Hello, Pavel -- Here is information for you: Amateur equipment: http://radio.tentec.com/Amateur Omni VII -- http://radio.tentec.com/Amateur/Transceivers/TT588 Orion II -- http://radio.tentec.com/Amat
I purchased my Centurion new at the factory during 2003 hamfest The amplifier would pop and spit from time to time but I could not ever see why. In a short time, the pops and spits stopped and the am
Actually JFK, upon the birth of JFK, Jr., became JFK, Sr. I'm guessing everyone has heard of John F Kennedy and John F Kennedy Jr. JFK Jr came along after the original JFK of course. Had their been a
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 John Its not been very long ago that we went from
Cursorily searching the archives, I find the following: http://tinyurl.com/2kq39y Mike N4NT Recently I acquired a 500 Hz cw filter from a friend who was parting with corsair 2 to a fone operator I fi
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 -- Original Message -- From: "Bob McGraw
About felt washers, normally Ten-Tec used two of them. After years of use, they get slick. The old Indian trick is to turn them so the slick sides are facing each other. This gives another 20 years o
The Triton relies upon the ALC voltage's being generated to prevent oscillation in the final amplifier. The diodes which generate this voltage sometimes go bad -- often from a lightning storm in the
Or WLW's 500 kw transmitter.... see http://www.ominous-valve.com/wlw.html Don't forget WHAM....clear channel 50k watts for many many years.... and they ran water cooled tubes....I've been there and s
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 We had one at our Radio club back in the 70's. Had the "Triton 1" Logo on the front panel. Same beige paint scheme.
I second that suggestion. Mike N4NT -- Original Message -- From: "Paul Gates, KD3JF" <pearly732003@yahoo.com> To: <gsm@mendelson.com>; "Discussion of Ten-Tec Equipment" <tentec@contesting.com> Sent:
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 am now
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 -- Origi
