Hi Bob! Based on what is presented as modification to Part 97, I see NOTHING which restricts us (hams) from using 60m in stationary, mobile, portable, or aeronautical... just like the crystal thing..
Hi Chip! Having several Icoms (one of which is a 746) and a VI Option 1, I vote for the Option 1. Simpler to operate, sounds better, and hears when the 746 doesn't, but most of all, hears the deep-do
Hee hee... Vince, you left yourself open to a whole lot of opportunities... Check your QSK wiring, and also check-see if your set is in 'vox' mode... sounds like either the keying-circuit is somehow
Hey Everybody! I'm looking for a NON-T_T thing, so flame me good for posting this... ... but before you do, check your dusty-old-shelves and see if you've got an old EPROM programmer or eraser lying
Richard N9EZC bought a 100' section of 9913-equivalent coax with N's on both ends, tested just fine with a continuity tester, but apparently had some sort of migration problem- registered phenominal
Okay guys, enough. If you're disappointed enough to seek another reflector, then please do so. If you look closely at the complaints, and compare that to the number of subscribers, you'll see that th
Hi Mark! I'm working on plans and parts-list for one... even have a prototype with an encoder I got from Digi-Key... my only stumbling-block is that I can't get my VI to see the encoder... and I thin
I used a cheap mechanical unit... lessee... GH3071ND a 36 position PC mount ... $4.70 each... totally mechanical variety. I could've gotten a more expensive optical device, but it shouldn'tve made an
--Ooh- there's a mighty fine Scottish word fer ye! Hey- rathern' hammer the concept of making these old rigs go there, is there some interesting way which one might experiment? How about using the 5m
If one prefers to brew their own keying device, beware that the keying voltage is NEGATIVE... be careful if you're using a solid-state device. Harbach upgrade kits are based on QST articles published
Even if I was able to afford plunk-down for a new Orion, I'd not inclined to be concerned about ANY lab-reports or reviews. I've got an Omni VI here that's been around a while, and judging by the sim
Curious that crow-problems crop up now and then. I've never used CF to clear 'em, but I've never seen a crow land on my wire antennas. Did have a few land on the beams and sidearms. I'm somewhat of a
Hey All! Perplexing problem on my VI/Opt1... Not long after I got it, I tried using rig-control software, and just couldn't get it to work. I reviewed my owner's manual, tried a few other settings, a
Hi All! I was just going through and updating all my tuning charts for a new wire antenna, and this time, am incorporating all the amplifier settings as well. ...and I realized that the Centurion cov
orange. --Dunno about the EL Display, but I do know that extensive experimentation has occured on the DOT in the center of the T-T logo. I believe that the performance of the different colors of dots
Actually, I kinda like this idea, as I like to test lots of rigs, and drive lots of cars. Unfortunately, girl-friends tend to get a bit upset when you start trading 'em around... But hey... DK :-} 73
Since they originally sold for $85, and Steve has the market cornered, why doesn't someone sit down with an encoder and a PIC, and make an aftermarket version? DK :-) 73's from KW0D Dave in LeClaire,
Hi Bob! Oh- that's easy... either there's a fly with a micro-chain-saw inside your Yaesu... and a mouse with a kazooo in your Ten-Tec. Apparently it they both hate it when you listen to CW DX... Stic
