I recently bought a Ten-Tec Triton I (510) at a local hamfest a couple of months ago . It didn't have the right power supply with it when I bought it , instead it had the Ten Tec Model 262m with it . Which I was told wouldn't work right without the proper adjustments, and so on, and so on . So...

No, it's never been recapped before. Everything is still original in it. But I did get a recap kit for it from Klondike Mike. So that will be getting done.

Actually, no . I disconnected it, and stored it away for a year or two. It was fine when I disconnected it and put it away. Then when I pulled it back out and hooked it up again a few years later, it's doing this craziness instead of acting the right way now.

No, it's still a 5 pin mic jack. It used to be my grandmothers , and I inherited it a few years ago when she passed away. So I know it's history . She bought it new , and never had any crazy work done to it . It worked really well for the first year or so. But then recently it started acting up...

No, I made sure that I was plugged into the external speaker jack ... lol

Just a thought , but try reporting it to the FCC as a Ham operator issue instead of as an 11 meter issue . Since it's effecting the 10 & 12 meter bands as well . I had the same issue here a few years ago . Something at my neighbors house was effecting 11 meters for me too . But it was also...

I think I may have answered my own question . I've been researching , and I think that the VR12 may be the culprit. Previously my Cobra 2000 was having a mic gain issue . If you turned the mic gain up to around the 10 or 11 o'clock position it would get really wonky when it was keyed up . Now...

Hi everyone, I've got a 5 pin Cobra 2000 GTL that I'm having an issue with . I haven't used it in awhile , so I pulled it out , and wired my D104 Silver Eagle up to it ... and first of all, it's receiving whether I have the mic hooked up to it or not . And second , in order to hear the CB , I...

I'm surprised, nobody has any advice on what way I should wire this Ten Tec 6 pin Jones plug to work with the Ten Tec 4 pin 262 power supply ?

I have a new development with my Ten-Tec situation . I discovered today that the Ten-Tec 262M power supply that came with the Triton One when I bought it , does work . So now I'm trying to figure out how to safely pair the power supply and the Triton One together . The 262 power supplies jack...

This Triton 1 (510) has a 6 pin power lead on it. Do any of you know if there is anywhere that makes a ten tec styled universal 6 pin power lead that I could buy to use for running it with a regular power supply ? Or maybe I can build one myself. In the manual it says that : For AC supply...

Thank you Shockwave. I didn't think what he was saying made much sense to me either. But I listened carefully to his instructions just in case, and I continued to run what he had said through my head . But all of my experience with radios through the years, made me keep questioning his...

Which is exactly what I thought too . But this man was VERY adamant that when I hooked the Triton I to the 262 , I first had to make sure to internally turn it's Amps back to about 8-10 using the 207 Ammeter for monitoring the proper amperage. The Pyramid PS21KX, and an MFJ 25 amp MightyLite...

I do have a Pyramid PS21KX that I'm not using ... which is 13.8 VDC and 18 AMP Constant/20 AMP Surge . Would it be possible to use that power supply to run the Triton I ? Because the man I bought it from was very insistent that I keep it below 18 amps ... more like around 8 - 10 amps for the radio .

Ok everyone, here's a question for all of you radio techs out there. I just recently went to a local ham fest and I bought an old Ten-Tec Triton One (Triton I) 510 . First of all , it did come with a Ten-Tec Model 262M power supply , a banana mic styled Ten-Tec stock mic , and an old Ten-Tec...

Thanks for the idea gcook, I'll see if they'll look into it

I've finally tracked down the culprit , it wasn't the radio or the coax . It was the MH-1B8 stock mic . I went with Shadetree's advice , hooked my dummy load up to FT-757GXII , and listened on my FT-897D using my headphones ... and my MH-1B8 stock mic had dirty contacts . When I bought the radio...

I guess that my confusion is coming from the fact that I've been using this same coax and antenna for at least 10/12 years without any issues. And now all of a sudden I'm being told that I have RF in my audio. I'm always on 40 meters, and on LSB , but I've tried different radios with the same...

To answer a few questions. I was talking on my Yaesu FT-757GXII , using it's stock mic , with a Carolina Windom antenna. I am using a LDG Z-11 Pro automatic antenna tuner, so I shouldn't be having any SWR problems. I was on LSB talking on a 40 meter net. But checking out my coax I found a few...

It was RF in my audio ... I miss quoted him, and I fixed it in the post.
