Al, I expect that what you propose would work, but suggest that it would work even better wit a wire at least a quarter wavelength or longer at the lowest frequency, and longer will work even better.
Al, While a solid variable signal generator is a great asset, I have a URM-25, but it isn't exactly trouble free or "small footprint", I also have an Elecraft XG-1 "S-meter calibrator. It puts out an
Hey, they're nothing compared to the "band modules" for my HRO-60! I might need to add a room on to the house for those puppies! <g> In fact for mobile operation the modules are a lot smaller than th
The classic SSB-AM signal was that generated in the Collins KWS-1 of 1956. I agree, it's not exactly a transceiver, but another example of that kind of signal. If received in a receiver with 3 kHz fi
Actually I meant "classic equipment." I'm not sure I ever heard a KWS-1 in "AM" mode. _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting
Ken, I guess it depends on what you assume about the way the signal power is generated. You assume that the sideband power will be twice as high as the power in each sideband of a DSB-AM signal. I as
As with the postage stamps, Ten Tec will probably issue all future with the printing that you have and offer to replace your "defective" microphone element <g>! ______________________________________
Crit, It depends on the level. As I remember from my Corsair days, the attenuator is between the antenna and RF amplifier. If the RF amplifier input is being overdriven, it will still be if the gain
Interesting question. I've wondered about this for a while and had an opportunity to try my Centaur amplifier with a FT-2000 (in place of my usual Paragon) in full QSK mode this weekend. What I did w
Well folks, I've been biting my tounge (fingers?) for days but can't stand it any more! I must remark in support of Carter's comment. In terms of the folks who run the ARRL, I can say that they are d
Perhaps we first need a list to discuss the merits of having a separate list for CW? 73, Joel, W1ZR _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://li
Well, I have owned a number of Ten Tec radios, used more and may own even more, depending on what I read here, so I like the choice. If they get divided up I would sign up for most, and then someone
John, I think I remember that the split audio is only available out the front headphone jack? If so, it would probably take a small stereo amp and then you'd be in biz. GL & 73, Joel Joel R. Hallas,
Folks, I seem to have a new problem with my Paragon. It transmits spurs 600 Hz above and below the carrier about 10 to 20 dB down from the carrier. This was reported to me by someone using the spectr
This happens in Tune or CW. I can't generate a pure enough sinewave to measure in SSB, but will next week. I took some data on receive this morning and the spurs are down at least 40 dB on receive. I
Mike, Well, I went to measure, just to be sure, and everything was as expected - voltage wise. What surprised me was that the problem has now gone away. I would attribute it to contact resistance bei
Jerry, That not quite what Toby's talking about. The old noise blankers used a noise sample in a wideband receiver to perform a short (not extended by selective filters) duration receive mute, much l
Ken, I've had that happen to my Paragon with RF getting into the radio. Have you tried it into s dummy load with solid coax? GL & 73, Joel Joel R. Hallas, W1ZR _______________________________________
Paul, It sounds like you are up against the wonderful TT "QSK loop." The radio will not transmit in any mode unless the "TX EN" is jumpered to the "TX OUT" jack. The radio comes with a small strap wi
The Paragon II also transmits on AM. The Paragon I has a nice AM receiver but doesn't transmit in that mode. On the I the serial port and FM module were options, they came built in on the II, and a m
