vic, I don't have the paragon manual in front of me, so, doing this from memory. on 40 and 30 meters, the same relays control the L/C components so, if it is a relay problem, you should see it on 30
Well now, I'm not too sure about that. without looking at the schematic, but I'd guess that this RAM/ROM/RTC has some sort of firmware installed at the Ten Tec factory. It's this firmware that gives
I am going to take a stab at this but I'll admit I've need had my fingers in one. First I'd see in in fact your drawing enough current to light the IV lamp. If you are, then place a AM broadcast rece
Guys, working on a Omni V. All back together and receiving and transmitting just fine. However, the display is off, just a tad, and I can't find anyplace in the manual on how to correct the error MID
Okay, i have one of the chips, took it out, but can replace it. however, i'd guess that the chip has to be left in the rig after the corrections? mike wb8vge On Oct 21, 2012, at 12:30 PM, Carl Moresc
I'd put my money on the 2.4khz filter. I worked in a paragon that sounded okay but rf power dropped off as you went higher in freq. at 10meters only 10-15 watts of power. Turned out to be a bad filte
just wondering, what was the reason, if any, that Ten Tec sent the radio back as un-repairable? lighting hit? can of pop spilled inside? Joe ham and his new soldering gun had a try? just wondering...
did you see the service receipt from ten tec? Generally the tech will jot down notes about why this rig was un-repairable. could be a pointer in the direction of troubleshooting for example, if the m
Of course, when running ten tec transceivers, the use of a non factory supply increases the need for an air pax fast acting circuit breaker to protect the rig's final transistors. Mike wb8vge Sent fr
True! But the older rigs don't have this feature They relied on the over current protection from the power supply. Even the Orion II does not fold back rf output when the swr is out of range but inst
guys, an amazing amount of good helpful information here. I can understand both points of view and they both have logical and sound arguments. But that all being said, I'm working on a strange runnin
Well, true, but it is broke. And I know broke. Seems to work just fine, but when a load is impressed upon it, it goes wacky. I see about 6.7 vpp of ac on the filter cap, and yes tried another cap in
Wade, Take a big, and I mean a really big gulp, and try an LED light. Gosh they're expensive, but they don't have the RFI that the CFI seem to manufacture I have several 110 Edison based LED lights i
Like the subject line says, I have a question for Corsair II users On my Corsair II, when I reduce the RF gain down to about six on the scale, the receiver is dead. The only action I have on receiver
Pete, the first line of troubleshooting this project would be to pop the top and bottom, watch out for that speaker wire, and then one at a time pull and reset each and every one of the MTA (mass ter
