Al, I don't use the built in recorder for either CW or voice. I'm mostly CW, and everything I need recorded is in the keyer or the computer. 73 Pete Allen AC5E -- Never squat with your spurs on
Lee, it depends on where I am. Most of the time I either use the Vibroplex Brass Racer that's plugged straight into the Orion or hit an F key on the computer keyboard and let the logging program drop
Well, I have both a '275H and an FT-736R that I could put on line. But since the 6n2 made its appearance it's been the primary 6 and 2m rig here. It seems to hear everything the other two do - a bric
Jeff, since you use the ARRL forwarding service, virtually all the specs of any interest are on the Members only pages. For a former owners viewpoint, it's a good rig with plenty of DX and contesting
I prefer to hear the lows myself. So I got in the habit of setting the PBT at 11:00 for LSB, 1:00 for USB. This provides a much more full low end without overdoing the treble cut. The first speaker I
Steve, it seems to me the Ten Tec forum is as appropriate as any. If no one has a job nobody buys radios. And if wages go way down companies that make radios in a country where a plant supervisor mak
Well, the last time I was around the Matagordo country the mosquitoes were about big enough to fly away with small children. And according to rumor did fly away with a couple of wash pots. So I do un
Well, about 60 years ago I was told to keep open wire at least 4X it's own width from anything metallic. With the quibble that I have used very short loops of WELL insulated wire to secure the line t
Well - before I get lost trying to make an individual reply again I guess I will just reply to the list. Jason, I understand the ladder lock will work quite well, although I have never used one mysel
Well, you learn something every day. But I 'spect my first Elmer, Old Hardman, would have a good belly laugh about twisting the line to keep it balanced. Back in '47 we were told that the two halves
Well, I am in the midst of moving so have serious antenna problem. The good beam is fixed on Africa and I don't feel like changing the rotor only to move tower and all this summer - the 30 Meter dipo
Both E-ham and Contesting.com failed to load last night. This is not the first time so I assume something has happened to the server. The reflector seems still to work - so we will have to see what w
Torrey, the 9V line is to provide voltage for the mike preamp. So you don't have to use a 9V transistor battery with the 705 - the 706 comes with no provisions for a battery. Speaking of 705's most o
One thing that is perhaps missed in discussing all the new "world beater" radios coming out in the future is the increased headroom it gives potential competitors, both present and future. It's a who
Yuri, my Alpha Delta DXCC (all I have room for until the new house is finished) runs directly over my operating position and the Orion at less than 20 feet up. The GAP voyager is less than 30 feet aw
Back about 1990 I discovered the Titan was a lot less cranky with a Radio Works current balun between the Paragon and the amp. Since then I have made a habit of putting one at TX antenna jacks of eac
Well, Rob, if your point is everyone should check their audio - and their signal generally - on all bands I agree with you. One of the local hams delights in giving "bad audio" reports and lives far
Well, growing up in "tornado alley" and then living in the real "tornado capitol of the world," I have had a LOT of experience with nature's sparks. Maybe I'm paranoid but I don't like to lose equipm
