Hmmm... anyone in that area planning to go who might consider doing a "remote purchase" and shipping it? 73, Al _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.c
It would be interesting if someone had the time to inventory the schematics and parts lists of the older TT rigs to see what is actually there. My guess is that when it comes to the less common devic
If "modern hams have moved beyond the crystal radio" why are there so many web pages on how to build one? While quite a few are tinkering with computerized stuff there is still a lot of interest in n
I've thought for a while now that essentially what you are describing, along with a basic display -- which I'm assuming your idea implies -- tied to an RX320 or a Softrock Ensemble RX would make an e
I thought initially when the WARC bands were opened that they wouldn't be used for contests, but it looks like that isn't the case. Note to contesters: please do us a favor and move up to 10M. There

Jim, Unless you're ready for a break (which I'd say you've earned as you've done an excellent job as admin for quite some time now), I see no requirement that the list admin has to actually own Ten-T
Just to put it in perspective: how much has automobile depreciation cost you in the past decade? Or how much is a decade old computer item worth now? Unless it's very rare or desirable, even a "colle
If you want a transceiver kit of 100W with lots of "bells and whistles" the choices are limited. If you're looking QRP/minimalist there are quite a few vendors, especially if you count all the QRP cl
Don't get me started - most people don't realize how much sleight of hand goes into advertising in general. Without naming the time or place other than to say it was quite some time ago, a window/sid
I think it's good to discuss this as a "real world" exercise in knowing what the competition is doing. To sell a radio to a non-brand loyal ham, TT has to be aware of things like Sherwood's chart in
Check Mouser/DigiKey etc. - I think you may find "drop-in" LED replacements for the incandescents currently installed. 73, Al _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTe
I don't think it's whether the line is 300 or 450 vs. 600 ohm that changes the VF with the weather - it's the dielectric type (plastic etc. vs. air.) 73, Al __________________________________________
Watch for an "expiration" date on software in the future? How about now? There are a number of (software) companies doing that already. "Will the Ten-Tec of the future be any different?" Unless they
For $50 you definitely got your money's worth. BTW here's a link to info/manual on the 405: http://wa2iac.com/gear/QRP/Ten_Tec_405_QRP_Linear/index.php It appears that the connector is a 4 pin Jones
TT did make an optional crowbar board for the 252/262 etc. supplies. As I recall (my dad had several 252s over the years) it was a board that mounted inside the back panel of the PS and should be pre

For < 100W I'd say perhaps a z-match or homebrew link coupled tuner. (The link coupled ones can be fairly simple if you don't mind moving coil taps etc. to change bands.) That being said, I'll let th

The Corsair remote VFO is the 263. I think there are more differences than just the connectors. 73, Al _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http:/
