You're thinking of the Hercules I. The Herc II had four of the standard TT amp boards with power dividers/adders and runs at 13.8 volts. Reason for demise of Herc II was low sales....not enough to en
YES According to the manual and from everything I have read it says 15 watts on tune. A LATER CHANGE. How does the mobile bracket attach to the radio? REMOVE THE TOP COVER SCREWS, PUT THE BRACKET IN

and, should I use a external balun with the 238 tuner to keep the open line outside the shack? or would the internal balun work better? but have the feed line inside the shack? Man, you're opening up

I understand the Scout has a problem with drift when using the internal keyer, especially at higher speeds. I guess this is a result of the way the micropocessor handles frequency correction during k
I am not sure that refering to it as a PTO is correct either. Works for general discussions though. The only thing non-conventional about the Scout PTO is it's frequency correcting processor. Otherwi
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

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
Agreed. Switching supplies can be some of the worst spectrum polluters. I have had a running battle with a consumer company (Conair) regarding their 18V switching supply that runs a portable "jacuzzi
CW is not longer taught in Military Comms schools, and most FCC types seem to be lawyers these days. Stu: CW is still taught at Ft Huachuca, AZ for ALL services. The emphasis is on Intelligence gathe
Sure you will.... a mobile antenna is a lot less than unity gain... More like -10 dB or more at 5 mHz. and ur equipment will have to be crystal controlled? why? Perry w8au
Bob: MARS is exempt from the NTIA regs. Only CAP adopted this criteria. It's designed mainly for "foolproof" operation by non radio people. Perry w8au (NavyMars nnn0vno)
Speaking of the Orion and their offerings. I rotated the tuning knob on every Ten-Tec at the show and every one had an eccentric knob. Looks like all their knobs have oversize holes and when tightene
