I thought the HB1B was made in China, and TecTec was selling it under their label. If I remember correctly, some months back, there was a note on the list that TT would soon sell the HB1B in the US.
Guys You were probably blessed with good looks. When I was younger, i had to wear thick glasses; made me look ugly. That, and being broke most of the time, made it easy to escape from the ladies. No
Chris Does the wattmeter go to 2 KW? Are you willing to sell it separately? If So, for how much? Can you ship? Ron K3MIY k3miy@csonline.net -- This mail sent through CSOnline Webmail http://webmail.c
Ron Check the power supply trip voltage pot. Is the voltage above about 15 volts? It may need adjustment. Ron K3MIY -- This mail sent through CSOnline Webmail http://webmail.csonline.net ____________
Jim is correct, as is Stuart. I, and others, know of properly terminating an audio input to avoid ground loops and potential RFI. Usually this is done by the input device(mike, amp etc). In a test si
Kim First, is the external tuner auto or manual? If it is manual, and you get a 1:1 match on an independent wattmeter, John and the beta testers have another problem to fix. Second, did you try a dif

Congratulations on the first try, Jim! I did the same thing on two hours sleep, and a 20 mile drive to the test site. Not bad for being half blind, half deaf and 40% crazy. Have fun. BTW I thought ev

Hi Kim The S meter WOULD move! It would go to S-7, assuming correct calibration. Fifty microvolts=S-9 is the calibration standard. Ron K3MIY -- This mail sent through CSOnline Webmail http://webmail.
Quoting kc9cdt@aol.com: Wonder if different mfgs have different standards? All of the manuals I read on calibration of RX gave 50uv as S-9 correct calibration. Ron K3MIY -- This mail sent through CSO
You're right, Ray. In the old days, the S meter was regarded as a tuning aid, and nothing else. Ron K3MIY Quoting Rsoifer@aol.com: -- This mail sent through CSOnline Webmail http://webmail.csonline.n
James and others I don't think the s meter is at the antenna input. It's usually in the IF circuit. TenTec worked a way to extract signal from the noise, and measure it. If you think about it, that's
