If RKR continues with TT operations, it returns TenTec to the old days of in house manufacturing. This looks very good to me. TT took care of problems with my 599 and now I'm happy with it. After car
Dave I really like that the 588 has ethernet for remote control. It has 5 filter slots instead of 3. It has an input for a separate receive antenna. It also has 100W 100% duty cycle. Cleaner transmi
With the keyer enabled, there is a continuous stream of dashes. I do not see 5V on the ring of the paddle connection. I do see 5V on the tip. If I ground the tip, alternate dot-dash results. If I pro
Aloha Barry! I'm in digest mode :-) Yes. Nothing plugged in. No continuity to ground on tip or ring. 5V on tip. If I ground the tip, I get the expected alternating dots and dashes. If I pull the ring
Charles, Not familiar with that particular VFO. For string drive, BOTH ends of the string must be under tension at all times or the string may slip in the direction away from the release of tension.
I do not know about the Omni VII but the Orion knob already weighs 6 ounces. It seems to have plenty of inertia. Take the friction off (hold trim ring and turn knob CCW) and a little spin will take i
Dear Rick, Have a look using the search term, "low drop out" regulator. Mouser and I'm sure the others have a wide selection. Specs are much better than the old three terminal jobs. 73, Bob ah7i/w4 _
It's a reasonable rate considering what everything else costs these days. There is always the DIY cost averaging approach. I just completed some repairs on my pickup truck. Parts cost $140. Cost to h
Demo is a good deal because it's been checked out twice! I would not sell my 599 for less than $1800. 6kc, 2.4kc, 300hz, NB, tuner. 73, Bob ah7i/w4 _______________________________________________ Ten
My 565 subRX board works fine but no audio. If anyone is looking for a project Orion 1, make offer. Too many higher priority projects here. 73, Bob ah7i/w4 ___________________________________________
I do not know how much trouble it would be. But, I sure would like to see an addition of revision level schematics to the on line manuals. If the Eagle is going to come back with any hardware revisio
I'm going to jump in on Eagle ergonomics. I like the controls and physical layout. But, if the thing is going to get reworked physically a big heat sink would be nice. Get rid of the fans! The Alda 1
Allan Perhaps I am missing something but, I do not see any difference between the 366 and the main board in the Eagle. 73, Bob AH7I With all this talk about how bad the Orion II is, I am wondering if
yes. 366 and main board in eagle look the same and have same pn for some revs. if you cannibalize an eagle...i might want some of the parts! 73, bob ah7i _____________________________________________
I'm working on a battery pack for SOTA with my Eagle. Have a mess of the 18650 Lithium Ion cells size from defunct laptop packs. Looking for rapid test procedure for Lithium Ion cells. Wonder if anyo

Sorry for copying the entire digest and not editing the subject. Everyday I grumble about people doing just that...and then I did it myself.... Looking for a tentec 10m to 2m transverter. will consid
Personally, I'd prefer service NOT be included in overhead. I don't want to pay more for something in order to subsidize those who desire or require service that I do not. Give me a 90 day(sufficient
SOTA. To my mind one needs TWO SOTA radios. One 5W-2-W, 40-6, up to 6lb or so,for the easy, < 6 mile RT day hike with a YL carrying the lunch and water and me carrying 20lb of radio, battery, and ant
