Larsen and I were good friends before his untimely demise. We used to hunt spamalope together. He had a sharp mind but was the victim of many skeptics concerning his technical expertise. Now, many ar
Did you happen to notice how you can also tune the radio by moving the speaker up and down? I removed my speaker and use an external MFJ ClearTone. That huge magnet directly over the vfo coil really
Keep on topic please. Ten Tec. Not antennas and code. There are other list for this stuff. Steve Ellington N4LQ. -- Original Message -- From: "dave dabay" <kd3pc@mindspring.com> To: "Wm Marvin" <wmar
Yes it's probably normal due to the extra sensitivity of your headphones. MFJ sells a set of headphones with built in tone controls which will add some attenuation to the hiss but the strong signals
Speaking of CW monitoring....One of the best is the TT 13x0 series QRP rig which actually plays the beat note through the audio system instead of a normal sidetone. The FT-1000MP has a similar system
I believe the original intention was to bring attention to accuracy. Nowadays this is commonplace and seldom used. Steve Ellington N4LQ. -- Original Message -- From: "Mark Erbaugh" <mark@microenh.com
The saving grace here is that all manufactures have the same opportunity to bet bashed. I think the Eham forum is a great means of passing along one's "feelings" but seldom do we see any technical da
Maybe I'm missing something but that one went right over my head. What is the difference in direct sales vs. going through a distributor when it comes to reviews, good, bad or otherwise? --Original M
Tim: Just curious. To what do you attribute the deafness of the IC-706 compared to the 509? We all know that the 706 will beat the Argo on the test bench so what makes it so hot? Is it the lack of no
Gerald: Just curious about the filter delay comment. I always thought the delay was in the audio/agc circuit which caused it not to respond as fast as it should. Also can you comment on why you think
Allan: I have a Herc II here with the matching power supply. The supply has a sensor across the output which detects when you kick the power switch of your Herc to the on position. As I recall, there
Tell me how an external keyer stops the Scout from Jumping frequency? I thought the manual said that when operating higher speed cw that you were supposed to stop, pause and give it a chance to recov
Finally, a decent price for used TT gear! Too bad I don't need any more of it. I just returned from a local hamfest and some guy was trying to sell a Triton IV digital for $450 and an Omni D for $350
I've looked at those beautiful HRO's for decades and never could bring myself to buying a rx with those plug in coil sets. They sure were pretty though! Has anyone ever designed a nice looking cabine
Well I'de rather have the drift than the jump any day. Wonder why this paticular PTO was subject to so much drift or "fade" as you called it while the old Triton IV just required a occasional correct
Larry. Are you saying that Jack W4SON's Scout didn't jump or he at one time had a prototype that didn't jump? I remember his Scout as a real jumper. It finally went up in flames along with his amplif
