[TenTec] Question....way out there.....

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

Pepe,
 
There are many others on the reflector who could give a more detailed and accurate answer... but the simple answer is "Yes."


Although it may be more like "Yes, but..."


Yes, the company is open for business and is busy right now.
But, they are still gearing up some things due to the... circumstances during the later half of 2015 and it's effects on the operation, under the previous ownership/management.


The new ownership has asked for some patience as everything is coming back.  Again, I don't know all the details and I don't want to speculate, but clearly, some things were done that must now be undone.  Neither of which could happen overnight.


All we can do is be patient.  I know it's tough... I for one am anxiously awaiting the return of the Omni VII to production (even if it is as the O7+) so that I can acquire something for mine.  The wait can be frustrating, but all we can do right now is wait.


Hang in there!

Is TenTec open for business? Don’t see much at all in their home page except prices for service & repair, and future plans that don’t seem to materialize.

Chas,

I'm sure if you listen to it on a separate receiver, you will find it is
chopping off the first dit, or at least a part of it. But the receiver
needs to be farther away so that it doesn't hear the QRP signal operating
into no antenna for the first 15ms.

>From the instant RF hits the 405, it still takes about 15mS for the relay
to switch.

With 3w, not much will happen to the relay contact.
If it were switching 100w, you would soon burn the contacts.

Hi John-

I use the vintage TT 405 amp often with my TT 539.
It works great if you accept that the combo is not quite full QSK (the 405
T/R delay can be adjusted down to what I would call "semi break-in").
The Argo VI is a fine little radio.
