Steve, If you only drove your car to the store and work, the flaws would never show up. It is only when you try to drag race or do NASCAR that the flaws show up. How many hours do you think they spen
Hmmmm, I don't know. My neighbor had a 125 foot deep well with a metal casing. The top was about the level of the grass. Lightening hit is and took out many things, including the well pump, sprinkler
Mike, I use Ham Radio Deluxe. It is a free program. It depends on how you want to use the program. I like to twist the knobs. But I can also open DX Summit in the program and if I am on the band that
George, If you look at the design of the Orion I, it is using "old design techniques" of converting the first IF to 9 MHz. It is much easier to make a tight roofing filter at 9 MHz then one at 45 MHz
Grant, I guess we don't have a complete meeting of the minds. It seems that all new equipment designs are using the conversion to a very high IF frequency, allowing continuous tuning. Ten-Tec chose i
Carl, I notice on the Orion when I change bands, the built in tuner goes into the bypass mode. If I change frequency in the same band using the stacking function, the tuner does not switch to bypass.
Dave, I use Ham Radio Deluxe and enjoy it very much. I keep my log with it. I can use it on either the Orion or the Jupiter. But I let the radio control it. I have a high speed connection so I have t
I guess that makes me real OLD! I was born the day WWII started. --Original Message-- From: tentec-bounces@contesting.com [mailto:tentec-bounces@contesting.com] On Behalf Of Larry Menzel Sent: Saturd
I have installed 2.056 in my Orion I and it is working well. I have not seen any comments from anyone other than saying it was on the web site and what the changes were. I botched the board mod when
Grant, I look at it as some people insist on still running DOS programs while most people use some type of GUI interface. In time, both spark, AM, and DOS will disappear. 73, John 2.028 did not inten
I thought it was for spark and AM! DOS is hidden behind the GUI. :-) One uses the term "both" when referring to two items, not three or more items. You can correct the grammatical error by removing "
Ken, We will eventually understand mental telepathy and not have to waste electrons trying to exchange thoughts. Then it will all be obsolete. 73, John Sail boats and sailing will be gone, as well as
I had trouble installing my 1.270, yet HamRadio deluxe worked fine. I took a shot in the dark and did a master reset and then tried again. When I did that it loaded in seconds using XP Pro SP2. 73, J
Try a master reset and then see if the USB to serial cable work OK. 73, John I can't communicate with the radio. Do I recall a discussion that you must use a serial cable and not a USB > Serial conve
Dan, Last year I sent my 262 and Omni D to Ten-Tec for a "tune up" and in going through the power supply, they found some loose grounds (not the coffee type!). I think some of it was corrosion. I bou
Dave, I would suggest you only need at PTO rebuild kit. I just did a rebuild on a Triton IV and it was not difficult. But you indicated that you are not comfortable doing the work. If you send it bac
Ron, Have you tried different antennae? I have been told that if there is oxidation where the feed line meets the antenna, it can act as a diode and create images if the broadcast station is strong.
Jim, Was your SX-99 a microphonic as mine? I had a Globe Scout 680, Knight kit VFO and radio that seemed to warble if I breathed on the table. Good memories! 73, John Yes BUT! Will it be as much fun
John, I plan on keeping my Orion I. I saw a comment by Carl, N4PY, saying that the Orion I with mods will be 99% of an Orion II. I just wish they would finish the software for the Orion II so they ca
It is also my understanding that TT completely bench checks each rig before it goes back out so if there is a problem, it will be caught. 73, John, W3GQJ Gang There does not have to be anything wrong
