How about taking the picture at dusk? Kim N5OP Rick, if you have any way to minimize/block the light coming through that window, do so. You need to either: 1. put your camera into manual exposure mod
I've heard all sorts of variations on "burn-in." Is the appropriate burn-in different for thoriated tungsten cathodes vs. oxide cathodes? What's an authoritative recommendation? Kim N5OP It has alway
Ah, yes! That much I'm familiar with. For example, the older 3-500z anodes had zirconium on their exterior surface that acts as a getter when it's hot enough (glowing red). W8JI's pages are excellent
I think that's a bit unfair to Jim. I know he's a big boy, now, and can fight his own battles. Still, read carefully what he wrote and you'll see that he doesn't claim authorship of anything. He clai
I have an OII that has been updated with V3.026 and so far have no issues, except... Now I notice that my SWR indication is off on 10 m. When I look into a dummy load, all bands save 10 m sees the SW
Note that this probably is NOT related to the V3 firmware -- I simply don't know why the SWR indication would be different on 10 m, but just dandy on 12 and all other bands. N5OP Now I notice that my
Does that mean that you see something strange, too? I'm on 3.026 with my O II and I can't believe this is a software issue unique to 10 m. I'm simply curious as to what it may be. The internal tuner
While I suppose that's a possibility, it makes no sense that this appears only on 10 m and not 12 m. Of course, the tuner can be bypassed -- doing so makes no difference. I bypassed the internal tune
I had noticed the dependence on power level before and thought it odd. I've also noticed that it didn't seem all that accurate compared to an independent meter. Is the reflectometer used for the inte
There are many different connectors out there for various applications: BNC, TNC, SMA, SMB, NMO, T, C, N, B, SO-series, F-series, etc. The TMP connector is the miniature push-in connector all over th
Aha! I couldn't figure out where the designation came from, I only knew what it was. And, I should have said "since 20-30 years agin" in my reply since they have become even more common since their i
Hot dog! Congratulations! Now, go use the dickens out of it! 73, Kim N5OP Gonna fire up the Omni and get back on the air ! Happy trails. -- Richards - K8JHR/AE -- ____________________________________
And once I learn the Code, then I will be a "real" ham. Oh, pshaw! This is a bit (OK, a lot) OT, but... While I love CW (part of what drew me to TenTec -- there, I worked TT into this) and CW constit
This is funny because the only time my wife requests I use headphones is when I use RTTY or one of the other digital modes, except for CW. The kids, on the other hand... Kim N5OP
Note that you can try the new version and, if you don't like, it, easily revert back to your old version. In either case, you'll have to write down your settings so that you can reload them. That's t
Now I'm puzzled. If the problem is noise/distortion from an offending transmitter, no amount of filtering in the rx will help that. If the transmitter is radiating in the rx pass and, the transmitter
I'm dubious that this is a rx problem unless you have verified it some how with either a different rx, a different tx or (perhaps best) a spectrum analyzer. Whenever i have experienced what you descr
Now that's interesting. It doesn't work on my O II, however. Anyone know if there's an equivalent trick with the O II? Kim N5OP AL7CR _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing li
