Really? Has Bob Heil changed the wiring of the TT adapter? Have you opened yours up to see if the PTT ground goes to the shell? Mine is about 7 years old, and it is definitely *not* wired as required
Rereading my last post, I don't like the way it sounds. I meant to sound surprised, not antagonistic! So, I'll try again because I think we have a point of confusion. Bruce mentioned in his posting t
With all respect, Jim, I'd like to keep this discussion to the technical problem at hand rather than attempt to fix the manufacturers' perceived shortcomings. There are lots of rig uniquenesses, and
Mark, There is a similar issue that I've seen. Turn up the volume on the SubRx and watch the Main RX volume output go down! I caught this during the NAQP RTTY as I was trying to check other bands on
Hello Jim, Ten-Tec is not a "religious" issue to me. Yes, you are talking technical points, all of which have already been made numerous times last month, but which do not directly address this parti
Tommy, I'll validate the exact settings this weekend. I don't remember how I had the audio routed to headset since I was not using the them for RTTY, but speaker was set to Both. I'm running FW 1.371
Here is a description of the MainRX / SubRX audio interaction that is evident on my Orion: Orion S/N 02C01874 F/W level: 1.371 Description: SubRX volume affects Aux I/O Pin 4 (Left) audio output Symp
Don't know what it sounds like to the guy sending, but bugs can be set so the "dit" contact is just barely touching - barely brushing the 2 contacts together..... Can he adjust it to make it better?
"The Orion is quite unstable at speeds over about 42 wpm . . . . Ralph Nader will write a book about it soon! Tommy, is that with the internal keyer, external, or either one? 73, Duane -- Duane Calvi
Well, after all the guessing and "checking with experts" on the problem I've been having with my Heil ProSet, the adapter, and the Orion, I think I've found the problem. It appears one of the two wir
That's only because the K1/K3 don't do weight properly. Weight should be the ratio between the dit and dah length, not "on vs off" time in each element. 73, Duane -- Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas
I built and installed the INRAD filter kit this weekend. I took the advice presented here earlier and moved my 1 KHz roofing filter into the empty 1.8 kHz slot (I do mostly CW and digital). All seems
The rigs Ten-Tec sells used are WITHOUT filters. I asked Scott about this when I was tempted to trade mine on the Orion. Mine was full, but they only pay for rigs without filters. So, you pull the fi
Just one more comment on the internal tuner vs. external. I bought the internal tuner even tho I have a Model 238B to use with the Alpha 99. Why? Because both of my antenna systems are used on bands
Here's another idea, but it's built for somewhat smaller space. I found a small oak dining table, 30" x 48", then built an oak finished plywood shelf (hidden center support). The depth could be a lit
Sounds great here, Paul. 599 with a little QRN at 0256Z on 6/6/2004 - hi! 73, Duane -- Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas http://home.austin.rr.com/ac5aa
Someone mentioned a while back that BUXCOMM has an 8-pin molded DIN cable with nothing on the other end. I bought one of them to get to the FSK input and wired up the ones I needed.. Works great for
Now that I can hear great low frequency response with my new Orion, I'm getting a kick out of the guys running expensive microphones and TX audio equalization (W2IHY boxes and more). Some of them hav
