Would also like to comment here that *any* analog movement will invariably have its highest degree of accuracy in the middle third of its physical (as opposed to scale) range, perhaps another conside
Would like to add two things about Zone Alarm here: - ZA 'learns' your sys while it configures itself. Prompts will come up to the effect of "Do you want your computer to access the internet/intranet
No viruses here. Will note that I rebuilt my system recently (3 machines) and in the process of reconfiguring the gateway, observed the effects of NortonAV & Zone Alarm as I built up. The trash is ge
Am looking for a 288 1.8kHz IF filter for a recently acquired Corsair. If anyone has one excess, I'd be interested to hear from you. Also looking for manuals on the 263 VFO & 260 PS. If anyone knows
Have been following this thread and will pass along my experiences gained from having done a number of these. The idea of flushing the old and replacing it without a rebuild is certainly quick and co
Same experience/opinion here (w/2 of 'em) - ~300Hz drift for 30 minutes, then it stays put. All the rigs of that vintage (and a number since) need to 'come to temperature' before they are stable. 73,
Best I've found for duct tape gunk is ethyl alcohol; will not go after vinyl, but take care if it wants to migrate into a nick or tear (it may well go after the vinyl adhesive if allowed to soak in.)
Recently there was a bit of discussion on balanced tuners, a la AG6K, and the question came up about the use of Ten-Tec's small stepped inductors. Has anyone tried this? Any comments? 73, Tom N5OZQ
This is still in the 1251 Counterpoise kit. It was available separately ~1 yr ago as a separate part/kit, though not on the list then. Old P/N 80402. Value is .5-24 uH. These were also used in the 29
A good basic explanation of what Bob Heil is up to with the HC-4/5 and derivitives is on their website at www.heilsound.com Bottom line is that he has tailored these elements to 1) expected bandwidth
Is this not, to some degree, a function of the added stage of conversion? I had noted this with the 580 Delta (2 of 'em) which was likely TT's first double conversion rig, and predecessor to the Cors
Perhaps OT, but someone here may have an interest; I have a Measurements (Boonton) Model 59 Megacycle Meter/Grid Dip Oscillator in very good to excellent cosmetic condition, original, complete and fu
Greetings all, Am looking for the plastic surround bezel for my 243 VFO. Same as the one used for the Omni A/D, save the LED labels, which I have. If anyone out there has a parts unit, this would be
If I were looking for a rig in that era that had full WARC capabilities, I think that I'd save my change for a Corsair or later. If one can do without WARC, mainly 17M, my choice is the Omni D/B. I s
Mike, very well put, true on many (maybe all) levels, and sums it all up so well. I might, however, be tempted to substitute 'good' with 'right' ;-) 73' Tom N5OZQ Once I read that if you hung a truly
Tim, A little info on the Ten-Tec lineage is here: http://mywebpages.comcast.net/w8kc/lineage.htm I'm pleased with mine, given the vintage, and also have the remote VFO. The rig, I believe, was the f
