My ORION I has always had a similar pop at power down. I believe it is normal. Take your headphones off before powering down and it is not a problem. 73, Bill -- Original Message -- From: "Lee Trousd
Rick, My Argonaut V (an early one still running Ver 1.07) does the exact same thing. This is very infrequent and seems to happen when the rig has not been in use for some time. Please share your find
Ken, There are some SMD op-amps in the Omni VI ALC circuit that are very susceptible to static damage. When there is static damage the symptoms can be similar you yours. Also PIN switching diodes can
Keith, I like the 6n2. In fact I have two of them. They are simple and fun to use. Sadly they are not good for serious weak signal work as the receive sensitivity is a little low. YMMV 73, Bill - K6W
Has anyone replaced the stock filters with any of the Inrad units? How did the new filters work and how much trouble was it to wire the Inrads into the Ten Tec rig? The stock filters seem to have ver
Jerry, Thanks for the advice. I knew there must be a good reason that I liked the sound of filters with less aggressive skirts. Probably in my case the filter blow-by is what needs to be corrected. P
Jeff, That is a great price for a T-T 6n2. Overall it is a nice rig that is fun and simple to use. You may not even need to read the manual. My only complaint is the receive sensitivity is not as goo
In my experience the "overdriven audio" sound in the ORION can be eliminated with careful adjustment of the AGC parameters Bill - K6WLM Bob - K4TAX said: "On item that I've discovered with the curren

The Elecraft XG-1 or XG-2 mini modules are inexpensive and perfect for alignment and checking sensitivity. XG-1 is 40 meters only and the XG-2 is 80, 40, and 20 meters. The output is selectable betwe
Vicenç, Sadly this seems to be a discontinued Ten Ted kit. However they are very good about providing replacement parts for all of their products. Give them a call or send an email. I bet they can he
Wanted dead or alive: 15 Meter module for Ten Tec 555/556. I would prefer a working unit but would be willing to accept and repair a defective module as long as it is in OK physical condition. Please
Dick & Group, As is the case with many rigs from Ten Tec, there is plenty of extra space inside of the equipment case. However there is very little un-used space on the back panel and there is a prin
I have a properly working Ten Tec 219, 250 Hz bandwidth, 9 MHz IF, six pole filter for sale. This filter works in many of the older Ten Tec rigs as well as some of the newer rigs such as the Omni IV
While so many have been complaining about Ten Tec's closed code that takes hundreds of man-hours to write and de-bug, they have released Ver 1.018 for the Omin VII as of 7/23. Anyone tried the new lo

Shane, I do remember that some discounts were offered on used gear at the T-T Hamfest but I don't know if they also offered discounts on new gear. As far as Six Meter weak signal work goes I am guess
Hello Ten Tekkies, While on the T-T web site today I noted that the 2 meter transciver kit is no longer available. I am sad to see the last of these VHF kits go away. They are actually pretty good ri
