Having made a new transverters for 2, 70 and 23. and planning to use it with
a older sw-tranceiver using for MF covering 20-30 Mhz. So that I have on 70 and 23 a coverage of 10 MHz and the advantage of the MHz digit to be corresponding with the actual freq in use en having the front end tuneble. So tuned to 20.000 MHz i430.000 and 21 Mhz= 431.000 etc. Now a days you find, I thought, on the web for every tranceiver a Mod to release the TX out of the ham band I had in my mind to make the switching following the idea when the transverters are engaged, tx out of ham band is released and when tranverters are switched off or not connected the out of band TX-band tx is blocked to prevent transmitting out of the band, to prevent me of doing something wrong. Having still left a not big digital Ten-Tec tranceiver, an Argonaut II (535) seems be a little sister of an Delta II (536). which nice having adjustable bandpass and bandwith. Before the operation of starting to buils the transverters I already had a look in the manul and there they say it is an easy job expanding it for full coverage TX. It's a very nice rig on hf and would provide me with a very MF for my trnsverters Made everything ready for the receiving side, it really works very nice. Coming to transmit part I provided a low level 10 mW drive output to my transverters. So now I started looking on the web for mods, for the tx frq expansion, I could find mods for nearly every trade mark you can think of, but not for the Ten-Tec and certainly not for Argonaut/Delta II. Tried to get it from Ten-Tec, but no luck so far.. Beside this, I am looking for information about the commandset and the communication protocall to make a little program to control it from a homebrew webserver stamp processor. They were selling an interface 305 to connect a computer and the information was only packed to the interface 305 they were selling in the past, as this item also being discontinued, I also have trouble finding this info. The hardware interface is according to info on the web Icom compatible, making an inferface should be a problem, but on the software side I could find any real info for things like a command set etc. Now can only use it to transmit from 438 to 440 and simular on 23 cm and on 2 m I can use it at all. So I am about to break up the rig and build my own logic for thing, not being able to find this info, (I tried finding out looking at the printbord and the schematic but even these differ and could find the right solution) So who can help me with this modification and info on the software side?
