The ARRL poll has me wondering. What is the distribution of operating modes on this list? Are we 80% CW? Maybe some computer smartie can figure out a way to construct a poll. I'd guess mostly CW but
OK, Paul. I bet a few of us could produce good pics for you and the Unofficial page. I see by your web page you want pics in JPG format 50K bytes or less in size. 50K is pretty small. Is that still a
Hey guys, Are any of you (lucky) Orion II purchasers going to be able to run the II side by side with the original Orion? I'm curious how the new compares to the old, and there's nothing like a real
Maybe I'm easy but this strikes me as very noteworthy. TenTec monitors the list and responds to comments! Gee, I don't get that kind of treatment by Honda, VW. I doubt I'd get that treatment by Kenwo
When I send CW, I hear a relay clicking. I'm guessing it has something to do with non-QSK switching for a linear (which I don't have). Is it something I can disable to quiet the rig? - Keith -
All this talk of the Orion II is NOT making me jealous! Why? Well, I'm glad you asked. I happen to have in my hot little hands, a tracking number for a rather nice decked-out Omni V that is on the wa
I do SW for a living. Bugs are a way of life. They happen and cannot be eliminated. You can follow good process do testing at different levels, etc., but still they are there. In my world I find the
That's fabulous John. You have me itching to buy a new Ten-Tec radio ... It would be fun but also the LAST thing I ever did! - Keith - A beautiful Omni VI Opt 3 just arrived from Santa...oh what a ni
She's already not so happy about me getting back into Ham radio without selling off all my air rifles. To get back in with a vengeance would be ... Foolish on my part :-) I'll just have to suffer alo
Yes, but ... Getting people to actually follow the process is the trick. It is so tempting to cut corners and ship it as soon as the new function is proven to be working. It takes a lot of fortitude
Hey Rick, I think I know what you mean :-) The new (your old) Omni V reads S9+10 when my old one read S9. I'm thinking about getting the elecraft test signal to set the meters BUT ... wait a minute.
Hey folks, I'm new to the list, but not new to TenTec. Well actually, I may have been on the list 5 or 6 years ago but I don't recall. I run mainly (not exclusively) CW and enjoy QRP. I've been a ham
Hey guys, I got no response to the Omni V question so let me try this one thought at a time. How good are the TenTec CW filters? Are they good or should I go with Inrad? TenTec 250 and 500 hz filters
Good data Dave, Thanks! What I see is the TT is a bit wider and the skirts aren't as steep but the ultimate rejection is much better than the Inrad. Between the two, I'd go TenTec. Am I missing somet
Hi guys, The Omni V I picked up is showing a bit of raspiness on RX for both SSB and CW. I tried two different speakers and headphones, but the problem remained. The TS-830s sounds smooth and pure in
What don't you like about the TenTec 250 Hz filter? The filter positions in the Corsair II has a different gain settings to compensate for filter insertion loss. The extra gain of the narrow slots ma
I currently have an Omni V and a TS-830s. My prior rig was a Corsair II. I have not had the chance to A/B compare the Omni V and Corsair II so my comments are based on memories of the CII from 5 year
You may be right. My memory of that specific aspect of the rig is vague. It was 5 yrs ago that I last used it. The audio-derived AGC was one of the things I didn't like about the Omni D. I learned to
*snip* --even with the keyer off! *snip* Ah, the answer to this is simple. ... Straight Key ... Sorry, couldn't resist. I've been rediscovering the old-fashioned straight key. My keyer and oh-so-swee
