Gang... I started this thread with my mention of noise from the local power line. S-9+40 over on all frequencies from Broadcast to FM.. Called the power company 1. Linemen can't fix. 2. They (the lin
Gang.. I've got four scotts and while I enjoy the daylights out of them, three of the four have kaput meters.. ten tec is long out of stock. they look like a cheap import meter (more than likely why
Gang! while working on those scouts, I pulled down a old 509 I hve put back on the shelf years ago. found the problem and now it receives and transmits just fine. however I find the audio to be a bit
I maybe wrong but thought for sure the Omni VII was to get the cw encode and decide feature like the Jupiter. I see nothing coming from tt on their web site about it. Did I miss something here? Mike
Gang! Having very little luck trying to find a replacement analog meter for the scout, I decided to design a solid state version.. the proof of concept has been installed and I have to say works just

Gang! I've begun rebuilding two Century 21 radios. Both have stuck PTOs I ordered and received rebuild kits from Ten Tec Now, this is not my first dance with a PTO rebuild, having done dozens before,
I got this massive HP 8656B signal generator, but for nearly all the receiver testing I do, I use the elcraft signal generator. crystal controlled on 7.040 and has output of 50uV and 1uV. like the ot
Gang! The pile of old Omni's continue to stack up. I have several "A" and a "D" or two models. I' have heard there is a mod to improve the agc and to keep it from popping. Anyone know where that mod
thanks dave... I've put many a pto back together, but never had the one out of an omni a, c or d yet. will be a project for sure. mike Mike Bryce, WB8VGE the heathkit shop SunLight energy systems J e
Boys and Girls.... The broken Omni D is moving right along. Receiver is working while the TX still is kaput. However I just wonder why why would the s-meter drop when switching in the 500 hz filter?
gang.. while waiting on parts for the Omni B rebuild from Ten tec, I took down another project or two from the racks I have a rather strange argosy I, for some reason, whom ever used this radio never
Steve. I tend to agree. With less current draw on 80 meters, I do not see the problem with the pa. I don't have a sweep generator so I will not mess with the bpf. I will use the scope and see if ther
Gang... It was a bloody mess and I have to admit, the Argosy II got the best of me after a all evening test bench assault. Here's what I know. the pa seems to be working just fine. I had thought that
I don't want to sound really dumb...and I know the final pa transistors are not made anymore, but just thinking.. but if one of the final was open, would that produce the results I am seeing? I am ge
Hi Gang! A quick update on the Argosy II project. After more tests and a few experiments, I concluded that the PA was in fact only running on one output transistor. I would rather pick fly poop out o
Well gang subject line says it all. this omni d i am working on required one knob to be drilled out so it could be removed from the volume control. The PTO had to be rebuilt so the front panel had to
you need to be a bit more specific.. is the volume control just noisy? is the power switch bad? are you sure the control is at fault or is there something else? Mike, WB8VGE Can anyone give me guidan
Gang... Still too cold to work on the antennas, so it more bench time. I just fixed up a long waiting project, a Model 100 CAP transceiver. now... I know that the CAP changed how and what kind of gea
