Carter, just right-click on "From Rick -- DJ0IP/NJ0IP" and select "Compose message to" I am using Mozilla Thunderbird for my email. It has two choices, "Reply" and "Reply List". The latter, as expect

The merger of these brands under the RF Concepts banner makes perfect sense," added Seedman, "Under the RF Concepts banner"? Does that mean the TenTec brand is disappearing? (Can we anticipate an "RF
Guys, I paid ~$4,300 for my new Orion II (with two optional filters) in 2009. It's just not reasonable to expect an O3 to be offered at the same price. (Yes, I know... bare-bones?, what options?, etc
707 --> 709... I never see 708's mentioned, and that's what I have. What's the list's view of that mike? I'm a CW guy. Hope this isn't too far from the thread topic; Rodney's mention of these two ski
When I became active again, in the mid-1980s, I picked up an analog Century 21 at a hamfest (I thought it was "modern," and compared to my DX-20 and NC-303 it was) and used it in the NTS traffic nets
Rick, I used an HRO-5 as a Novice. Each plug-in coil had a graph on the front showing a more-or-less linear relationship between the dial readout and frequency. I wonder how close to any particular f
I recently revived my first Novice transmitter (built from the 1957 RAH, but originally described in a 1953 QST); it uses a 6AG7 at 10w input. My plan is to use a coax relay on the antenna terminal o
I've often thought about commenting on these antenna/ground threads; Glenn's note and Rick's reply have provided the motivation. I understand Glenn's position, but have often felt immensely privilege
FYI: TenTec received my Orion II two weeks ago, according to UPS. Hearing nothing about it, I called today and was told to expect a 6 to 8 week turnaround. -- -- John, K3GHH
I'm encountering problems on wavelengths <30m. Operation seems normal on 160-30m. A few days ago I had no (well, maybe 4w) transmitter output on 20m, intermittent output on 17/15/12/10m, and main-tun
Let me try again, perhaps a bit more terse and maybe less confusing/confused: Is there a particular circuit, board, or cable I should examine that would explain (a) normal receive operation on amateu
Thanks, Cecil. It occurred to me today to try the sub-receiver; it works fine -- had a few QSOs using it on 20m CW. Turning back to the Main receiver, after again removing the A3 board and Deoxit'ing
Just noticed this tonight: Tuning through 20m, there's an audible "click" with each step in frequency (each 10 Hz with 10 Hz steps, each 1 Hz when 1 Hz step is selected, etc.) It is impossible to tun
Thanks, Bob... I was going to speculate about the encoder in the original post, but don't really understand them. For someone of my generation and background, it's hard to shake the vision of a varia
So far, at least, switching the Orion's power off and then back on has restored operability (e.g., the tuner's meter shows forward power 115w on 80m CW). I just checked the power supply (it's on the
Several times in the past few days my O2 (firmware 3.028) has had no transmit output, and no audio output except faint background hiss, when I first turn it on. The paddles produce a nice sidetone, b
