Here is my solution - using very quiet computer fans. See the link at the bottom of the page: "Cooling Fan Project" http://k8jhr.com/project_links.html I sometimes use a small resistor to slow them d
Horizontal vs vertical fins... Hmmm.... that makes sense considering heat rises. Another great observation based on facts hiding in plain view. Of course he WOULD mention it AFTER you had completed y
I made a fan built into my shelf system to help the amp vent hot air. I used an Off-On-Off switch with a single resistor to accomplish that feat. This gives me high and low speed with just a flick of
Thanks for the uptake, Rick. Ah, yes... Heat. I picked a really big resistor so I assume it is OK. I will have to check it. The guy who maintains our 17-site repeater system specified the value for m
Ah... so the "plot sickens..." ;-) Thanks for that further gloss. I gotta learn more about diodes. A local Elmer told me to make a voltage divider (like an L-pad attenuator) if I wanted to assure a p

Mike... what do you want the panadapter to do for you? I am in the same position, considering the purchase of an Eagle or maybe a Brand X radio that already does a panadapter as a native function. So
You do that when building to NASA specs! -- Gee, Rick... I thought these rigs were way better than that ! -- K8JHR -- _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@conte
Sidebar to Barry - Thank you for providing me with similar assistance off list a few weeks back on a similar matter with MY Orion II. It took me a little time to wrap my head around what you told me,

Not sure, but I thought there is a calibration procedure document for download at the TT web page. https://www.tentec.com/content/downloads/manuals/566/S-Meter%20565%20566%20Calibration%20Procedure.p
Do NB circuits have differing impact/utility/effect on CW vs SSB vs data signals? -- K8JHR -- ___________________________________________________ / _______________________________________________ Ten
Ken and Bob - Man... thanks - exactly the sort of explanation I wish they would put in user manuals for guys like me who are not radio engineers. Sidebar -- There is an on-going debate on a Brand X r
I think the piece is well done. Well written and credible, in fact. Too bad it is not true! The good news is the increased interest in the Code for its own sake, which means new hams are learning and

That was fun, Perry. It might have been more credible if famous ham operator, Art Bell, had released that story! ;-) -- JR -- On 4/1/2014 2:57 PM, w8au@sssnet.com wrote: -) I think we have been outdo

Pshaw - Rick... your argument proves too much: If your club needs to standardize on just one radio to avoid operator error, maybe it needs better operators! ;-) ;-) ;-) Ha! Besides, it would be easie
