181. [TenTec] Scout,Omni,TS 850 transmit (score: 1)

Well 50 watts is 3 dB down from 100 watts, but a -25 dB third order intermod product is still 3 dB up from the third order intermod product from a 100 watt radio doing -31 dB third order intermod. An

So dig into microphone or radio and find an audio coupling capacitor in the transmitter. Take it out and put on in that is half its size. That will double the roll off frequency for the bass. Close t

I think he meant that the tuning slowed though the knob turned OK. But if you are going to apply OIL, apply OIL, not distilled kerosene! Water Displacer number 40 is not a permanent or quality lubric

Soldering isn't a tough task if done properly with good tools. Poking around a radio with poor tools and techniques can turn a fixable radio into trash. The Heathkit assembly manuals had a good secti

Tentec designed the Omni V, and VI (and I don't know about the Paragon) with the synthesizer at VHF and divided it down to reduce the phase noise. Its not perfect but its better than most rice boxes

DDS can be good close in and when not stretched too far, but DDS is not at all clean, there are so many spurs it usually takes a PLL (with the attendant noisy VCO) to act as a spur filter. I'm going

The DDS has outputs at DC + desired frequency and clock - desired frequency of equal amplitude. Then there can be many others depending on the quality of the D/A and the number of bits in the D/A and

On the 1209 that I built from a kit, the second gate bypass capacitor for the RF stage needed soldering on the component side of the board to get a good ground connection. Without that the double gat

Lift off the cover. Tighten the PC board mounting screws. If that doesn't work, try heating and cooling major sections of the synthesizer part of the radio to identify temperature sensitivity. Look f

You need a much smaller pot. Your TNC output is 250 times what the radio needs, and the maximum output from your divider is 25 times what the radio needs. Modern import pots don't do a good job of go

I checked the PA of the 1209 that I built a couple years ago. It was still working with full gain and full power output at 10 MHz (lowest I had a decent calibrated signal generator at the time). The

Using the 1208 transverter takes a lot less engineering. The low IF of the Scout could make keeping down mixer products a significant pain. There's no need for extended coverage on 6m, like Shawn say

It works, though there may be a half dB of resistive loss, depending on the tuning. Might even be a bit more. I have had no problems using insulated 12 gauge stranded house wire for an inverted V in

Actually I find soldered connections with good copper antenna parts tend to corrode open in time. A really good mechanical connection with electromotive force compatible materials lasts far longer in

B&W broad banded folded dipoles are little more than a leaky dummy load. Often as much as 20 dB down from a dipole. The secret matching box is nothing but a power resistor. I'd rather use a tuner and

The problem is that the IF is 9 MHz, the output is 18 MHz so the oscillator for the simple hardware scheme is 9 MHz. Trouble is that the second harmonic of the oscillator will be stronger than the mi
