I had a similar problem a couple years ago with my Pegasus. Ten Tec had the relay in stock at a very attractive price. I bought enough to replace all the relays on the low pass board and replaced the
No apology necessary here David. I prefer most of the "chatter" to go to the list. Many times I have picked up useful info that would be lost to most of us if the conversations were private. Seems to
Ron, Martin's suggestion is exactly how I've been running all my Ten Tec gear since the arrival of my Corsair II 22 years ago. All with excellent results I might add. I regurarly get complimentary re
Regarding ALC on Ten Tec gear, here is my understanding of how it works. The POWER control on most Ten Tec's since at least the Triton series is simply a front panel ALC control. In fact, the Tritons
Keith, that's the way my O Classic works too. I think that is the correct action for high cut. I take advantage of this feature by leaving the "CUT" control set to high cut ("H") and the PBT/BW contr
Gil, maybe you are tuning the PBT through the passband window too quickly and missing the signal. The passband is pretty narrow with the 217 filter and you may zip right through it. Find a good signa
Actually, the MRF458 used in many of the Ten Tec Rigs thru the Omni VI, is rated for 80 watts output each making it 160 watts total. That makes a pretty robust final when run at 100 watts out. HOWEVE
Hi Ray, I've not had that problem with my Argonaut V but I did improve the calibration on my Pegasus a while back. I suspect the situation is very similar. It sounds like the TCXO is off a little bit
Ray, I just checked my Argonaut V after a 10 minute warm-up and find the frequency error at 10 Mhz is 6.8 hz. I have not done a calibration on this rig and being under 10 hz, don't think I will even
Hi Charles, good luck on your upcoming test. I have two Pegasus transceivers, one for about ten years, and find them to be very good transceivers. I obtained an Orion a few years ago, so that is now
Hi John and group. I imagine John that you are aware of the little marker that rides along the top of the sweep screen as you tune. Since the sweep stops during tuning, I can see how that would work
Hi Tom. Welcome. Good to see you here. I greatly enjoy your entertaining and informative posts to GlowBugs. :-) To your question. I'm no expert on the matter but I think the unidirectional backlash i
A PSK31 signal is a two tone signal. That likely accounts for what you are seeing on the 'scope. That also accounts for the lower average power output reading compared to a CW output. Somebody check
Good point about the PSK idle. I knew that and failed to mention it. When in PSK idle, it is indeed a two tone signal and shows about 50% of PEP on many power meters. When sending data, I'm not sure
Yep. From what I can tell, it is very similar to the 234. Updated with modern components and construction but I suspect it will operate in a nearly identical manner. The manual is on line at the Ten
If you wire the 4 pin plug correctly, the mic will receive it's power directly from the Omni VI and the battery will not be needed. The battery is for applications where the radio being used does not
