To add to the mix, the one I bought with my Omni V years ago is a T11-0-18.0A-21121-1 - an 18A "instant open" breaker. It looks like the most pertinent numbers are the "0", which indicates instant op
With regard to network loss, here are a couple tools that I use regularly: http://www.qsl.net/ac6la/xlzizl.html (requires Excel) ftp://ftp.qrz.com/files/antennas/tl.zip (DOS app.) It's amazing how mu
Here's another home project for show and tell: http://home.rochester.rr.com/k2zn/tuner1.jpg http://home.rochester.rr.com/k2zn/tuner2.jpg The transformer is a 1:1 wound on a type 43 "squaroid" core. M
Heck, I've even killed the toughbooks in places like the Middle East. I've also used units that cost in the $6-7k range that don't fit the bill for one reason or another. Al, K2ZN I've spent the whol
It sounds like the 40m band xtal has aged and is subsequently off frequency; it's not at all uncommon. You can either try to modify the oscillator to make it "warpable" or buy a new crystal. Al, K2ZN
I've never had much success with getting my old EFJ Matchbox to play well for me on 30m, even with moving the tap points on the input - there was always too much heat and too high a VSWR. The best so
Marcus It sounds like the 30m bandpass filter may be in need of realignment. The board is on the bottom side of the rig. If you've got a manual, it's pretty easy to locate the right coils and adjust.
I have a #288 1.8 kHz filter for the 6.3 MHz IF that I no longer need. I'm looking for a #217 500 Hz filter for the 9 MHz IF - preferably an even exchange. 73 - Al, K2ZN
Didn't Icom put out something like an IC-767 or 757 that went through half a dozen "new, improved" versions over a period of less than two years before they finally decided to drop the product? Also,
Tim I don't think any of the mods mentioned on the page ever made it into production units. However, I do know that there were two different boards for the IF/Audio, RX Mixer, and noise blanker assem
Rick Have you tried applying a signal to the AUDIO IN jack on the rear panel? It's in parallel with the front panel mic connector. At the very least, you'll be able to verify if the rest of the TX au
Yes, it most definitely does. Al, K2ZN Thanks and 73, Dave NB4J For contesting and DXing with frequent band changes the OMNI VI+ is my first choice. For S-3 to S-9 signal DXing with large pileups alm
Yes, the Argosy uses crystal mixing. Another place to look is the band switch; a shot of DeOxit may help out a great deal. Al, K2ZN Hello Ten Tec group First, it is nice to be a part of the ten tec g
Tim The Corsair is definitely smaller; compared to an Omni V, the Corsair is narrower and not as deep, but it's the same height. Al, K2ZN _______________________________________________ TenTec mailin
