My ears hurt when I heard "boatanchor" and Corsair II used in the same sentence, but it's probably true. As I sit here cleaning the PTO, I'm reminded there's nothing out there being made like this a
I've seen a lot of Corsair IIs but never one with a serial number that high (2722). I'm guessing it's a relatively late-production one. You can sometimes get a rough idea by popping the cover and loo
I'd like to put the innards of a Ten-Tec 937 (aka Astron SL-11R) power supply into an Elecraft EC2 enclosure. Before I go locating the supply, I'd like to make sure it would fit. Can someone with thi
Ten-Tec filters for sale - no longer need these. They work with Corsair I and II, Paragon I and II, Omni V, VI, VI+. Model 282 (250 Hz for 6.3 MHz IF, 6-pole) Model 285 (500 Hz for 6.3 MHz IF, 6-pole
Right Dave... there is a jumper that needs to be removed when an optional filter (250/500/1.8k) is installed, and installed when all optional filters are removed (that is, all excepting the 2.4k, whi

Hi Ron - the 250 Hz has been sold. Thanks, --Andrew _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
While I'm aware of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach, I still plan to replace all the electrolytic capacitors in my Corsair II before I put it back together following the PTO rebuild tha
Exactly... I was just waiting for people to start in on him. Let's try to help him learn. Have a look at his personal site and see what he and his XYL have done for others... now maybe extend the sam
Can someone provide me with a photo of the insides of a Ten-Tec SL-11R power supply? This is the rebadged Astron supply that was often seen powering the Scout 555. Thanks, --Andrew, NV1B .. _________
Correction - Ten-Tec model is 937. The Astron version was SL-11R. Either will do. _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com
All set folks; Thank you for taking the time to do this Dave - just what I needed. 73, --Andrew, NV1B _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://
I understand this group buy is for just the bare board. How would be PIC programming be handled? I wonder if response is slowed than desired because people would have to find or buy a PIC programming
Before I start trying to isolate the source of my Corsair II's PTO drift, I wonder if anyone has suggestions about possible causes. I'm making a couple assumptions: 1) the drift is due to temperature
Thanks Jerry - very helpful. The drift isn't so much a steady increase or decrease over extended time, but rather, both up and down frequency variation by +/- 100 Hz or so, within a span of several s
Bob, you are correct - I should clarify this is more of a jump than a steady drift. It wavers slowly, both plus and minus around the desired frequency. A fan blowing ambient air into the holes in the
Hi Jerry - While I can understand your frustration, in Ten-Tec's defense I don't think it's fair to publish a widespread complaint naming a specific employee about a specific incident. Expecting that
Understood. It's unfortunate that it ended up on the list. Mistakes happen. No hard feelings to you or Glenn or anyone else, I assure you, and I apologize if I sounded like I placed blame in places w
I and others had a similar problem on a K2. It's possible the spring tab inside the headphone jack has fatigued and broken. Probably just need to replace the jack. ___________________________________
