1. [TenTec] Scout Freq stability problems! (score: 1)
Author: weingaertner@nac.net (Robert Weingaertner)
Date: Thu, 01 Jun 2000 22:15:53 -0400
Ed, it sounds like a problem in the PTO (VFO). It is tuned by a slug that is driven in and out of the coil by a screw mechanism. My guess it that there is something worn or loose in the drive screw c

I think that it is normal. The knob connects directly to the optical encoder shaft and there is normally a bit of play in the shaft. My Paragon os the same way. You might try adjusting the knob drag

Deni, the main problem with the PTO's was not mechanical wear (though this can happen in a heavily used unit), but the sticky grease that was originally used. The grease would harden and cause freque

My 1220 2 mwter transceiver was plagued with an excessively loud PL (CTCSS) tone and somewhat weak transmit audio. I had tried extra grounds on the power amplifier assembly and some extra grounding o

I just had the same problem. Here's how I propose to fix it at my end: Turn off the PC. Turn on the Corsair. Check into the local CW net. Enjoy the classic sound of the sawtooth sidetone! Seriously,

Fear not. Replacement dots are still available from Ten Tec! When I got my Paragon some years ago, there was no red dot in the TT logo, although there was one on the matching power supply. I figured

Wel, there must have been some color variations. Maybe TT uses different dot suppliers. My Corair station (transceiver, VFO and PS all have orange dots. The 961 supply has an orange dot but my Parago

While we're looking at the Pegasus FP, take a look at the RX-340 receiver. It looks like those super expensive military/commercial r3eceivers that Watkins-Johnson and Collins make. Looks like a real

Date: Wed, 24 May 2000 18:49:04 -0400
Bill, the fix is to remove the major loop board, unsolder the shield on the bottom and reflow all of the solder connections. I had the problem on 1 or 2 bands, but eventually all 4 PLL circuits neede

I have had this problem, but only on bands where I don't do much, if any, transmitting. I suspect that the problem is in the contacts for the low pass filter relays because all I have to do to clear

There are 2 possible fixes for this. One is to lengthen the AGC time constant. It will still pop, but a slower time constant will keep it from popping as often. The other fix is to add an RF or IF ga

Probably the easiest tone board to install is the Communications Specialists SS-32SMP. Comm Spec has application notes for many radios and the board is $ 27.95. Their number is 800-854-0547 73, Bob W

13. [TenTec] Electret Mic voltage vs. Dynamic Mic (score: 1)
Author: weingaertner@nac.net (Robert Weingaertner)
Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2000 21:36:48 -0400
No effect at all, Rod. The DC voltage for the electret element is brought out on a separate pin (4) of the mike connector, so it would not go to the dynamic element at all. The dynamic mike connects

Sounds like the crystal-controlled heterodyne oscillator is dropping out. Check the OSC-MIXER board for cold solder joints or a bad or loose crystal. 73, Bob WB2VUF -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesti

Many direct conversion receivers have a hum on receive when using an AC supply. Its caused by some common mode noise that gets into the detector and is amplified by the high gain audio stage. Differe

Author: weingaertner@nac.net (Robert Weingaertner)

The solution is to roll off the audio response at higher frequencies, as some manufacturers do to mask synthesizer noise. However, the audio may then sound too muddy, i.e. too much bass. Ten Tec has

No, the Power Mite did not have QSK, although some had semi-QSK as an option or standard. QSK became standard after the power mites when the Argonauts and Tritons were introduced. I'm not sure about

Interesting question, Carl. No doubt Pegasus will have a profound effect on the radio market--both new and used. However, it may all boil down to personal preference. Some like real knobs and a front
