I am considering adding the autotuner to my Jupiter. My normal antenna for now is a G5RV with plans for getting my R-7 Vertical back on the air ASAP. Other than making me feel better, what is gained
The tuner is a MFJ- 949e rated at 300 watts. I have not been able to find the specs other than it is built to handle 300 W and will resonate most antennas. It has tuned antennas for me for a long tim
To return this to the original subject I started with After all the discussion, I decided to switch my tuner to bypass and see where I was and what happened while I was on a local 10M net. The answer
Jim, I have been considering the Yamaha Headset. Any experience with the Jupiter? My thinking is that a headset and a foot switch (already working) would be more convenient than dragging around the d

Jim, Thanks for the reply. I had known that Al Kahn had founded Electro-Voice. I wish I had the chance to talk with him. My dad was a huge electro-voice fan and he and his best friend from High Schoo
Jim, I suspect you are refering to my Dads friend, Bart Locanthi. They were best friends until the War, when they lost track of each other. My stepmother said that seeing the two of them together, it

Stuart. What you say makes sense. Does it also make sense to fan radials (4 to 6 at 20-30 ft in length?) off one end of the house. This would prevent discussions with neighbors. It is not clear to me
I have been having a similar issue with my Jupiter, and in fact it is home after recent TT service for the problem, but the problem still exists and as far as I have checked, exists on all bands I fi
Mike, Speaking of dinosaurs, while my Jupiter is in the shop, I am using an Argosy 525 (the original.) Have you had any experience with these? One of the others in my local net is reporting some kind
Scott, Thanks for the tip. What did you do, put a meter inline on the bias source? Ahhh The old "RTFM" still works. Instructions are right in the manual. Should I start by monitoring the driver bias

Scott, Thanks for the tip. I also am facing a mechanical problem. As you know, the PA and the SWR/Filter boards are vertically mounted in the back space. My Argosy has an aluminum spacer-reinforcemen
I have been able to move the back panel out enough to at least see the final amplifier board. I am trying to figure out a safe way to insert a ammeter into the power line to the final. Not there yet.
As a Jupiter owner, I have to live with a common control for AF & RF gain. It ain't that bad. Standard operation for me is to set the AF gain slight higher than would seem normal. Then switch to RF g
After considering several different approaches, I concluded that cutting the red lead at about the center of the run was both the easiest to access and easiest to repair. The deed is done. With a dum
Scott, Dave, And Ed, Thank you for the answers. the rig is an original Argosy S/N 00042 and I don't know what, if any, mods have been done to the rig. I did misread the instructions for the front pan
