If you really want to have some fun with that thing, Listen to the carrier of the first oscillator at 70mhz. This is where the trouble usually begins. The area around that part of the circuit board i
Get a car battery and run your rig on it. Be sure the rig is connected to your antenna as usual. Then turn off the power to your entire house via the main breaker or pull the meter. If the noise goes
The dry pto grease can cause that problem but if you don't think that's it, your going to have to use either a frequency counter or another receiver to monitor each of the 3 oscillators to find out w
I have to agree. All this talk about how great the service is makes me think they break a lot. I have only shipped one TenTec in for service, a Pegasus. They couldn't fix it so they gave me a refund
Hey. Just because he likes it doesn't mean it's better. It just sounds like a personal preference thing to me. Personally, I didn't like the 2 Corsair II's I've had. They had too much hiss and tended
I must agree with Tom. Those DSP-only reveivers tend to emphasize key clicks for some reason. This has been mentioned in QST reviews of at least one radio. Steve Ellington N4LQ. -- Original Message -
I've had several DSP receivers...Fist the Pegasus then TS-870 and TS-2000. I believe QST mentioned key clicks in the receiver of the IC-756pro. Their comment was something like....We noticed key clic
I have QSOed K8-- twice who runs an SGC 2020. It has a strong spur 630hz down from the carrier. I could tune down and copy his spur S9. I've tried twice to get this across to him but it falls on deaf
What is a 579? All I ever hear is 599. Also, better add 579p for pish pa. And 579tn for "TenTecs never do it". Steve Ellington N4LQ. -- Original Message -- From: "Mike Hyder -N4NT-" <N4NT@charter.net
Ok...Try setting up a sked with someone on PSK31 on a certain frequency. Have you ever looked at PSK on 20m? If your filter if opened up to a wide, 500hz, you may see about 5 signals on your waterfal
1. My TS-930 was designed in 1987 or so and it's readout is far more accurate than any Omni. 2. Design technology (as far as frequency accuracy) was quiet adequate in 1987. TenTec chose to continue m
I've found this thread to be enlightening. Over the years we have seen huge improvements in dial accuracy with and TenTec has been no exception. From their PowerMite series with virtually no accuracy
Whether TenTec should or should not include a mic with a Jupiter is a marketing choice made by them. Would it help sell Jupiters? I doubt it. TenTec rigs used to come with cheap microphones and I do
Interesting! All of the Hallicrafters CBs included mics. Maybe they started it. I'm not sure which rig TenTec first included a mic. no which import. I think the Omni series came with a mic but I can'
