A couple of my friends are preparing for an expedition for CQWW and are testing their config. They have 2x TS-590 transceivers and a pair of yagi antennas in close proximity of each other (about 75'
Replace one with a TR4C, replace the other with an SB102! ....Sorry, but I remember many years ago when I used to go to Field Day with K2LSA....around the late '70s, when all those old tube rigs were
Yeh, but you don't carry those on airplanes, Dave. I'm pretty sure they have bpf's, either ICE or Dundstar. I'm looking for specifics on the TS-590. Changing the transceivers will be an absolute last
I remember the thread, Rick... in part, because I started it. We had issues between four TenTec rigs and four Elecraft rigs. The single band, band pass filter was the only suggestion proffered at the
Yes, unfortunately equipment dings are a part of team contesting. My radios accumulated lots of dings and scuff marks over the years and the only payback was great memories and a couple of certificat
I am thinking that if these guys who are having trouble were to add a set of BP filters it would go a long ways towards keeping the front ends of the radios from going into gain compression. Plus if
I was reading the contesting section of the ON4UN low band DX'ing book and see that a pair of 1/4 wave stubs separated by a 1/4 wave of coax makes for a highly effective bandpas filter. If they have
Guys, I am thankful for every attempt to help, but.. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME I HAVE WRITTEN THAT **THEY ARE ALREADY USING BANDPASS FILTERS (BPF)**. They are either ICE or Dunestar, I didn't ask them whi
If the noise is broadband then it passes through the bandpass filters. I've found that notch type filters are typically more selective but more difficult to use. Thus is the better approach to use ba
Rick I have not read all on this topic that has been posted BUT could the noise be entering the 590 via the power supply? RF entering the DC supply could be rectified and enter the 590 and play havo
Question... why doesn't Bob, Rick or someone else post a query about all of this on the TS-590 Yahoo group? There are some technically-oriented folks on that group, and I thought that Rick was a memb
Hi Rick, That's one possibility, but currently I tend to believe it's a generic problem with the 590. Mind you, it is not me running the test, rather friends that are located about 200 miles away fro
I did not see the other posts regarding the bandpass filters. Have you considered taking this to the KenwoodTS-590 on yahoo? Or are you just wanting to bad mounth a kenwood on a ten-tec forum? 73, Do
My comment regarding bandpass filters and more specifically band reject filters applies to HF much like duplexers on a VHF repeater. A notch at the receiver frequency is inserted on the transmit side
That does not sound like good advice. Without more than your "memory" of a possible problem you sorta, but not really recall... that is a pretty draconian solution for what might be a simple problem.
We are simply asking for experience with the TS-590. I'm thinking the TS-590 is a random noise generator! After receiving information I have received (off-reflector) I honestly believe that. OK... p
James, I DON'T HAVE THE PROBLEM. One of my customers does, and he answers his emails once per day. My last email from him, yesterday, said he would bring in a K2 and TS-850 and try with those two rig
That does not sound like good advice. You obviously have no previous experience with EXACTLY this same problem. I have lots of experience with it and it was ALWAYS the radio. The problem began when t
Rick -- we need to take this off the TenTec list. It really does not belong here. Calling me names and measuring my purported ignorance is something we should slog out in private. And the bulk of the
As I mentioned to the original poster, the club I used to belong to operated Field Day out in some woods...in tents, since before I was born. I started with them as a novice in the '70s. For about te
