In case you're not aware of what it is: Teflon based lubricant called "Tri-Flow." Appears to micro-sized teflon ball "bearings?" held in fluid. Available at Bicycle shops. Have used this after an alc

A year or two ago, the Navy announced it was going back to HF for inter-battlegroup communications instead of using satellite. This was based on economy. CW was not mentioned, just "data transmission
Bob: CW is still taught to ALL services for "intercept" purposes, not for communication. There is one school. It's at Fort Huachuca, AZ under Army auspices. The Special Ops program could possibly be
Heartily agree! The Scout NB is one of the best I've used. (p.s.= I have been running my pre-production Scout for over 15 years now CW mobile) Perry w8au _____________________________________________
Yes. If you can find one. I would estimate that most Scouts have them since the Scout was not that expensive and adding the NB did not add that much to the overall price. Hope you find one with the N
But make it out of 1/8" aluminum. The original Scout mobile mount was flimsy sheet steel and permitted some vibration during mobile use. I got rid of mine. Perry w8au ________________________________
There was talk of that two years ago. CAP now requires it, since a lot of their folks know nothing about radio adjustment. And maybe Army MARS was thinking of it, but the talk has died down...Nothing

For my Radio club the older Triton 4/544 5 band transceiver is the ideal FD rig. Simple, functional, FD bands only, no learning curve, and not expensive. We use two or three of them, with transmit ba
Steve: Do you use split operation on CW? Curious to know if the DDS osc can handle the instantaneous shift of frequencies at a fast keying rate. Obviously there is a delay compared to the External VF

Check out the RX front end filter and TX output filter diode switch DC busses. See if the voltage is getting to all the lower band segments when those bands are selected. The V may have had reed rela
I second Dave's motion on this one. My QST collection dates from 1915 to the present and I started collecting about 40 years ago. I made sure I read each batch I found before putting in the bookshelf
Hi Val: How much? :-) We're looking for a mid sized amp for the ship. Perry w8au _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/
The "ears" you speak of are the rack-mounting extenders, not the cosmetic plastic inserts. w8au _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.
Yes. You should save the cosmetic end pieces if you decide to rack mount the OMNI VI and you want to restore to original later. _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list Ten
I'll check my stash. I think I have a couple. Also need to visit. What day/time best? PB _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contest
Object lesson for Field Day! Our club, years ago, managed to pick up a couple TenTec 544 transceivers. (TT Triton 4, Digital) This is the optimum FD rig. Five FD bands, very functional, no bells or w
