(Reminded by the "Restringing the Model 200 VFO" thread) Looking for the "department of antiquities" here: my 505's dial calibration is off, all bands. According to the manual everything derives/mult
That's where us "stick in the mud" types with our _old_ TT rigs have an advantage: "VY SRI fer being off freq OM, rig HR is analog" HI HI!! 73, Al _______________________________________________ TenT
"[D]sp brick wall narrow filtering"? I've had the same thing happen back when I was running a Corsair with the 250 Hz 282 filter switched in. I remember several occasions when I'd sign off a contact
Allen, The OVP is not "rocket science" so to speak - it's just a zener diode, a heavy-duty SCR of the proper rating, a fuse, and a few passive components. It should be fairly easy to build one on a b
Allen, I think the 8 pole filter you want is the 2.4(?)KHz model 220. The other item (well documented elsewhere) is that the AC feed from the 225 to the front panel switch can cause hum pickup in the
Go look at the archives of this list. There is a cottage industry devoted to keeping vintage TT gear running popping up, including efforts to produce replacement boards for those boards which have "u
May be apples and oranges, but I had an issue with a Corsair "back when" where the RX on 40M would die after about an hour of operation (as you will see, this would have affected the TX also.) I call
Maybe not very likely, but perhaps check the 0.015 ohm current shunt resistor to make sure it's not open or that there's not a bad solder joint on the board? I.e. make sure there's power to the final
FB on the troubleshooting Bill. Sometimes it's the simple stuff that gets overlooked and causes hair loss. An local friend of mine told me about picking up an old TT (Omni or Corsair?) at a hamfest f
(*"SSB" = "Solid State Boatanchor," my lighthearted but respectful term for the old Omnis, Corsairs, etc. which take a lot of desk space with the matching PS and external VFO.) Given the frequent thr
If they are the 252 series they use common parts and should be easy to repair. The caveat is if they don't have the optional crowbar (also easy to clone), it is highly recommended that you add one as
TNX for your willingness and efforts Robert, I'm good at coming up with ideas but not always so good at putting them into practice HI HI!! Hopefully this will help us "die-hards" keep our vintage TT
Robert, Just a couple of comments/wish list: how about including categories for complete rigs for sale/wanted instead of just parts? Also, could you add model entries for Argonaut (505, 509, 515), Ar
Before you get too far with that maybe we need some consensus from the group as to what radios belong to which "family"? That would make the groupings more intuitive when posting/searching for an ite
Robert, Have you ever thought of giving lessons on customer service? There are a lot of companies that could benefit from having your attitude and approach. TNX/73, Al _______________________________
That could be read several ways. I'd take it to mean that she has an _inventory_ of his ham gear on her computer. If that is the case, that's an excellent move on his part. (If you want to know why,
Just a note of caution here: the breaker is a delay 51 trip curve. Here's the pertinent info from Airpax's data sheet on the breaker in question: DELAY CURVES 400Hz, DC, 50/60Hz Delay Curves (typ) A
As long as one remembered to back off the drive a bit and run the rig at ~80-90% output, I'd think using a 15A (preferably still instant trip) breaker might also be an option for the older rigs since
I think what Darrell is saying is the reason that the early Omnis and Corsairs continue to be popular: they feature RX performance which is still "plenty good" for non-DXers/contesters like myself AN
