Actually, JT65 requires a bandwidth of 2.5 kHz or more. Set the radio to USB and follow K1JT's directions. You didn't ask about RTTY, but the Orion II works equally well in pure FSK and AFSK. For AFS
Looking at T-T's Web site, I see that they've taken electret condenser mics out of their product lineup. All the mics currently offered are dynamic. Wonder why. 73 Ray W2RS __________________________

I'd vote for 30 meters, unless you're planning to use the 20 meter rig with a good beam. 73 Ray W2RS _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://l
I agree, the display reads a bit low for me on UCW. v3.028 had the same problem. 73 Ray W2RS _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.con
Hi John, You'll probably get as many answers as there are people, since a lot of this boils down to personal preference. Here's my take. I'm using a US Interface Navigator, which I like a lot. It's e
Cecil, I find that the best SAF setting for me is 20 Hz, and tuning the center frequency +'- 10 Hz around my SPOT frequency of 350 Hz. Really helps bring weak CW signals out of the noise. 73 Ray W2RS
Cecil, Right on. The RF gain setting is critical. I set it by ear, don't know any other way of doing it. I used to use an external Autek QF-1. The O II SAF is better (less ringing, easier to use) if
Thanks, Barry. I hadn't tried it on SSB. I'll give that a try. 73 Ray W2RS _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailma
Not only that, but the old Collins spec was 3 S units = 10 dB, not the modern standard of 6 dB per S unit. More broadly, I'm afraid I just don't understand the continuing preoccupation with S meter a
Hi John, SAF = Selective Audio Filter,implemented in the latest versions of the Orion 565 and 566 firmware. 73 Ray W2RS _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@cont
Tom, Mine is set to Mark High, with Reverse not checked in MMTTY. 73 Ray W2RS _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mai
Kim, I just checked my O II. Cranking in ATTN does affect the S meter reading, as does switching the preamp in or out. If you reduce the RF gain, the S meter will rise unless it is below the noise le
No argument with that here. An S-meter can be a valuable tuning aid. But, to do that, its calibration, steps etc. are irrelevant. 73 Ray W2RS _______________________________________________ TenTec ma
I used an Autek QF-1 for 10 years on EME. It's good, but the OII SAF is better. 73 Ray W2RS _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.cont
John, Try holding RECALL instead of USER 2. 73 Ray W2RS _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
Phil, Aux or Both should work. What is your setting of Aux input gain? I set mine to 100 and adjust the level at the interface unit. 73 Ray W2RS _______________________________________________ TenTec
Bob is right. I was assuming that the mic is turned off, but some cannot be. 73 Ray _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.c
Barry, I've been experimenting with my SAF BW, RF gain, etc., and I still find that 20 Hz is the best setting for me in bringing up weak signals. At 10 Hz, the signal is about as strong as at 20 Hz,
Mike, In addition to the spectrum display issue, I have a problem that there isn't enough TX audio gain to support the 707 Regal mic without distortion. That wasn't a problem with v2.044A. Until they
