Found it. The company is Advanced Semiconductor, Inc. An Internet search will find them. I do not know anything about the company and I am not endorsing them in any way. 73, -LeeWA3FIY
I have an idle SB-200 here so I ran some tests to see what 20 watts drive would do. Found several interesting and maybe discouraging things. Forget about ALC. 20 watts will not drive the amp to anywh
I thought of doing that but the question was how the SB-200 would work with the Argonaut V. Since it has only 20 watts max available, one cannot tune with any higher drive level. Before I put the amp
OK, let me eat a little crow and try the numbers again. :-) Seems there are two peaks, on 40 meters anyway, and of course I got the wrong one first time around. The load control is now near max CCW.
I'm not real sure it is a crystal element. I have seen those mics with ceramic and electret elements though as I recall. Does it work OK? Does it have a stereo type 1/4 inch plug or 4 conductor mic p
Thanks for the info Mike. I wondered if there might be two models. Interesting note though. I have both Argosy and Argosy II sharing one noise blanker. Don't know which model it is but I switch it be
A very small hex wrench. Don't know exactly what size but it is small. There are various opinions about un-sticking stuck PTO shafts. In mine, the alcohol MAY work but I would not bank on it working
First impression is Nice Job Ten Tec! Still a couple bugs, maybe,but so far I like what I see. I'm not sure the unprocessed SSB audio is a good as 1.732 but with the processor on 4 or 5 it sounds pre
I imagine the Omni VII will have a significantly different first local oscillator than the Jupiter. The Jupiter tunes in 2.5 Khz steps with all finer tuning done in the DSP IF. That is possible becau
The limited matching range on 6 meters may have to do with the granularity of the L and C both of which are comprised of fixed values switched into the network binary fashion. One of my Ten Tec built
What about the Wadley Loop? It is my understanding that it provided a high degree of stability using a tunable (read drifty) VHF oscillator and a 1 Mhz crystal oscillator rich in harmonics along with
I realize those limitations. What I was getting at, apparently not very well, was that mixing schemes may indeed be able to minimize the effect of drift in oscillators. I was using the Wadley Loop as
Years ago I had an issue with my Paragon. Wrote Ten Tec about it and why I thought they did not do a very good job in the design. ( I have to laugh about that now, they did a fine job! :-) I still ha
There may be another way to do it but I simply turn the power to zero and use a dummy load. Although the dummy load is probably not necessary, I feel better about having it in place. Since no power i
Pegasus. Hands down...........Pegasus. Although I have a number of rigs at my disposal, the Pegasus is the one I keep going back to for the digital modes. Beside working very well and being exception
I've had my O Classic for only a few months. Not a contester or DX'er so I don't use a lot of the capability of the radio. I do tinker a lot and use multiple modes though. After trying 2.056 and seve
