We had not put up an 80 meter antenna, but I wanted to try the band in the evening, so I cut a 1/4 wave length of coax, strung ot throu; /archives//html/TenTec/2006-05/msg00094.html (9,994 bytes)

I am wondering if the PTO would tune more smoothly if there was a little less spring tension. Mine seems; /archives//html/TenTec/2006-05/msg00095.html (7,281 bytes)

At one time I rewired the mic gain pot for this but I took the mod out, because I didn't want a non-standard Scout. Why use an exte; /archives//html/TenTec/2006-05/msg00327.html (8,764 bytes)

I've been able to run 2-4 hours at a time using only a 7 amp-hour battery, though, bigger is better, of course.; /archives//html/TenTec/2006-05/msg00574.html (9,649 bytes)

I have taken my Scout cabin camping and set it up for Field Day in the back seat of my Explorer. I usually run it at 30 watts.

It is just a plug-in substitution. It makes a noticeable improvement in the skirt selectivity. I don't remember the part number bu; /archives//html/TenTec/2006-06/msg00232.html (9,955 bytes)

It should be easy to modify the bandpass filter and change the crystal. We need to do the math to make sure there will be no spurious output; /archives//html/TenTec/2006-07/msg00188.html (7,487 bytes)

The plasticizers in some of the vinyl on will discolor meter faces. This happened to the plastic meter face in my DX-60A. The dust cover caused it to turn yellow. 73, Bob; /archives//html/TenTec/2006-07/msg00377.html (8,288 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: Bwana Bob <wb2vuf@qsl.net>; Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2006 19:25:48 -0400; Older editions of the manual did say that, but if your radio has the charging circuit, do not use an alkaline. It will leak. Mine did, so I use only NiMh. Bob WB2VUF _________________________________; /archives//html/TenTec/2006-07/msg00497.html (8,184 bytes)

QST did not like them. Also, they were higher priced than competitive Japanese radios of the time. Many Ten Tec fans feel that QST is b; /archives//html/TenTec/2006-08/msg00168.html (11,713 bytes)

Tuned circuits could be more selective because they tuned over a narrower range. VFO's, too, could be made more linear and stable,; /archives//html/TenTec/2006-08/msg00431.html (11,827 bytes)

However, I'm happy with my Paragon and Corsair, so I don't feel the need to trade up, but I would recommend it to others.

Buy 2 slinky toys and make a dipole. The steel coils will take solder, if you use a little paste flux. When stretched out, the resonant frequency is about 7.5 MHz.; /archives//html/TenTec/2006-08/msg00786.html (9,678 bytes)
