81. Re: [TenTec] Narrow signal on 28.027620 MHz (score: 1)

What you are seeing is NOT a very narrow CW signal, you are seeing a signal tuned by a very high harmonic of the receiver LO. If it was an analogue receiver sweeping past the 500 HZ IF filter while t

RS doesn't admit the number on line. Brighter alternatives (but not significantly more input power) with much shorter lives include the 1813 and 1892 rated for 1000 hours vs 15,000 for the 756. All t

I like my pair of FT-857D for VHF. I think the sensitivity rating of the Tentec 6N2 is about ten dB poorer than the real state of the art, but close to the performance of many Japanese radios though

Its not that simple. Going to lower inductance and higher capacitance nearly always means going to a higher loaded Q and that means greater circulating current to heat the coil and so can raise the l

High quality oscillators are available off the shelf for common frequencies like 10 or 27 MHz. Half a part per million holds an HF rig pretty good. A few years ago Luis CT1DMK published a programmabl

You could probably switch in a smaller attenuator outboard, but that wouldn't quiet the receiver's internal noise. Maybe its modular enough you could switch in an internal attenuator after the preamp

That has been reported on this forum in the past. Bad diodes upset the ALC. New diodes and it all worked great again. Sometimes the diodes were germanium, like 1N34A. One of the worlds lowest quality
