I have had several reports from time to time of my audio sounding distorted. Some say it sounds like RF getting into rig. I have listened to my audio on another rig & I can't detect any unless I turn
Well, looks like Rick Williams found the problem. Thanks Rick! Darn SP was setting on 3. Don't even know how that thing got turned on. Shame can't use it. I had very good reports after I turned it of
Gang, my SP was at a setting of 3. While talking to a station in TX, with my signal being 10 over S9, with SP on 3 there was distortion. This was using TT hand mic or the Heil element in the MC-50. T
OK George, I did the recorder thing & I could not detect any distortion. With dummy load or antenna. I used a IC706MKII as the receiver. This was done on 20 meters. Even when it was set to 9 I couldn
Well George, the Windom & Beam have 1:1 Balun at the antenna feed point. Like I said before I can't hear it on the antenna or dummy load. But, other stations can on 17 & 20 meters with SP on. Strange
Very good fellows. I just can't figure out why I can't hear this after making a recording & playing it back through the radio while listening on another rig. On outside antenna or dummy load. The onl
Well the Windom was made by Antennas West & it came with the balun. I have not had any problems with this antenna in 6 years & very pleased with its performance. I couldn't have built one myself, at
Jamie, getting RF out of a motel room has got to be one of the worse challenges a ham can face. I did that for over 20 years & if you can't get that window open then you are limited to VHF or UHF rep

Has anybody heard when TT is going to put the instructions to the mod & V 1.08 on their WEB site? I thought it was suppose to be there before end of January. Reed W4JZ _______________________________
I have been using the little T1 now for over a week. A very nice addition to any QRP rig! I have used this little tuner with 132 foot Windom, Gap vertical, Hy-Gain 2 element beam tuning in bands cut
I have a Argonaut V, version 1.08, which works great with hand microphone, but I'm having to run Mic Gain all way clock wise to start ALC light to blink with the 706 desk microphone. Hand Mic Gain se
Thanks Mike for the reply. No, this one does not have the amplification switch on bottom. I believe I have found the problem. When I upgraded the rig to ver 1.08, year or so ago, I did not increase t
Thanks Ray for the reply. I talked with another ham last night & found, with my voice, 11 o'clock is working fine. 12 o'clock have peaks of distortion. I set the mic gain pot, inside the rig, while t
Has anyone had a problem with the needle sticking at times? I removed front cover & it will still do it. A light tap on rig will release it. I checked for dust or anything else in the movement of nee
Thanks guys for the reply. Yep I believe a call to TT tomorrow to get a replacement will fix the problem. I had a light and magnifying glass on movement & could not find anything stopping it. First t
Got meter replaced & all is fine now. I did find a very, almost invisible, fine piece of metal that was causing the sticking problem on bad meter. It was on left side of magnetic sticking up enough t
