Hi gang,
Well, after a couple of frustrating days, I seem to have
all up and operating as per intented! Thanks to Carl, N4PY,
who built the necessary interface boxes as well as doing
the software -- all ready to go for me on disks.
Even with my poor vision ( and enough light, hi), I was able
to follow Carl's several pages of carefully prepared
instructions getting all the needed interconnections. And,
thanks again to WA3FIY who suggested a simple work
around to mate the 962 to the Peg minus the Ten Tec
308 adapter. After a couple of trips to the Kauai Radio Shack
(which is well stocked for the size market it can serve),
I had all the bits needed. The external speaker for the
Pegasus works very well for CW sidetone and the dual
rcv function when doing split/dual DX chasing. Found a
nice RCA speaker at RS which looks very nice sitting
beside the Peg unit.
A couple of emails to Carl after I had all connected, but
still a couple of glitches, solved even those -- and the
system is now fb!
I actully had one QSO last night on 40 meters, so stuff
works! The timing if fine, no problem using the Ameritron
QSK-5 switch (which is a linear amp relay saver!). And
the linear gets along fine with the equipment.
Now, I have an enourmous amount of reading to perform!
Carl has admonished me that I MUST read the various
instruction .doc files as well as the TT Pegasus manual;
otherwise, I would never find all the neat goodies included
in this wonderful system. I have had a bunch of fun fooling
around with the various "virtual" buttons, sliders, and
whatnots.
So after a time, I will post my "review" of this great software
defined 21st Century amateur radio station!
73, Jim KH7M
