[TenTec] Need a TT 311 Band Decoder

[GARY HUBER]

Happy New Year Dave!

I'm 66 and do not want to build surface mount when I can avoid it. My band 
decoder uses a board assembly from United Microsystems (about $20) and DIP 
relays mounted on a project board. You do need N1MM or a logging program 
which can send array data to a parallel port to the decoder board which then 
pulls in the proper relay to put voltage on the correct cable pin.

It sounds like you have the experience, desire, and need to build a decoder 
if you can't find a 311. If you have to build and have questions, drop me a 
line... I can call you on Skype or set a sked if needed.

Gary,

Thanks for the reply.



I do have a schematic of the 311, so I can build one if necessary. Of 
course, the most difficult part will be cross-referencing all the surface 
mount compononts to 'real' parts. At age 68, there's a bit of tremor showing 
up in the hands, and I'd rather build it the old way.



I have a TT Herc II (actually 2 of them) that I used with my old Omni VI+'s. 
The second remains with my 2nd Omni VI+.

I like the amp and use it with my Orion II. I just want to be lazy and never 
forget to change bands. The 311 is the ideal choice.



If I do build, that will go behind a couple of other projucts that are on 
the bench. (there's an RX antenna preamp and filter, an SO2R digital 
interface for CW & FSK RTTY on my Orion II & Omni VII, 2 Omni D's that need 
major work and some other projects). Not complaining, if I didn't love it, I 
wouldn't do it



I run N1MM as both a daily and a contest logger. I could have it send band 
data for the amp. Oh, yeah, I plan to do that to switch antennas if I ever 
get to it



Anyway, I'll reread your item on the Wiki & see what works out



Again, thanks for the reply.

Dave,

Depending upon what you are interfacing with,  you may be able to use a 
decoder similar to the one I built to drive my 253 Antenna Coupler. See

I need a TenTec 311 Band Decoder and the cable that shipped with it. Anybody 
got a spare or one they're not using

I can pay via PayPal, personal check (yeah, I know I'll have to wait for it 
to clear) or USPS MO

Thanks & HNY
