Hi, The logging by recorder is a good idea. One member of the Minnesota Wireless Association does it for the MN QSO Party with video and posts them to YouTube. I would miss some details in conversati
Hehe, swells would be more predictable than pot-holes in the road. Tim KE4KE Sent from AOL Mobile Mail Talk story! I am in the midst of setting up for CW mobile in the PU truck. It will be a first. M
Hi, I don't really have too much trouble with 50 watts, but then I run QRP a lot too. I used to run 10 watts SSB mobile. I do like the size of my Jupiter. I wouldn't expect any rig to be that big tod
Hi, Anyone want to compare the Johnson matchbox to a model 254? Thanks, Tim KE4KE Time and again we saw that at field day when using a Johnson Viking Matchbox 275w with two different openwire fed ant
Hi Jim, Found your TXNoise page a few years ago and have shared the link around some. Appreciate the page. It is very helpful. Tim KE4KE It is also a FACT that the Kenwood TS590 radio is a lot cleane
Hi, Ray Novak would agree with the budget level part. I remember hearing Ray Novak of Icom say several times that the IC-7300 was an introductory level radio. I think I remember that he said that it
Hi, First rig was a TT Argonaut 509 new from TT. I believe the serial was 02666? Eventually added the 405 linear. Unfortunately sold it at the Indianapolis hamfest before moving to Alaska where I end
Hi Rick, This now sounds like a dirty switch contact. Tim KE4KE Last time I worked on Argonauts I had a scope, VTVM, signal generator, freq. counter, etc. Today I only have a DVM and a freq. counter.
Hi Rick, One thing to consider is that a past owner made a modification? Tim KE4KE With the mode switch in SB-R on 80, it is in LSB. When I switch to 40m it is in USB. I have to turn the mode switch
Hi Rick, I spent the majority of my first years as a ham with just two radios, TT Argonaut 509 (1976) and then a TS-140s (1989). I had an IC-703+ (2010) for a couple years. After that I started tryin
Rick, Forgot to mention the number two radio has a typo in the first link's list. It is an Eagle. TS-599at should read TT-599at Tim KE4KE IMO this boils down to people being too darn lazy to do their
Hi, These happened when I worked in Southeastern Minnesota in radio. In Faribault, MN, WA0SSN called me up one day asking if I could help with his 160 and 80 meter reception. The station had a Harris
HI, I would imagine that a lot of people are waiting for the Rebel and Patriot to be available again. I would be interested in an Argonaut VII that covered 80-10 meters. The Eagle was available at a
Hi, Thanks for the update! I had a new Argonaut 509 which I sold before moving to Alaska. I now have my Dad's 515. I also have a Jupiter and Eagle. I can deal with the idea of replacing the Jupiter w
Good comments Scott, I have the Eagle and TS-590s. The 590s has a good receiver and is good on transmit spectral purity. The Eagle beats it on actual use on CW. Using the RF gain control I can reduce
Thanks Ron, You made me think maybe we should happily consider the first run of Eagles all for Xenia? They could all sell out. Also consider the free advertising by those interviewing everyone there
Hi, Based on the options mentioned, make the box bigger! I suppose if it was just made deeper or longer then the same front face could be used. Tim KE4KE On 03/06/2017 12:41 PM, rick@dj0ip.de wrote:
Hi, Yes, I am afraid I was one of those who was some what vocal about adding 160m and leaving out 12m. I am aware that TT received positive comments about adding 160. One comment I had was that I cou
Hi, I'll add my similar experience from a couple months ago. It took just a bit longer, but no more than three weeks from shipping to receiving. My Eagle had a DC power related issue and would not po
Hello, Ten-Tec was at Dayton with the old rigs on display with one exception. An Omni VII+ was on display. I did not talk to Mike, but apparently this new Omni will be on sale at the web site soon or
