Rob, Something seems wrong here. Either you have bought a Ten-Tec amplifier and are now feeling stupid for having done so or you haven't bought one and are proclaiming your brilliance. Either way, we
Here's a quick test. Disconnect the antenna from the rig. Turn up the gain a bit. Now reconnect the antenna. If the noise level increases, the rig is probably fine. 73, Mike N4NT -- _________________
My Argosy II 525-D is serial 52501892 The front panel has the "Argosy II" label. On the RF Mixer Board, U2 is physically a very small black 4-legged round device with the following label: 87clk32 I c
People say that one power supply will supply 20 amps, another 22, etc. In my opinion, it doesn't matter. Amateur service is almost always very intermittent so overheating is not a problem. The compon
I used an SB220 for years with a Triton IV (until lightning struck the antenna). You need to know that the SB-220 changeover relay requires more current than the Triton can switch without eventual da
I just scanned a 7 page "manual" for the 242 along with 3 pages of "service notes" for the Triton to help them work together. If anyone needs them, I'll be happy to send the bunch. Mike N4NT ________

You will find on the schematic that the ALC voltage is generated by two diodes on or near the final board. Sometimes these fail because of a lightning discharge in the next county. Another nearby pai
The man's original question remains unanswered: Was there a Triton III ? Mike N4NT _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.co
I second that suggestion. Mike N4NT Yes, I have a suggestion.... Use a D-104 mike and forget the computer mike!! _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.
This is absolutely untrue in my experience. I have compared microphones on the Triton 544 and ALWAYS the listeners prefer the D-104. Folks who know me in person say the D-104 has the best representat
When the PTO needs rebuilding, you'll notice a warbling as you tune onto a CW signal. As it gets worse, you'll notice a warbling even once tuned in. Until then, don't sweat it. 73, Mike N4NT ________
I have two of the 580 Delta rigs with the noise blankers. I've always been impressed with how effective they work, but they work best (and maybe only) on the frying sound of line noise. I do not reca
I would think not. The Omni V, although described as "gray," appears beige to my eyes. The Delta580 and Argosy are what appears to me a chocolate brown. They may both be gray but they surely don't lo

I use a Centurion with an Omni-C. I plug my key into the amplifier and put a jumper cable from "Key Out" on the amp over to the Omni. It shouldn't matter the delay because the amp will not key the ri
True. On one of my forays into SSB I checked into a net with the phonetics "N 4 No Traffic" Later I wished I'd applied for "N 4 Good Buddy" Mike N4NT _______________________________________________ T

I wouldn't think the Bird could show a bad cable between itself and the rig. In fact, what you report is just what I'd expect if that cable is bad. Mike N4NT _________________________________________
