The vertical axis is time, about 30 seconds per division. You see approximately two complete playbacks of the 1 minute mp3. 73 Martin AA6E _______________________________________________ TenTec maili
It is true that the number of A/D bits is not always the critical number. High-end audio gear sometimes uses 1-bit D/A coverters, for example, clocked at a very high rate. That avoids the nonlinearit
Try to transmit into a dummy load. If it's your DC connection (as suggested by others), your "white screen" should show up. Your DC current draw might be higher when feeding an antenna with VSWR > 1.
Aha. Well, then there might be something resonant at 80 M that is producing a high voltage at the rig. You could try disconnecting everything from the rig, except the antenna coax. (Grounds, mic cord
I have found that v2 firmware has poorer keyclick results than v1 on my Orion. It's not just a question of rise time, but the shaping (raised cosine) of the wave -- gradual transitions at start and f
What's "wrong" is that they haven't done it. If TT offered a good OCXO option at a reasonable price, that would be fine. The TCXO they use is disappointing compared some other rigs - like the IC-7000
Very good 10 MHz OCXOs are available on the hamfest circuit for ~$40, fix tuned. It's frustrating to have one of these but not be able to use it as the Orion reference. 73 Martin AA6E _______________
The Orion is just fine for PSK31 as far as I've ever experienced. That is, as long as you fine tune the signal - with the computer or using the VFO. If you were only allowed to listen on a spot frequ
Ron, Just to confirm, I would be interested in a high-stability reference oscillator for the Orion. (I have the original Orion, which hopefully would use the same parts as the Orion II.) I can see se
I've been using a Keyspan USA-49WLC 4-port unit for some time. No problems, even works with Linux. (Well, it did until the 2.6.18 kernels came out!) These units are physically very nice for wiring co

Alan, This is a very nice effort. Readers may also want to know about Wikipedia's Amateur Radio Project, at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Amateur_radio . There are numerous artic
Unfortunately, there is no such manual available from Ten-Tec. For many of us in the USA, it is common to ship our equipment back to Ten-Tec for service, which is very good by all reports. However, i
"Clicking on a packet spot"? That's not part of my Orion's repertoire! If you are using software to control the Orion, then that's where the problem is. I agree that Orion's front-panel behavior is n
Giuseppe - I do not understand your problem. Please clarify what you see. Are you using RIT or XIT? (normally, they should be zero) What "step size" are you using, and what mode? (SSB, CW?) Are you w
www.eQSL.cc works along those lines. The downside is that such "cards" do not count toward DXCC or other wallpaper. 73 Martin AA6E _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list
And some places here, it would be $1M. I guess it's a question of where you want to live. This is very very OT. Let's not talk real estate on this list unless it comes with a big Ten-Tec station. 73
I suggest you check your Menu > RX > PBT Track and BW track. You should set these to OFF unless you know you want that behavior. I assume you are not using your bandstacking regs? They will change yo
John, My RIT just starting acting up, too. It seems to be a rather common problem. Thanks for the tip on the possible fix. I've had the front panel off too many times now. Have to be careful not to s
Right. The question I have is whether we'll see parallel versions of each new v2 release for the Orion I and II. I would hope so. Time will tell. My fantasy is that someday there will be a v2 release
