Hiya fellas, I'm Craig Roberts, W3CRR, near Washington, DC. I've been active ham - on and off, anyway - for over 35 years. My first "off-the-shelf" rig was a Ten Tec PM-2 followed fairly soon thereaf
Good morning, N4PY or Callsign software for my "new" Pegasus? Whaddya think? Also, I've been warned about the rig's RF vulnerability. My shack is on the second floor of my house -- a long way from an
Hooray! My "new" Pegasus arrived today and I'm very pleased. This thing's as much fun as my very first rig almost 40 years ago (and works a helluva lot better). After setting the rig up (ten minutes,
I'm an old broadcaster and like hearing smooth, rich audio. I also like to transmit it. So, what specific microphones have sounded the best with the Jupiter/Pegasus rigs? I'm currently using the Mode
Thanks Carl. My Heil Classic should do well, then. I'm loving your Pegasus software, by the way. It's my second day with it and I'm still like a little kid on Christmas with my "new" rig and your gre
My ungrounded Pegasus / 706 mike combo suffered from RF gobbledygook (to use tech jargon) until I attached a 1/4 wavelength single wire radial for each band of operation to the rig ground post. I als
I've been attempting to run my broadcast audio chain into my Pegasus with limited success. I'd been informed, variously, that the mike input to the Ten Tec rig was low impedance - balanced (which is
My problem is (almost) solved. Rather than using the "moderately high" 10K-50K mike input on the Pegasus from my studio audio chain, I simply hooked it up through the Accessory jack pins 1 (+ audo) a
Taking a very simple, experimental approach first, I fed the output of my audio chain (Neumann BCM-705 mike & Ashly DPX-200 pre-amp/parametric EQ/compressor/limiter) directly into the Accessory audio
I should have mentioned that Bob, K4TAX, was absolutely correct in his broadcast chain to mike input methodology presentation. My experiment -- by matching levels and impedances into the line level i
Several people have asked what my voiceover studio/ham shack looks like so I've posted a photo on my website at www.aerialacts.com/W3CRR_0306.jpg. The Pegasus and its computer buddy are underneath th
As I mentioned last week, I chose to purchase an LDG Electronics AT-200PC external automatic antenna tuner for my Pegasus (the older internal tuner is no longer available). I received the tuner last
An ex-Pegasus (now FlexRadio) user has told me that he attenuated RF feedback from an antenna in close proximity by bypassing his mike input line to chassis ground with a 100 uH RF choke. Has anyone
Actually, my question was a facetious one that I thought would inspire a smile or two. I thought Bill's "must be a CW only guy" comment was the best retort. If my new friend wasn't a CW-exclusive ope
Hi Bob, Yup, the comment was tongue in cheek. The contact wit the RF choke advice was one of those blustery "I know quite a bit about everything" types. I did agree with him that his method would cer
As some of you know, I'm an old broadcaster who's downright anal about good audio -- especially when I run AM. My shack is, literally, an audio production studio with a Pegasus stuck on the end. Sinc
Headphones I use: Mono (for my good ole Drake TR-7): Califone 2924AV (www.califone.com). These are the cans you used in high school language lab. They're comfortable, sound good and darned near bulle
During these times of uncertain -- and often crappy -- HF propagation (try tuning around today), I think it'd be keen to get on 6 meters (where I started 40 years ago) with my Pegasus. I was going to
Yeah? You think you're getting old, Reed? For land's sake and Heavens to Betsy, I'm the guy who USED the word! 73, Craig W3CRR _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenT
