[TenTec] it just depends

[ktnjoe]

Hi All. I am new to this group.  A lot of this is above me, but then a lot
of things are.  I do have a couple questions.  I bought an Argonaut 509, New
many years ago.  The tuning mechanism is frozen up, any Ideas on how to free
it.  Also, I bought a Corsair II from TT about 10 years ago.  the digital
readout out wont change. the last digit will change 4 or 5 units up and
down.  I am sure I will have to send both to TT but thought I would try.

Mike:  Thanks for the story, re Ten Tec.  I remember well using qsk with a
Johnson TR switch, Valiant II and Drake 2B early on in my career.  B4 that
it was a separate antenna and ride the rf gain on the receiver.
That was terrific for traffic handling on 80, but then the dx bug hit and tr
switch made all the difference.

I just "re-acquired" a Johnson Valiant II.  It is going on 160 AM...never
did get on AM with the original Valiant.  No need to put it on cw with the
Ten Tec's on the table.

Some of us are slow learners....in almost 40 years being a ham, it took me
35 to discover Ten Tec.  Glad you found them earlier than I.  I am now a
happy user of both Corsair and Orion.

Again, thanks for the story.  73 bob de w9ge
