RE: [TenTec] v1369 ??

["Richard Detweiler" <rdetweil@hotmail.com>]

Hello all,

Thanks for the many replies,

I used the radio last night on 40M and 160M with no errors,  and no sweep 
except for short periods to see if I had any neighbors.  Made contact with 
Dominica on Both 40M and 160M, just in few minutes of casual listening. a 
real pleasure to work with this radio.  Learning only with AGC threshold so 
far.  Got the PC interfaces connected last night, Now I have to start 
learning how to use all the gadgets on it.  NB, NR, NOTCH, AN and stuff,

Would like to see a Note on the manual about sweep problems,

My previous rig was the OMNI D, would like the slow QSK feature as on that 
one,  Or better yet,  an old fashion PTT that sets the 'T' line in the 
schematics.



Thanks
Richard.
