Y'all,
I just became a new owner of an Argonaut 505, the very first Argonaut and my first Ten Tec rig. It came with the model 210 power supply. I am noticing a 120 Hz hum on the transmitter note on CW and a corresponding hum on the SSB signal when I run the rig from the 210. When I power it from a battery there is no hum. It is most noticable on 40 meters which is where the local oscillator is tripling, and I don't see a hum on the wave-envelope with my HP1740A 100 mHz oscilloscope. So it may be FM on the local oscillator.
I would appreciate first of all a circuit diagram for the 210 power supply, and then of course any suggestions about what to do. It is a really fun little rig when I run it from the battery.
Thanks,
Jim Hanlon, W8KGI
