The XV144 does not have any means of warping the local oscillator on frequency. Mine is about 4 KHz high. I asked them about this, and they told me that it is really easy to program the offset into y
I have been buying the strips from Glow safe for some time. But, I wonder if my Argo II has a problem. The first OEM backlight lasted for about a decade of heavy use. The replacements last several mo
My Corsair II seems to be quite sensitive, and I have had a great time working DX on the low end of 80 meters with it. But, even with the RF gain up all the way, and the attenuator set to off, my rad
Carl, What sort of rig control was present in the Delta II and Argonaut II radios. There is a jack on the back panel and as I remember Ten Tec made some sort of digital adapter for these radios. 73,
At long last, I am getting a 220 volt line installed for my Centaur amplifier. So, I am looking at where to put it on the desk. Does anyone here on the list know whether the fan on the left side of t
Thanks George. When all else fails, read the manual! Looks like I will have to rearrange things so that the amp does not blow hot air into the rig. I'm hooking it up to a Corsair II. 73, Steve WA9JML
I made up some cables today, and started working on hooking the transceiver up to the amplifier. I looked in both manuals, and there doesn't seem to be any diagram specifically for hooking these two
I really liked my 1208 transverter. I used it with my Argonaut II, and worked all continents with 8 watts during the last F2 peak feeding a Hy-Gain 4 element beam at 50 feet. I gave it to a friend to
I have been enjoying this thread quite a bit. One question that I have about receiver performance may bear a bit on what has been discussed so far. Since upgrading to extra several years ago, I have
HI Jerry, Thanks for the info. Ten Tec told me that the Corsair II is designed along the lines of Rohde's ideas, and that is not half bad. I initially got the Corsair II to use with my Swan TV2 trans
Why don't you just solder a new 4 pin connector on it? 73, Steve WA9JML _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/l
I first learned the code by studying it, as I recall, in the Boy's Second Book of Radio. It showed the patterns in the code. E,I, S, and H, for example. I practiced in my head, learned the alphabet,
I bought my first Argonaut II back in the 1980s when they first came out. I had been using some Heath QRP rigs, such as the HW-7 and the HW-9. I also was campaigning my National NCX-5 MkII. I quickly
Hi John, Check out this website: http://www.glowsafe.com/e-shop/product_info.php?cPath=36&products_id=163 You want to buy one without the power supply. I have used these, and they fit perfectly. They
Tonight while enjoying a nice CW ragchew, the other OM told me that my rig was changing frequency about 100 HZ when keyed. I have never been told this before, so I experimented a bit, and it looks li
I am looking for a #217 Ten Tec 500 Hz crystal filter for use in the narrow slot on my Omni V. It has the 250 Hz filter which is a bit too narrow for use on VHF CW. I am using the Omni V with a trans
I was contemplating buying one of these 43 foot antennas to hook up to my stable of Ten Tec radios. It is almost impossible to find out the true performance of antennas from advertising copy. I am gl
I have a Ten Tec #219 250 Hz filter for the 9 MHz IF for sale. I got a 500 Hz filter for my Omni V.9, and this one is now surplus to my needs. $45.00 shipped Priority Mail to the U.S. _______________
I think I need more coffee! It is a 250 Hz 9 MHz crystal filter. Steve WA9JML _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mai
I have thought about buying an Omni VII for some time. I am somewhat reticent about it as it is more of a computer than a radio, and after all of the complaining on this list about other high perform
