset pot on the panel between transmit and receive. The Argosy II manual shows the Control Board 80781 on page 3-25. My best gue
There was a mistake in the Argosy manual about aligning the carrier oscillator frequencies. In my 525D manual for the Argosy II on page 3-18 in the section "Carrier Oscillator Alignment" step 4.) is
I'm pretty sure those rigs have a Notch control. Those are very prone to getting dirty and shutting down the audio. Wiggling the Notch pot will cure the trouble until next time if that is what's caus
The 35 amp linear Astron supplies used a floating output so they could be used with either positive or negative ground applications. For our use, the negative post of the Astron should be grounded to
