Why does my Ten-Tec SSB-CW-AM have numerous heterodyne signals?
If you are experiencing numerous heterodyne or 'birdie' signals while using an indoor or active antenna with your Ten-Tec Receiver, the antenna might be too close to the receiver. It may be picking up display multiplexing harmonics. Position the antenna at least 15 feet away from the receiver and use a coax feed.
What to do if stored frequencies are not in memory on Ten-Tec SSB-CW-AM Receiver?
If the stored frequencies are not saved in the memory of your Ten-Tec Receiver after turning it off and on, the memory backup battery might be bad or not installed. Check the battery snap connector as well.
What to do if signals seem very weak on Ten-Tec SSB-CW-AM Receiver?
If signals appear very weak on your Ten-Tec Receiver compared to other receivers: 1. Ensure that coils T6, T9, L10, L11, and T7 have been peaked for maximum signal strength. 2. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor directly from the antenna to the 1st Mixer input (cathode of PIN diodes D13 or D14). If this significantly increases signal strength, there's an error in the shield bandpass filter section.
Why is there a very strong signal at 455 kHz on my Ten-Tec SSB-CW-AM Receiver?
A very strong signal at 455 kHz on your Ten-Tec Receiver is normal. The 455 kHz product detector oscillator (Y2) is being picked up at the RF input.
What to do if the Ten-Tec SSB-CW-AM display is erratic or blank?
If your Ten-Tec Receiver's display is erratic or blank, perform a Microprocessor Reset.
What to do if signals seem off frequency on Ten-Tec SSB-CW-AM Receiver?
If signals seem somewhat off frequency compared to other receivers using your Ten-Tec Receiver: 1. Make sure C2 is adjusted to WWV. 2. Be sure you understand function of Clarifier control.
How to fix no speaker audio on Ten-Tec SSB-CW-AM?
To fix no speaker audio on your Ten-Tec Receiver, ensure the headphone jack cable is plugged into J6 and that the headphone jack is wired correctly.
What to do if external speaker with 1/8” mono plug does not work with Ten-Tec SSB-CW-AM?
If your external speaker with a 1/8” mono plug does not work with your Ten-Tec Receiver, it may be because the front panel jack is wired for stereo. Change the speaker plug to stereo, or change jack wiring.
What to do if only one side of stereo phones is working on Ten-Tec SSB-CW-AM?
If only one side of your stereo phones or stereo speakers is working with your Ten-Tec Receiver, it might be because the front panel jack is wired for mono. Change the jack wiring to stereo.
