Helllo All, Who was it that was looking for an Argonaut V? I really do not use mine very much now that I have the Orion. I had been thinking about selling it for a while but kept talking myself out o
Hello All, The Argonaut V is no longer available. Thanks to all who responded. 73, Bill wa2pvk@msn.com Please visit my home page: http://mysite.verizon.net/wa2pvk
Hi Rick, Good luck finding one of THOSE! I guess that it IS possible but I would think that it is a bit soon for any Orions to show up for sale - at least NOT at a "decent" price. One never knows how
Hello All, It would appear that I was much too hasty in removing my 6N2 and Argonaut V (TCXO) from the "For Sale" category. The interested parties made other arrangements and/or decided on a differen
Okay - I promised that I would not indicate the rigs as "sold" until I got the check(s) in my hands - THEREFORE I will simply state that they are both "spoken for" at this time. (NOT SOLD YET) Thanks
Hello Jim' I am very happy for you! That IS fast service indeed!!! Especially when you throw a holiday weekend into the mix! Just one more reason for being loyal to Ten-Tec. You got the Orion back ju
I seem to recall that the Motorola marine radio was called a "Modar Triton" and this was the basis for the 2 meter version called the "Metrum". It was crystal controlled, had 12 channels, and came in
Hi Grant, I am certainly enjoying mine as well! I looked EVERYWHERE but can not find any nits! Take Care & 73, Bill wa2pvk@msn.com Please visit my home page: http://mysite.verizon.net/wa2pvk
This may seem a bit obvious BUT have you checked the condition of the connectors and/or cables you are using? I had similar situations and, fortunately for me, the problem was always traced to a conn
Hello Rick, Sorry to hear that it was not something obvious. Are you sure that the dummy load has not developed a problem? I know - - - I is just grabbing at strawses but that is just the way I is. N
Sure about that? I recall reading, in the manual, (as much as I hate to admit reading it) that the tuner ONLY deals with "Ant A" Maybe that has been changed but that is how my Orion works. wa2pvk@msn
It would have been nice if the TCXO was powered up all the time. That would have solved the stability issues. I have had rigs that had that feature. The power switch killed power to every part of the
When "PCs" first appeared they were not all that useful. To do anything required programming and that is why the idea of "home computers" seemed rather far fetched. This would be as if Ten-Tec tried
Hi Bill, Try making a small loop in the remote pods cable IF the ferrite bead will accommodate the thickness. That is what I did. The loop was only about 2" across. The other thing is to play with th
Hi Stewart, Good to hear your impressions about the Argonaut V. which due to all the, understandable, emphasis on the Orion lately has been all but forgotten. I was equally surprised, as you, at how
Hi Stuart, Those antennas should work well. I have a private home and lot but the lot is not very large. Added to that size limitation is the fact that the power line coming into the house runs diago
OOPS! Sorry for using the bandwidth. I got "caught" by the reply settings. I intended this to go only to Stuart! wa2pvk@msn.com Please visit my home page: http://mysite.verizon.net/wa2pvk
I am wondering if there is a readily accessible test point for measuring the TCXO frequency directly? That method would be much easier for me since I have a very accurate frequency counter. (referenc
As I type I am looking at the DigiPan Waterfall display using George's method. The 500 Hz. was dead on but I am seeing a frequency of 1047.2 Hz. with the Orion tuned to 10.001.00 LSB. This IS quite i
