<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hmmm, same issue with my TenTec on FM....narrow.
Ssb tx opens to 3900Hz and AM to 3000, so I'm assuming FM is 3Kc also. Called
TenTec and they told me that there is no diviation pot. Told me to turn the
internal mic gain up??? My external mic control goes from 0% to 100%...I keep it
set at 1%...what with all the mic pre-amps and such. So I just don't use
FM. Ssb sounds good and at 3kc, AM is usable. Other radios fill the FM
needs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Sorry, the only transverter is the one I
use for 2 and it's the Long Island radio along with the 2950 10/11 meter
radio.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>I'm really happy with the 3000. Ive been making AM contacts on
20 and 40 with great results, and plenty of sideband contacts. I can filter
out encroaching signals next to weak sideband signals, etc with ease. I also
love the 96khz panadapter, which i usually split with a waterfall display.
<BR><BR>that said, the only real issue I've seen so far is that FM doesn't
seem to work properly, and I assume this is because the transmit bandwidth is
limited to 3.3KHz on the 3000. I don't know this for sure because I haven't
really investigated it fully, but there's practically no information about FM
and deviation in the manual. I had hoped to pick up some transverters for 2,
222 and 440 at some point but with out FM it might be sorta silly.<BR><BR>I
know you use xverters, have any surplus sitting around you'd like to
sell?<BR><BR>-Dave<BR><BR>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dave. Been gassing for one of those flex
sdr since their conception. I get an inkling of their performance with the
TenTec Jupiter radio (processor). Ya can really dsp filter out unwanted
noise...to the point where it's like "dead" radio...these old ears need a
little hiss. The dial-a-width on rx and tx along with the pbt are very
usable. All in all a fun l'il radio for the price...I got mine before it
climbed to the $1087 mark, don't know what it is now.</FONT></DIV>
