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

I sure didn't, Randy. FB on the ARRL Handbook. I enjoy it also. I can't remember precisely what precipitated the spat between ARRL and Maxwell. Seems to me it had something to do with UHF antenna des
Rick, this is true, but even the 450 ohm ladder line stuff is certainly better than a long run of coax. 73 Scott -- Original Message -- From: "NJ0IP" <Rick@DJ0IP.de> Reply-To: Discussion of Ten-Tec E
I have a Ten-Tec #217 500Hz Filter and a #218 1.8 KHz for sale @ $70 each or $130 for both (firm - I pay postage). These were purchased 5/16/05 in my Orion I, which I have traded for an Orion II. I a

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
I run mine through the wall with two pieces of RG-8 coax WITHOUT the shield. Spacing is same as balanced line and uses two separate holes. Scott K4VWK -- Original Message -- From: "NJ0IP" <Rick@DJ0IP
Amen. Also, the stability of the Scout left much to be desired. My new Argo V is geaat and I'm glad I have it. _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.co
The only complaint I have is the documentation in the manual is kinda skimpy for digital modes. I did find out on the Programer's site the settings for the RS232 port. If anyone is interested they ar
For those interested or awaiting theirs, my Orion II arrived today. It was ordered 12/22/05. Now to pack up the Orion I and send it back to Ten-Tec, change my mike connector to an 8 pin, and all the
