1) Mine may be going bad:
I suspect my temp controlled soldering station is going south on me. In
building my K2, I've noticed that it takes longer to get the solder flowing.
Are there any _cheap_ but somewhat accurate ways of testing a station like

Maybe someone could convince TenTec to release the firmware as open source,
and allow amateurs to experiment with the radio. Just a thought...

The information regarding Argonaut V is incorrect.
Ten Tec has just finished another production run of these fine radios. A new
firmware version is available.
Their firmware IS available for programmers to enable radio control from a
pc.

Yes - I think Kevin has been seriously considering it. Maybe we just need to
give him a bigger nudge. I'd like to see a 30m net also - and maybe find a

I just upgraded my SSB mod to the 2.5 kHz spacing and my BFO has stopped
working. It was working after I had completed the mod but my BFO range was
slightly high. I was adding additional capacitance to C173 and C174 per
various postings on the reflector to attempt to move the BFO spread
The current generation of control software and logging software do not work
together well. I use N3FJP for logging. Using a control program would make
it impossible to gather data into N3FJP's program. A hardware remote would

As the design of the K2 is pretty modular I do not see any reason why it
would not be possible to mount a K2 inside a larger box and add a direct
entry keypad and memory/mode buttons
I don't see the new firmware on the official Ten-Tec firmware update site.
Where is it?
As of 5 mins ago the rfsquared website is showing ver 1.07 dated 6/25/2003.
My statement was based upon an e-mail directly from Ten-Tec where they
stated that they consider the Argonaut a finished project,
During a very light rain, with no accompanying lighting, there can be static
charge build up on an antenna.
I've seen sparks about 1/4 inch across a ground switch that wasn't quite
closed.
Also, wind alone can build up a static charge.
Rolling or unrolling coax can generate a static charge. I
It seams that someone could not stand it and gone to extreemes..

Noone was talking abt TFT!!!
Noone wanted 200W (K2-100+PA is already over legal limit power even with poor
UA GS triodes)
Noone was talking abt nice paint and JA-style housing.
Has anyone tried placing the 5.6k resistor for the MD2 microphone into the
plug or into the microphone itself (rather than into the K2)?
I've done this with the hand mic with success, but the MD2 plug seems a lot
more crowded and a few pins have heat shrink, which I'd rather not remove.
Happy

Hope you had a Merry Christmas.
Just my 2 cents on touch screens- I work with AMX touch screens for
classroom multimedia control. (I don't work for AMX, rather a state
community college) The main advantage of these touch screens is that you
can put any kind of buttons and labels

Howard, I have used the MFJ and like it a lot, however, for me the choice
would be the Micro908. It does more than antenna analysis and has many more
possibilities long run, plus you get to build it!

I am working on some radios that are mostly not working for a ham. The
intention is to donate the radios to hams that cannot build or do not have
rigs. I need manuals for the following:
Original Emtech NW 80/20 in the 40 meter version
Small Wonder Labs SW 30
OHR Explorer for 20 meters
MFJ 40
I just finished building a 908 for someone, and mine is coming in the
second round. It works pretty well in the limited testing I put it
through, and you get a development platform for other projects as
well. Plenty of detail on the site. Quality is totally in your control
:) Parts are all fine,
I am also getting some wierd results on first test. Don recommended a
solder check and I have done this. I have rewetted all the joints on the

As usual, Don's advice is excellent. I would add that you should check
to see if there might be a short between pins on one (or more) of the
switches or traces connecting to them. It is EASY to accidentally
splash some solder across solder traces either at the switches, the

Let me offer one more option.
Put a 1.2k resistor in parallel with the 5.6k when (and only when) the mic
containing the preamp and HC5 is plugged in.
Here is how to do that easily: Solder the 5.6k resistor on the mic jack
between pins 1 and 6 as instructed for the MD2, then solder a
