This may not be the right place to ask, but as there is a lot of technical talent here, let me give it a shot... When I was using the Ka-Gold program and a KAM+ TNC for rag chewing and using Writelog
Jim, Thanks for the response...and here are a couple of comments on your comments.:-) In FSK mode, the TX frequency does NOT track MMTTY's AFC. This is true -- but I am a true FSK believer. Possibly,

Just to be clear, these guys were not giving me grief but I still don't like being the guy who is off frequency all the time even though I often run old, old gear. The Corsair (I) is not a candidate
PS: Old Drake gear. Wonderful. I hope you still have it. Yes, I do -- and still in mint condition. The back story... I bought a brand new R4B when I was in the Chicago area for a 13 week Bell System

I heard a rumor about Ten Tec this weekend at the Ten Tec factory and Hmmmm... But maybe THEY won't say anything until you do. A classic "Catch 22". :-D
It`s not that I can`t keep a secret; it`s the people I tell! Well then, you just have to invoke the old Mafia policy: "Three people can keep a secret...as long as two of them are dead."
Well, here is my [inverse?] Keesler story... I was in the Air National Guard from 1970 to 1976 as an "avionics" tech (forgot the actual MOS). Basically I had two choices: either go to Biloxi for a 1
I smile when I see everybody describing their favorite wire antenna, so let me jump in with my comments (asbestos suit on). <grin> Mike, not to deny your success nor picking on you or anyone else des
I'm not sure what is "preferred", but what I use is a large DPDT knife switch, one side to the tuner, the other position to ground. Although I don't use one, there is always the ever-popular dual spa

I admire you explaining your reasoning to us and it seems to make sense...except for the following: You want to buy an old Jupiter to try out a DSP radio. Possibly you are overlooking the "old" part.
Sorry to be a wise guy, but that is a question only you can answer... If you paid $20,000 for the radio, you made a bad decision. If you are asking (in a round about manner) if it is a good radio, th
Quirks? Yup...I had a 1976 and a 1977 300D (5 cylinder Diesels for those of you that may not be familiar with the product line), both purchased new. I had numerous (major) "quirks" with both of them
Yes, actually quite common, especially on "dry" circuits (those without talk battery). Using their test set put current on the circuit, effectively (and temporarily) "sealing" noisy splices. This tes
Well, a fair question...but the Centurion uses two 3-500 tubes. MY question would be: Are any *decent* 3-500s still available -- other than the Chinese imports (or getting lucky at the e-place)?
