101. RE: [TenTec] Solid State Amps (score: 1)
Author: "John Clifford" <johnclif@ix.netcom.com>

Refurbing an existing amp is not manufacturing, it is repairing. The door is wide open for someone to buy old basket-case amps, rebuild 'em, and resell them to amateurs. I've seen a couple of repair

There are plenty of computer system cooling fans available that run on 12VDC that have a thermistor so that fan speed (and noise) varies with the temperature (the fan's speed is proportional to the a

All of the cooling ideas are interesting... but the idea of the 150 ohm 25w resistor is probably the most practical. The poster of that message indicated that he had made temperature measurements sho

I dunno about the VI+, but the TX Audio board in the VI can be improved by replacing the factory crystal with more stable crystals. After I modified my VI/Opt1 with new BFO xtals and a TXCO upgrade I

Hello Ken, I'm not sure what you mean by 'lack of dit and dah memories' for the VI's internal keyer. The VI's keyer is not a memory keyer. Re the 'Keyer Speed' pot, it doesn't show on the schematics

Why not pick up a used Centaur? Basically the same amp as an 811H but with Ten-Tec quality, built-in QSK, and set up to work with all Ten-Tec rigs. You can pick up a pristine used one for $600 or un

Well... Sometimes there is bias (an opinion not backed up by objective fact) and sometimes there is truth. For example, just because everyone is sitting around at the local gun club complaining about

The amount of frequency change would also be interesting. You are assuming that the freq is shifting by the amount of the CW offset, but have you verified this? If this IS true, then you are NOT swit

If your Opt3 is using the crystal oven, then you can, as another poster pointed out, just leave the power supply on at all times (with the rig off unless it's being used). This will power the crystal

Hello Volker, First, do NOT use FSK mode for PSK. Use USB. FSK mode implies the use of the MARK and SPACE jacks on the back of the rig. Second, you will need to build an interface that uses a signal

Look thru the archives for the exact crystal numbers I used if you are upgrading an Omni VI, or VI Opt1 or 2. It's not just the crystal freq, it is also the ability to be able to 'bend' the crystal v

Well, the built-in tuner from Icom is nowhere near as capable as the LDG-supplied autotuner in the Jupiter. The Icom's tuner (I believe) only matches a 3:1 or better SWR, while the LDG will do 10:1.

What you could have done was to cancel your bid... if you knew about the shilling before the auction ended. THAT would really screw over the jerk. If I were you, I'd refuse to pay the higher price...

What needs to be done is this: Ten-Tec needs to rewrite/adapt their souce code so that it can be customized by the user. How? Perhaps by allowing the user to write various subroutines with published

The BFO oscillators don't drift on receive, but try transmitting for a minute or two using a full duty-cycle mode (like PSK) and watch your rig drift. Sure, it's within Ten-Tec specs and you'll never
