Carl, I'm wondering what the FLEX 6x00 IM looks like in a three or more transmitter environment. During my working years I often was confronted with A+B+C, A+B-C, ..., etc., TX frequencies mixing in
I agree with Bob, a SDR like a FLEX-1500, (you can buy or build for a Soft-Rock for less) along with a basic PowerSDR like program and a Radio Control Program (DXLab Commander for example) with a com
James, I found some of the answers to your questions at http://www.w1aex.com/fifisdr/fifisdr.html . I believe the real issue will be the audio sampling rate you select / require for the bandwidth of
Can you hear the Omni TX on the dummy load using the 706 in RX (no antenna)? Or put the OMNI TX on the antenna and 706 RX on a dummy load.. Can you hear the OMNI VI? 73 & DX, Gary - AB9M So far, it a

I have both a Corsair-II w/ the 263G and the OMNI-VII. I find both need to be run frequently. I'll keep the Corsair-II for old times sake and as my back-up, but the OMNI-VII gets used more for DXing

IF you have or build a cable to provide band information to the 253 from your OMNI-VI option 3, the 253 will remember the tuning information for each band and antenna position (4). If you don't have

I operate QSK and have the past thirty years using TenTec equipment. One reason given by others for not running QSK is that the relays wear out sooner in the transceiver and amplifier. from http://ww
I've been running the TITAN-425E full QSK since day one, (well over 20 years) using a Corsair II, OMNI-VI+, and OMNI-VII using the TT keying loop. None of the TT radios failed nor has the TITAN-425E.
Set your radio mic gain with the TT-715 in the OUT position. The TT-715 has an output level setting on the back. With the PROC Gain set to about seven o'clock or just about 6 dB of clipping you shoul

A TenTec 705 microphone into the OMNI-VII with the TX ROLL OFF set to 150 Hz and TX BW set to 3400 and TX EQ 0 dB driving a Titan to 300 W (on peaks) is said, on the local 160 AM net, to sound just e
Yes. Your audio is really dependent on good audio in from the microphone. The TT-705 and 706 have a nice sound. Some of the competition (DX & Contest) microphones roll off the low end at 700 Hz and d
My Corsair II manual says the EXT T/R jack is derived from a set of N.O. contacts on the auxiliary relay. (DO NOT USE to SWITCH 120/240V line) When operating SSB the drop out delay is switched out...
