On the signal you received was the modulation normal sounding or distorted in some way? Mike N4NT Tom, Ineresting idea of two AM broadcast stations producing the signal at 260 KHz, but as I did not h
I wouldn't think the trouble was within the Orion but I'm sure it is possible. My suggestion is that you run an A-B test with another rig and see if you get the same mix on 3580 kHz. That would sorta
Sounds to me like your mixing is happening within the Orion. Your last test with the MFJ tuner seems to isolate it to the rig, itself. If the mixing were occurring before the MFJ, then the MFJ wouldn
Worst case the 960's overcurrent protection trips. Best case thereafter is to set it for the extra amp or two that's needed. I'd bet that with the Omni V into a properly matched aerial the 960 won't
Wear them in front of your ears on your temples I started my Novice career with a set of Trimm Radio magnetic headphones. They were old even then in 1966 (probably dating from 1945-1948). It hurt my

I used Ten-Tec rigs and a Heath SB-220 on CW for over 25 years. Kept the rig's relay drop-out set to maximum. I cannot tell you what sequenced how but never had any trouble with that setup. Actually
I'm not familiar with *all* Ten-Tec supplies but I've never seen or heard of one with an Airpax breaker built in. All of the Ten-Tec supplies I am familiar with do have solid-state over-current prote

The serial numbers of the rigs (Triton IV vs Triton IV Model 544) may not be the same series and thus the blanker will probably work as is on your rig. A call to Garland Jenkins at Ten-Tec service ou
Have you tried duct tape? Mike N4NT I'm using some Sony MDR-V600 headphones with my Orion and really like them. The only problem I have had is the covering on the headband has come apart. It is a ver

I had one. It had a temperature controlled fan speed. Sounded like a 727 jet when cool and a 747 in reverse when it got warm. It sure smelled bad when it caught fire. Mike N4NT I saw a notice a coupl
