Thank you Jerry and also Gary for the copy of the manual. Looking at the boards in the manual it seems straight forward to find the board. Finding the "problem" unless there is a nicely burned out gi
Good evening, I am still fiddling and pondering the observations on this problem. Gary's observation means that no matter the band the input impedance is the same except for the "intervention" of the

I should have asked. Does anyone have this exact problem on their 411 with a TT solidstate exciter? If not, then I have a problem that is unique and not "standard." Kris KM2KM Merschrod 123 Warren Ro
Good evening Mike and Duane, I have tried two different alternatives to the short coax 1) 3 foot #213, and 2) 25 feet or so of RG 58, and not a bit of change in the SWR. I havbe not tried the whittli

Good afternoon everyone who has been feeding me solid possible fixes. No solution yet. This AM I decided to focus on the inside of the AMP instead of outside fixes. So it is on the bench, opened up,
Ok, Bill, I bought my rig new in the 1990s in spite of the crummy review in QST because I read and believed TenTec's write up and in spite of the idea that the imported rigs had great features at les
Good afternoon, The problem seems to have been the input filter, exactly why I have not figured out. I pulled that filter and put a jumper in its place and "bingo" no SWR on 40 (or the other bands) a
Good morning all, Recall that my problem was that on 40 meters there was a 3:1 SWR between the exciter and the AMP. I figured that it was the input filter and pulled it - end of problem. I received a
IMHO this subject is not "off." I'd guess that if we all "hang in there" until we can't tap a key or hang onto a MIC, then we are all going to need some assistance with this delicate work. My favorit
The casting rod is the way to go - 2-3OZ weight, nice nylon line, and then haul up a heavier cord. The nylon slides through the branches better than cord. BTW, if you miss the exact place that you wa
I, too have been drawn into the QSO here. If you use the US currancy inflater at : http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ Then at $700 in 1978 the Titon would be $2,343 today. So T-T is running at the
Amen, again to Mike's commentary on the deadly reviews. I still have my Delta II and hauled it all over Latin America on jobs. I love it. QST reviewers gave the Delta II a bad review. The Argo model
Gary raises the question. The Cosair $1940 in 1988 and inflates to $3580 in present dollars. BUT, Joe provides the answer. Instead of "controlling for technology" (or gzimos) which is like comparing
Just a another blast from the past. Looking over my Drake R-4C sensitivity at .25uV across the ham bands and then the Eagle at .5uV and my heart glows like the R-4C cool blue dial. That being said, p
Stuart has a point, I have a Delta II with 48 memories and I have not had enough favorite places to go to fill them (and I have dedicated five to the 60 meter band). I confess that I am impressed wit
A year or two ago Steve Rudin, W1WSN and I explained our approaches to "Overcoming Antenna Restrictions" in QST. It takes some luck, social graces and time, but it can be done. I dare say though, the
