What I find interesting (if I'm reading Sherwood's chart correctly) is that the Corsair (other than filter ultimate rejection) and Omni V come in very close to a statistical dead heat with the Omni V
I've seen the RIT/offset circuit cause this kind of issue. The offset trim pot may need to be readjusted. The procedure is in the manual on page 3-39 (at least on the copy that's posted on TT's websi
Rick, TNX for the spreadsheet - it's an interesting read. What I gleaned in a quick analysis is that while they aren't as convenient, the "old school" link-coupled tuners (in this case, the Johnson M
Phil, This fellow seems to be pretty heavily into repairing the old Argonauts: http://www.earlandrews.com/argonot1.html Maybe he could shed some light on what to look for. ___________________________

I wouldn't totally discount the possibility of RF sneaking back in where it wasn't supposed to - the cable to the footswitch could be functioning as a "Murphy"* antenna. Might a snap-on ferrite choke
Wade, You gotta give these folks some slack - they may not be able to move because they have special XTAL control rigs just for the net frequency HI HI!! (Or maybe their tuning knob is stuck???) 73,
Maybe apples and oranges, but I seem to remember a thread (or conversation with TT service?) back when about display noise being related to bypass cap issues on the Omni-Ds - I'd guess the same might
Wonder if the guys at the factory are listening? -- Press Release from "Pseudo Ten-Tek Inc." (Undated, sometime in the future) - We at Pseudo Ten-Tek (hereafter PTT) pride ourselves on listening to o

Jim, TNX for the info. Does it matter whether the THHN is solid or stranded? What core size do you recommend (I'm guessing 2" or so)? Also, (purely from a "dumb questions dept." perspective) would a
Given the name "Rebel" and the fact that the code is open source, wonder when we'll see one that plays "Dixie" through the sidetone monitor on bootup? _______________________________________________
Rick, I have to agree. Even with just casual operating (I'm not a contester) I've seen more than one situation where other stations were complaining about "splatter" or QRM (on both SSB and CW) which
I'm a little late with the reply here, but I think this needs to be said. It is a rarity indeed to see a spokesman for a U.S. company give a "mea culpa" simply because they didn't bring a product to
Be careful clicking on links even if you do have good antivirus etc. protection. Look up "Zero day exploit" if you want to see what I mean. There was an article on the IBM Developerworks site (unfort
Actually, there is already a government mandated "clean transmitter standard." It's called "Sec. 97.307" (as in FCC Part 97) and is titled "Emission standards." Might an update of this section of Par
Rick, 97.307 doesn't specify which order IMD or what testing method; paragraph (d) just says "spurious emissions" must be at least 43 dB below fundamental (2003 on, pre-1978 products are exempt.) I i
Well said Bob. The only thing I'd note is that in the broadcast industry "back then" (I was a small market AM chief and TV operating and maintenance engineer for a while) "good engineering practice"
An LPF relay could be a suspect, or a component in the LPF for those bands may have changed value. (Apples and oranges here, but I had an Argosy way back when that went to TT for warranty service on
