Woops! Thanks for the correction, Bob. I should have said "using the TUNE and LOAD controls as per the manual." My purpose was to point out the usefulness of a monitor scope in keeping a signal linea
Hi Jim! Funny seeing you here rather than the VFN. I also had a SX-99. Worked all summer to get it. I have an Orion and have traded for the Orion II. Hope you enjoy yours when you get it. It's absolu
I agree. I have a Palstar 1500 balanced line tuner and it is the finest I have ever owned. I use it with a 2.2 MHz full wave loop (not a typo but that's another story)fed with 450 ohm open line. You
Hey guys: In his book, ?Reflections?, Maxwell states that all power fed into the transmission line (minus line loss) is absorbed by the load, regardless of the mismatch. Secondly, with open-wire tune

I have used one with my Orion for some time with no problems. Simply use settings in the Orion manual for the Studio One and listen with headpones in monitor jack to fine tune. One thing; if you use
Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Chas. I had such a tuner and it worked great. The parts are still around. On a related subject, anyone have any thoughts on the ideal lenght of open wire line to
Emails such as this made me bite. Called Ten-Ten yesterday and traded my Orion for an Orion II. Look forward to receiving it in early Feb. Their website crashed shortly after I placed my order. Hope

How about a Ten-Tec Scout? I used mine for that purpose, but won a Icom706 at a hamfest and use that now. I only have the 75 meter module, but if interested contact me at scotth@hsc.edu. Scott K4VWK
