Hi, I'm very fortunate having several Ten-Tec radios. I use one for several weeks, then I put it aside, and use the next one for some more weeks. So I have this Scout that I have only used in 80/40,
Hi Gary, I measured the power generated in "tune" mode. I did not have a microphone or a key with me, but the low power issue appears in both SSB voice or with a key. QRG PWR I@12.5VDC 3700 10W 5.4A
Well, mistery solved. One of the two drivers (2SC2166) is crook. At least they are cheaper than the MRF455 finals. A popular auction site is plagued with counterfeits, it is too risky to buy there (I
Hi Dave, No spare panel here... but if you come across some control knobs please let me know as my Corsair II has non-original ones fitted. 73, Carlos VK1EA __________________________________________
Hi, I'm looking for an operator's manual for the the Scout. The schematics in the PDF file I downloaded from the web have some blurry bits, so I would like to have an original manual if possible. Ple
Hi Ken, Thanks for your email. My address is correct to calculate the postage, I'll contact you separately with my work address (the one I normally use to receive anything bigger than small letter) 7

Hi, I have been away from the hobby since July due to some serious work and family commitments but I'm getting back to my radios (finally !) So I have this Eagle that, every now and then, has very li

Thanks Rick, I want to modify the radio to connect an external RFSpace SDR-IQ as panadapter (I have both rigs synchronized with SDR-Console V3 but using different antennas) so I think I'll do both jo

Hi, I found the same issue when I bought my Argonaut VI, I posted about it here in the Ten-Tec list back then. In my case, it was (and still is, as I haven't fixed it) the audio amplifier. It might b

Hi, Fully agree with Bob's comments. Start with some good settings first because your radio might be perfectly fine. You can analyze the audio coming from the radio with a computer and a sound card.

Morning John, Can you: - measure the receiver's sensitivity, or - compare its sensitivity against another (good) receiver (if you don't have a signal generator then a weak interferer from the TV/comp

Hi Mark, Is your computer connected to the internet ? There is a way to prevent windows from overwriting your driver with something they deem better (without your consent). I did that in a computer..

Hi Steve, Is that capacitor visible without having to lift the PCB ? (unbolting driver/finals) Can you take a photo with your finger pointing to the part ? I left my schematics at the office so I hav

Hi Ron, Those are really difficult to find, I have been trying the same for years. Last week there was a guy selling a lot of Ten-Tec knobs (NOS) on ebay, but he would not post to VK. I think it was

Hi Bob, I would wire the encoder from radio B into radio A, without taking anything out of the radios (just fitting some short cables in between the two). Would it be possible to do that ? 73, Carlos

I think that printing a good resolution PDF will be cheaper/easier than buying an original manual. Keep an eye on the same site where you bought the kit. Have fun with the build. Carlos VK1EA _______

Hi, That sounds too hard for me. It is far from being complete, and these days getting parts has become too difficult as most radio parts from ham estates go straight to the tip. If there was a healt

Well, That parts Omni 6 shares some bits with your 6+, which is interesting. However, ask yourself how much a non - Ten-Tec enthusiast would pay for a non-functional, incomplete, discontinued, rare a
