I think that some drift is just in the nature of analog PTO circuits. I recall trying to get my old Triton compensated to reduce the slight drift that occurred during use. Many folks have had good re
I have had one lightning strike at my home QTH in over 45 years of hamming. Lighting hit an electrical fence next to our main barn (curiously, not the barn nor the tree close nearby, which were both
Had a conversation with Paul Clinton at TT last fall regarding the "Blue Screen". He indicated that neither the Jupiter nor the Omni VII screens will fit the Orion, but that they were currently using
My venerable Hallicrafters HT-45 Loudenboomer amp that I've used with 2 different Ten Tec rigs over the past 22 years has a power supply problem. I rebuilt the supply back in 1990 when I purchased th
Just a note to say thanks to all those who posted or sent emails. Great suggestions and I am glad to be associated with this group! I ordered a set from K4POZ, who also communicated with me directly
Interesting topic. Mine was also a bit of an accidental purchase. In the early 70's I was just married and living in East Tennessee and was well aware of Ten Tec, but new gear was just not in the bud
This is timely. When I first got my Paragon I connected the Kantronics KAM interface I was using to the Audio In/Out jacks and got RF in the audio chain. This was easily remedied by just switching to
Just a follow-up on this subject, Bob. I wired the new SignaLink USB to the audio in/out jacks of my Paragon, tested it for receiving and transmitting PSK, and listened via the rig monitor to my audi
IMHO, the Paragon is far an away the best performer in the group you list, and capable of computer interfacing and working the digital and SSB modes Hans will most likely frequent. It has a simple, b
Lately an odd problem has shown up that I would like some help on. Periodically the SWR indicated on my 585 Paragon will jump to around 3:1 and the output power will drop off to about 1/4 the normal
Bingo! Paul Clinton at Ten Tec emailed me the next morning after I had posted the problem and suggested the same thing. He pointed out that the SWR detection is the last thing in the Paragon before t
I suspect the connections between the front panel and the main board are an issue. Try reseating those white cable connectors at both ends and see if you get a better response from the controls. Ever
When I needed to replace the 6v, 50ma dial lamps in my Triton I a while back, I found they were made from unobtanium or very expensive, even through Ten Tec. However, as memory serves, they are wired
I have one of those that I've used to listen aound on VHF using SDRSharp. It works well, although with poor sensitivity on the supplied 6" mag mount, so it is pretty much limited to FM broadcast or t
My 585 paragon has developed an intermittent issue with power dropping off to QRP levels and the ALC light going off. No other issues exist and the signal remains clean and distortion-free when this
The gounding looked goo and all mounting screws has lock washers that bit into the board edge traces very well. Actually, after more fiddling around I may have located the problem. The coax connector
What a nice memory jog, and I feel sure we must know each other, Pat. I also called KUB around 1964 when I was first licensed as a teenager and met the guys who promptly came out to resolve the 6m in
I have had a Ten Tec Triton I since the 70's. It was my main radio for years, but has been relegated to a "suitcase station" that I sometimes take on trips. I set up in a motel last night and had a f
As they say, the stupid shall be punished! Operating portable with my trusty old Triton I during Field Day, I lost almost all receive signal and ended up aborting the operation. When I got home I had
I realize it isn't the same rig, but I had some set-up issues when I first started using the SignaLink with my Paragon. I left the 705 mic plugged in the front and used the audio-in and out jacks on
