John, I'm not quite ready to go the "donation" route when it involves a for-profit company, and I'm not in the market for a new rig, but might the new owner be interested in working with small invest
Rick, I'm with you on the "too many features." While I haven't owned or used a K3, one of the things I never cared for about the K2 was the "one way" filter selection: it cycled through the filters w
My recently acquired (from an estate) Delta II/536 exibits intermittent operation on the 14.5 - 21.5 MHz range (VCO 3) and has also gone dead once briefly on the < 7.5 MHz range (VCO 1.) The SK's son
Is this possibly the first symptom of a memory battery near the end of life? 73, Al _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.c
Dave, The "48057 Unknown" is possibly the stock 4 pole 9 MHz 2.4 KHz BW unit used in the Corsair and/or Argosy per an old post on the reflector: -- Ten-Tec IF filter data Model Number / Stock Code /
Wade, Here's the "Captain Ten-Tec decoder ring" for at least some of them: http://tentecwiki.org/doku.php?id=filters 73, Al _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@
Ron, I'd check the multitude of small connectors going to the boards in the front panel area. Mine was doing some random squirrely things and reseating connectors as noted seemed to take care of the
Bob, FYI there's a 208 filter (don't know if it could be adapted?) and a 206A calibrator listed on eHam Classifieds as of a couple days ago: http://www.eham.net/classifieds/detail/487436 Disclaimer:
A couple of things: one, encourage folks to particpate in this reflector. There's a wealth of "brainstorming" knowledge here to help users solve issues, even those not directly caused by the rig itse
OK, I need to jump in here. I had held off posting this because of the amount of traffic on this subject, but the cost to the company is more likely much higher than that. My source? a friend of mine
"12 mph?" Back in the 1970s I worked as an operating/maintenance engineer at a TV transmitter site in NW AR. A "tower ape" came out to do some work (tower lights if I remember correctly.) There was a
Rick, What length are you calling "short"? And, is this type of antenna better fed with coax, balanced line, or does it matter? TNX/73, Al _______________________________________________ TenTec maili
I think this is the one Rick is talking about: Simple Multi-Band Vertical Dipole http://www.dj0ip.de/vertical-antennas/simple-multi-band-vertical/ 73, Al _____________________________________________
This is just off the top of my head (can't find anything in a quick web search), but I seem to remember something about aging/deteriorating bypass caps (especially electrolytics) in the display subsy

Greetings all, As you may recall I posted here a while back about a Delta II I picked up from an estate. The SK's son mentioned that 15M (VCO 3?) operation was intermittent when I was in discussions
Joe, Just an ohms check may not be enough. You may be dealing with an intermittent breakdown under high voltage. A "hi-pot" (high potential) test with an insulation tester etc. would be the only way
Joe, I'm hoping some of the other guys who are more "amp-saavy" than I chime in, but you might be able to do a "cheap & dirty" test of the transformer this way. It would be somewhat subjective, but d
Per Carl - note the word "intermittent." That would account for the seeming randomness of the blown fuses. I think dealing with that word in relation to electronic devices may also have something to
If I'm remembering correctly that the battery is the same as the O1, it's not just a battery but has RTC etc. with it in a DIP module. 73, Al _______________________________________________ TenTec ma
