Let me know when you find out. I have the same problem with my Scout, but after it's on awhile, the segment fills in and it reads O.K. What is the problem????? 73, Winston K4CWQ has

I've been reading postings about a Tokyo Hy-Power HF amp that will amplify 5-10 watts to 50-plus watts on all HF bands of 80-10. It sounds like it would be a good mate for the Argonaut V and other si

The mic is optional. You can buy either a hand microphone or the 705 desk mic. Does anyone know if the Jupiter comes with a hand mike? I read a review that said there is no mike. I find that hard to

I recently managed to find an old, non-working Ten-Tec TX-100 (novice tube transmitter). (Wish I'd kept that new one I owned in the 80s!) Anyway, I need a manual (I think it's like 2 or 3 pages). I'l
Even though Ten-Tec's factory may seem small, compared to something like an auto factory, most parts of their radios are made right there in the plant. They have a tool and die facility; they make th
The moral to the story is "if you try to please everybody, you just end up losing your ass!" I don't get it. Does this mean that Bill was supposed to throw his rig in the river? Steve Ellington N4LQ.

Thanks to all who gave me advice on installing the LDG auto-tuner in the Jupiter. I called Gary at Ten-Tec Service at he prepared me on how to handle the software download. If it hadn't been for his

I have the earlier version of the external LDG AT-11 tuner (without the meters) but it also automatically tunes and usually takes the SWR down close to 1.0. I'm really disappointed the the built-in J
There was a Omni-A, Series B made at the same time the Omni-D, Series B came out. Ten-Tec, at the time, also offered a modification kit to make the original Omni-A equivalent to an Omni-A, Series B.

I think the software upgrading is the best feature of the Jupiter. Ten-Tec develops many more feature upgrades because it is a software radio than we would receive if each upgrade required new hardwa

I updated to Version 1.22 today and I'm also missing the tuning indicator on the sweep function. Maybe the next update will fix that. 73, Winston K4CWQ to

Hi Michael, Push around on the rec-trans switch, receive antenna jack and others in that area. I had a Ten-Tec 580 Delta which was having a similar problem and it was a broken receive antenna phono j

Try International Crystal Company. Not sure about their web address. A few years ago, I got them to make a couple of crystals for a Ten-Tec Delta 580 that needed the WARC band crystals. You just need

I'll let some of the other Ten-Tec fans give the technical explanation, but there's some reason that the Series B Omni cannot be used on 17 meters. Has something to do with IF frequency or images, I
