Is this possibly a bypass cap issue letting glitches get out on the power bus? (I tried to build a digital (TTL) doorbell back when before I understood the finer points of layout and bypassing - it w
Woody, Since no one else has replied, I'll take a shot at answering your question. The following is from Motorola Application Note AN-593 "BROADBAND LINEAR POWER AMPLIFIERS USING PUSH-PULL TRANSISTOR
Allan, Just to make sure - remember that the switch is in series with the front panel switch on the rig. The push on - push off type switches used in the older rigs (Tritons, early Omnis, Delta, Argo
Correction to my last post: the front panel switch is a push in/pull out, not push on push off. SRI about that, brain rebooting HI HI!! 73, Al -- previous message -- Allan, Just to make sure - rememb
Never liked the Speed-X action??? I consider the Speed-X series (properly adjusted of course) to be one of the best "bang for the buck" straight keys out there. My dad was a seagoing USCG op in WWII
That is, if the USAF has its way: <snip> Three teams are competing in a US Air Force project to improve radio communication by directly seeding the ionosphere with plasma <snip> New Scientist: US Air
Bill, Before you order the rebuild kits, take a look in the reflector archives from a couple of monthis ago at the extensive discussion about PTO lubrication and repair options: http://lists.contesti
Cold solder joints? Not just Paragons, but Corsairs, Delta IIs... almost any of the older TT rigs, probably other brands as well, along with various automobiles (ask me how I know!) and most any othe
If I've identified them correctly those connectors come under the general description of latching pin header connectors. Replacements should be inexpensive and readily available from sources such as
These may also be known as "mass term" or MTA connectors. Take a look at this page and see if they're what you're referring to: http://www.te.com/usa-en/products/connectors/pcb-connectors/intersectio
Lee, AMP Mate-N-Locks are used for the power connectors. The connector in question is for an internal low-level signal of some sort and is much smaller. 73, Al
John, I need to defer to others on the list concerning your questions on the TCXO as I have never owned any of the Omni VI series and thus haven't dealt with their "innards." On the other hand Ten-Te
What gets me is seeing folks obsessing over getting "only 90W" out of their 100W rated rig on some particular band but then ignoring the inefficiencies of their generic autotuner/balun setup and/or a
My point exactly - this has been discussed here and on other forums on multiple occasions. It has to do with choices: component types and architectures of matching networks, feedlines (look at the lo
Unless I'm mistaken (which has happened once or twice before HI HI!!) the Omni VI uses the 4 pin connector. I think the 700 is the 4 pin version hand mike. 73, Al
John, If I'm thinking correctly you should be able to "borrow" the hand mike from the Scout to use with the O-VI for the time being until you can procure another mike. (I'm assuming here that unless
Paul, Why the need for a rotating turret? Wouldn't switching taps accomplish the same thing? Cliplead taps on the coil have been a staple of link coupled systems since the early days of ham radio, an
