For you Centaur owners, here is something from Bernie, W3UR. If you're interested, please respond to him: To: <tentec@contesting.com> . . . snip . . . . . . snip . . .
Tim, Shhh! Don't tell anyone! The Omni has been the secret of us TT users for a long time. If you ever contest, it will blow you away with its selectivity also, assuming you have the 500 Hz and/or 25
I've thought about this a long time and have decided to part with my Schurr Profi 2. This is a beautiful key in new condition. Magnificently hand made in Germany of solid brass. I'm not currently usi
Mark, Quite often, metal roofing is not electrically bonded well from one section to the next. So, your results may be good or very bad. I tried it once on an old farm house with a flat metal roof on
OK, I wasn't going to chime in, but the replies are running 10:1 in one direction. I was surprised how nice the Centurion looks in black. I have the two-tone grey Omni VI+ and 238 tuner, and used to
I have a safer idea for logging while mobile. Purchase an inexpensive mini-tape recorder. I have been using one now for a couple of years and it's much easier than trying to write while driving (don'

For my 2 cents - the difference between a 563 and a 564 (VI and VI+) is not only some construction practices, and possible circuit improvements, but more importantely it gives a rough indication of t
Just started in NAQP and am having a repeat of a problem I saw in the RTTY NAQP that I thought was antenna-related. It's not. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction since finding my way t
Thanks, Carl - tried that last weekend - no help (I have an Alpha 99 in the loop, so took it out and replaced with the jumper - no help). Tried master and regular resets, also no help. It's back oper
Just got my September 2002 issue of QST, and I see two TenTec stations in different photos, one of them in a prominent position. The prominent one is on p. 90, the 2002 ARRL RTTY Roundup Results - it
Don't know if I ever posted the paint color that I found matches the Delta 580 cabinet in case someone else needs it. I'm not sure what color the cabinet was originally as the one I had was painted b
Stuart, I also have a stack of the Ten-Tec "newspaper" (from Dayton & HamCom) to make available at Austin Summerfest. The DX program will be terrific, as usual, and is sponsored again by the Central
Eric, I noticed that the Orion had the tuning speed set extremely high (one rotation took me a good way through the 20m band! I didn't mention it to Scott, but it probably should have been slowed dow
Since I believe these are roofing filter options, many users will never need another filter. Expect to need them if you're planning to use the rig for multi-multi contesting, or if you have lots of v
Isn't inrush protection for filaments more or less incidental in designs that use a single transformer?. Not that I'm an expert on it, but if you check the handbook or other amp designs, it's usually
Why? Having the tuner inline when it's not really needed is just adding loss. Since the TT amps have no problem driving 100w output into SWR's of 2:1 or less, why incur power loss in the matching cir
