I'm dubious that this is a rx problem unless you have verified it some how with either a different rx, a different tx or (perhaps best) a spectrum analyzer. Whenever i have experienced what you descr
I think it's a Yeasu ft-1000 MK V but I could be all wet. Kim N5OP _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listin
I've heard all sorts of variations on "burn-in." Is the appropriate burn-in different for thoriated tungsten cathodes vs. oxide cathodes? What's an authoritative recommendation? Kim N5OP It has alway
Ah, yes! That much I'm familiar with. For example, the older 3-500z anodes had zirconium on their exterior surface that acts as a getter when it's hot enough (glowing red). W8JI's pages are excellent
On rare occasions I hear pulse type noise here, though rarely (thank goodness). I find that the software noise blanker usually works at a very low setting (1 or 2). Sometimes, however, it doesn't qui
FWIW, before I buy a USB-serial converter, I check out Newegg reviews. A lot of times, I will see mention of which OS supports the unit along with notes about how someone found a driver for Win 7 or
I tried this with my OII, think that I must have missed something. I simply never see the S-meter drop and then rise as I decrease RF gain. Of course, it will drop if I turn off the preamp, but not a
Wait a minute... By way of example, do you mean to say that if I injected a 50 uV signal into the antenna terminals of the OII I'd see an S9 indication and that if I then selected 12 dB of attenuatio
Yes, it can be done that way, but is it? I have not noticed this on my OII. When I crank in attenuation, I see the S-meter reading drop. I do NOT see this when I decrease the RF gain -- rather I see
You should be able to set it to any port number you want. Do you really have *23* serial devices connected?! Yikes! Kim N5OP _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec

I got a box for my O II that has a DIN plug that goes into my rig. It plugs into tje navk of the rig and breaks everything out to RCA jacks. When I get home I'll look up who makes it. Kim N5OP ______
The break-out box I use is an LDG RCA-14 and it works well. Makes using the DIN plug on the back of the O II much more convenient. Kim N5OP _______________________________________________ TenTec mail
I think that you did get some useful information to pass on to your friend. The most useful is that this will be no walk in the park. Your friend must be meticulous and methodical and be prepared to
Agreed -- This probably isn't as bad as even a very-low end lightning event (what the lightning people call a "streamer"). I experienced one of those with an O II (the one tested by the League) and i
Great! CW is a fun mode. While filters are expensive, if you have the ability, buy both. Having them will give you the opportunity to learn just how to use them to dig signals out of tough conditions
I believe that John Henry has posted that the rx-366 DOES WORK as a gc rx. HOWEVER, specifications apply ONLY to the Amateur bands. 73, Kim N5OP _______________________________________________ TenTec
I like your call, Jerry! My Dad was W5JHJ, now an SK. I own and operate a TT O II. There, obligatory TT content inserted. That said, I didn't use my O II in FD this year and there were no TT rigs at
I'll pop this out here to see if anyone has any good explanations for what I experienced. As I said in a prior post, I proudly produced my freshly aligned, roofing-filter equipped, vintage (high seri
Hi Al, Maybe apples and organges and may not be! I'm at a loss. We used a standard, old-fashioned rotary AC alternator, probably 8-10 kW or so. It's not a DC-AC inverter type, so I expect that it mak
