Here is a question for the more digitally inclined folks on this list. I have been looking at the new 50 watt Tokyo Hy-Power amplifier and wonder if there is any way to use the digital port on the Ar
Oh, I don't know. There are a few things Ten Tec might readily upgrade on such a radio from the basis of the Corsair II, and they would not have to listen to endless complaining about firmware upgrad

I used one of these transverters with my Argonaut II, and managed to work all continents with it barefoot into a 4 element beam during the last F2 cycle. I found that it worked extremely well, and is
There are at least two different T/R switching configurations for Corsair II radios. Mine is an earlier model, which does not have the connections for key in and key out. The later versions do have t
Ha! You Orion guys think you have it bad. I'm not only still waiting for a firmware upgrade for my Corsair II, but Gonset has not returned my e-mails for years now about an upgrade for my GSB-100! If

I recently bought a nice Ten Tec Model 256 FM card for my Omni V. (Thanks Ken!) The installation instructions for the card are for a Paragon. I presume that the Omni's internal workings are considera
