[HQRP] Re: Asking for advice

[Pat J. Whelton]

Mark.  I just finished the Ten-Tec 1320 and didn't have much of a problem
other than the physical positioning of the toroids.  Once I jacked around
and jacked around and jacked around with them I FINALLY got it to work.
It's a positioning thing relative to some other components on the board.

I've been having a blast with it.  So far I've worked HC8, CT, VP5, PV0, EA8
and EA6.  Not bad for 3 watts and a dipole under the eve of the house at 8
feet.

Oh, yea, I'm kind of an old dude (57) and I had a lot of problems
identifying the parts.  My wife lent me her lighted magnifying glass on a
swing arm and that helped a ton.

You may also want to check out this link
http://www.io.com/~n5fc/tt13xx_mods.htm.  Monty, N5FC, has built several of
the 1300 series rigs and has some worthwhile modifications.  He was also
very helpful in answering several of my questions.

Good luck.
