I purchased a Ten Tec model 1208 20M-6M transverter in a 3/4-assembled state from the estate of a local ham. It's been working perfectly here, but I am using my Argonaut for the driver, and would lik
Hi Mike. Keith here in the Depths of the Great Bergen Swamp in WNY... If I were asked to QRO, I wouldn't be able to comply. The 5 watt level I run is the only level I have. I could QRP further, eithe
Hi Mike. Here's the description, longer than necessary, but that's normal for me :-) 80 & 40 are covered with fanned dipoles, inverted vees really. What I started out with back in the CNY area in the
Greetings from the Depths of the Great Bergen Swamp of WNY. I am aquiring a Scout 555 from the estate of a ham in BARK, Virgil, KF2XT, and want to convert it to an Argo 556. changing out 3 parts on t
I just picked up a Scout from an estate, and the power (on CW) is low, about 15 watts, and the note is about a T-7. My first tought was the power supply, but it checked out fine, and the rough note a
The consensus is the "Power Set" pot, so that's going to be the first part attacked. It's not a case of the "Golden Screwdriver". According to what I was told, Virgil only got on the air about 3 time
Yep! It was the pot (R-21) on the LLD/ALC board. Ten Tec is sending me a replacement part as the local suppliers didn't have anything with the same "footprint" on hand. Now, my only question is "If I
Sorry to the majority of the List, but my QRP leanings caught on the edge of this thread... First off, which is correct, the Bird or the Rig? I don't recall the tolerance on a Bird 43 (I haven't used
Has anyone tried the Ten Tec ransverters, either 6 or 2 Meters with the Kenwood TS-520S? I have found that keeping the power down to 5 watts PEP isn't easy, so I would be looking to make the input at
It must be a New Years-type of thing. The rumors are circulating about Yaesu buying out Tne Tec, keeping the enclosures and Mil-Spec lines here, and moving everything else out to the Far East... One
Thanks for the note, Jim , and others... Most of the negative comments had "NETCOP" written all over them. The rest, and some of the "NETCOP" ones had an anti-SSB slant to them. Especialy with my men
My Ten Tec Digest V1 #92 came thru chopped in half. I got it up to the point where MArty Watt's post for the Argo 4Sale ended, and TextHash from that point on. Can I get the digest resent to me? TIA,
I am getting reports that my audio on SSB sounds "Fuzzy with shot noise on it..." Listening with a separate RX (thru a 2 Meter link from 1 1/2 miles down the road) it sounds like RF floating in with
Well, after all else failed to help, I wired the cord for a Shure 444 dynamic mike, and the problem went away. This got me thinking that the problem must have been RF into the electret condenser mike
I am looking for 3 modules for the Argo/Scout, as listed below: 1 - 160 Meter 2 - 17 Meter 3 - 12 Meter I am expecting delivery of the Argo this coming week, and have the "standard" HF bands with it,
After a few questions about the Argo vs the Scout for QRP, I looked in the manual and think that a mod to make the Scout switchable would actually be quite simple and elegant... By comparing the Main
I hope this isn't a dupe, but I was just told that the address to post to changed while I was out of town the last couple of weeks... Keith, WB2VUO == After a few questions about the Argo vs the Scou
Back in my Navy days, I had the privilege (???) of being shipped to the Armpit of the Indian Ocean, NAVCOMMSTA Diego Garcia, which was a GREAT DX location, but had nothing else to its advantage. I to
Here in the Depths of the Great Bergen (NY) Swamp, the VHF propagation is iffy at best, but the HF bands SHINE!!! Lou Kline, KA2DQA lives about another 1 1/2 miles into the Swamp, and we both used to
