a funny story we used to have a cheep Conair brand telephone. it had a rin tone like a high pitched bird chirp. I never could hear it ring. at one time I was standing in front of the phone and it sta

I suppose if you figure tube rigs have been around many years longer than solid state rig, they probably are cleaner due to less exposure to dirt , dust and smoke. :) in truth it is just dependent on
I have been following this thread for a while now and I must say that even thought I did own a 756, and still own a 746 pro and the Orion, among others I think I have actually turned the sweep on may
as an aside to the comments below here is my take. Orion running 1.732, alpha 87a, 3 ele steppir or gap voyager, my basic setup . I also have a 5btv, ma5b alpha delta 160-20 sloper and other antennas
I think you both miss the point, about 10 messages back one of you stated the it sounds like it works , eve though it was caused by both the signal and noise dropping causing it to sound like a bette

Just loaded up V 2.056 into my Orion I and notice the screen contrast is much better, but the QSK is slower and the NR seems to be a little better. Need more time playing with the radio and the funct
Yes Bob I've noticed it as well. The Main isn't bad. The title MAIN is offset and now underlined as opposed to be block highlighted when in use before. The SUB is NOT very pretty. The BW is too far t
Again I use an mfj 704 amp interface with all my rigs and amps. I that way never have to think about it, it is always protected.. this stuff is too expensive not to use a little protection. tom N6AJR
Greetings all, I'd like some "brainstorming" help on an antenna for my dad. He is on the third floor of an assisted living apartment facility, and we've been trying to figure out if we can get him on
Radio shack used to sell ( perhaps they still do !!) a 2 prong power connector that looks like a trailer connector. it had a red and black wire attached a nd the plug on both ends, and it was made to
