Yea, right! Radios are made of hardware, particular active devices and specific arrangement of components called design. Software can only do tweaking of variables (switches, "pots", etc.) in the des
On the logic board schematic, top left corner, 1" from the left, 2" from top there is 4 pin connector, unmarked, it is 87 with signals marked from the top: CLOCK, DATA, EN and Gnd connection. Yes, sh
Hi Ken, here is one picture from my "stack", as Orion arrived it was put on the top of TS950SDX, IC775, FT1000D - awaiting immersion and tests with review. It is in JPG format, just add .JPG 73 Yuri,
What you call "factless testing" is a practical test by one of the top hams in low band "business" looking for particular feature of the receivers - ability to discriminate S/N in real life situation
Re: I dunno, I thought reflector "mailman" would figure out and translate, but I guess not. I tried to resubscribe back to reflector, but so far no luck, three tries and zilch luck. True too, but if
If the message wasn't copyrighted by K0CQ, I would have copied it here and replied. Correction. I was thinking of RF amp 6DC6 instead of mixer 6BE6 (better mixer was 6EH7), sorry. Yuri, K3BU
K6SE's endeavours were NOT tests...only the opinion of one guy sitting in a shack somewhere, using his memory to evaluate multiple receivers. This was NOT testing guys--DUH! This is opinion...hello..

<< The Omni VI is well documented in ARRL tests in QST magazine, and in the advertising over several years, as having a lower noise floor than Yaecomwood transceivers. It is therefore more sensitive
<<Holy Mackell--can't believe what I've been reading on the reflector about the OMNI VIs. Don't youze guyze (or y'all) have lives? Maybe when we pass through those Pearly Gates there will be a perfec
