I've downloaded the 565, 566, and 420 manuals plus the data sheet for a UDN2982A and read the band connector data in the Tentec manuals. The outputs of the Orions is a low, one wire per band. Its ope

Contact and switch cleaning is MUCH more effective with a contact cleaner like DeoxIT from Cramolin than by mere abrasion. It just takes a fraction of a drop per contact and its not a good idea to so

RF power takes big relays. Big relays have lots a mass in motion and it makes a bang when it hits the contacts and stops. Some relays make more noise than others, and the mounting can easily amplify

At your stage in learning you don't want the distraction of QSK. Not one bit. Turn QSK off, let the TR change twice per transmission (beginning and end). Then the noise won't bother you. I assure the

The 1N4007 because of its high voltage rating is a PIN diode. That makes it a little bit better RF switching diode than a 1N4148 silicon high speed diode. It is very rugged which is an advantage, it

If they are all in the receive line, most any PIN diode will work better than the 1N4007. Need only enough reverse bias capability to handle the transmit voltage. RF parts has a screen full of PIN di
