Yes, I only notice it when headphones are plugged in, and in my case it isn't severe enough to warrant doing anything about it. Simply moving the headphone cable is usually enough to clear it up for
What I hear in the headphones is a "classic" RF hum. I don't know what the "sidetone artifact" problem refers to, but since I don't know, I probably don't have it :-)
Funny, I don't notice any interaction between main and sub rx volume. The two are independent in my Orion II (2.037j). I never tried it on SSB, though, only on CW. 73, Ray W2RS
The Argo V is a great rig. I've had mine for 2 years and I never get tired of it. But, it runs only 20 W and is not designed to drive an amp. If you want more power than that, go for the Jupiter. 73,
Maybe it's my poor web-surfing skills, but it doesn't look like the 10W-input amps are available in the US. HRO carries the 1.5 kW job, but it requires 85W. Do you know of a source? 73, Ray W2RS
Hi Ron, I thought so! Looks like a good solution to me, but I don't work QSK much. My main amp here is a 30L-1 which can be driven either with my Orion II (through an Ameritron ARB-704 interface) or
David, I have them all, but find myself using the 300 Hz filter only in contest situations. Otherwise, I toggle back and forth between 600 and 1.8. That's for CW -- someone else will have to respond
I use auto filter selection after I've decided which of the optional filters I want to enable. The narrower the filter, the more insertion loss, so you don't want to enable the narrowest filters unle
I never had a 565 Orion, but I do see noticeable attenuation with the 300 Hz filter and slight attenuation with the 600 Hz. My default operating position is 600 Hz enabled, 300 Hz off. 73, Ray W2RS
I hear a sliight echo when listening to Main and Sub, but no over-weighting. The rise/fall setting makes no discernible difference to my Sub sidetone (2.038k). I normally leave it at 5 ms. 73, Ray W2
The price is not in the DEMI catalogue because their 6m transverter is out of stock and "temporarily" out of production. Besides moving to Florida, DEMI is awaiting parts for a re-designed unit. No w
True, but some new laptops, such as my Dell Latitude D240, have no line input, only mic in and headphone out. Those work fine, as long as you adjust the audio levels correctly. BTW, I'm stll using XP
It doesn't affect me personally, because I don't have any CC&Rs governing antennas, but around 90% of our radio club members here in Green Valley, AZ, do live in antenna-restricted subdivisions. Our
operators, rather than CW, and more casual operators (with money, of course) rather than dyed-in-the wool CW DXers (like me) or contesters. The other day, I overheard a QSO on 20m SSB in which one of
Even though the Coast Guard supposedly abolished the need for CW in 1999, some maritime CW operation continues, largely through the efforts of the Maritime Radio Historical Society, a group made up m
