Give Stan the benefit of the doubt.... after all, this rig predates his service at TT and he is, after all, a SALESman. (if he had to keep up with all the engineers and repair guys he would need extr
I have not recently read the Scout manuals that I received many years ago, but I don't recall any specification for earphone Z since the audio output is direct. (no transformers) It provides more out
Actually, TT did not ground the shafts in the Triton and Omni A/D/C series because of the "potential" problems arising from gradual poor connection over time between the wiper spring and the shaft. T
My gripe is.... what's wrong with CW on those small limited slots? If it's emphasis is "emergency comms" when 80/40 are not effective, why is CW left out? How many CW signals could we comfortably (or
I like that interpretation. Shall we ask Riley? Or just play it safe (?) and don't ask? And, given a good quality signal, who knows whether the CW is coherently generated or a product of keyed audio

Stu: CW is still taught at Ft Huachuca, AZ for ALL services. The emphasis is on Intelligence gathering, not tactical comms. I have a good friend (a Navy Comm Tech 3rd Class) who is slated to attend t

Well, they did have an upper freq limit spec as I recall. It was 7.5 kHz. When we ordered BC quality loaded lines from telco years ago it was 7.5 kHz for AM and 15 kHz for FM. I can see the correlati
There was a commercial unit made, think it was called NBVM (narrow band voice modulation) or something similar. It comes to me that Henry radio produced it, or sold it..... (?) ......and Jerry was ri
Tony: I used silicone spray at first.... good for awhile. But, best of all.... replace them with "momentary" bat handle toggle switches..... More professional looking.... no sticking... Ah, modificat
Mark: One of the best FD stations is the Triton 4 (540-544). It has the five FD HF bands only. Very functional and simple to operate. No programming course required! Cheap too! Perry w8au
He'll be back. He embarrassed himself by accidently posting to the list instead of to an individual. Anyone would feel the same. No one is indispensable.... time shows us that. Talent abounds on this
