Interestingly, if I remember correctly, Scott described at one time on the reflector that the TCXO did not have better stability than the earlier crystal oven. They moved to the TCXO because the oven
None that I'm aware of, Natan. I run WriteLog, DX4WIN (and MMTTY) with my Orion all the time. It plays very well. Occasionally WriteLog seems to miss a beat in polling (once every 300+ QSO's in a con
Lee, That doesn't happen with WriteLog. It correctly picks the RX VFO. Works fine with DX4WIN also, setting and reading QSX frequencies (on my Orion I). 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas ww
I use it a lot -my antennas are non-resonant on various bands, and the auto tuner saves me cranking my 238B knobs when I'm just running barefoot. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa
DX4WIN for general logging and awards chasing, and WriteLog for contesting. MMTTY for RTTY, which is integrated into both DX4WIN and WriteLog very nicely. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas
Hi Ron, I'm curious what you find you like about the ICOM 'scope? I was over at a friend's house and their ProIII had the scope running and it was sweeping at about a 2 Hz rate - a far cry from the O
I've remember issues some users have had with the audio path (speaker vs. headphone), and if DSP is on, it could be anything. What do you hear if all DSP options (NB, NR, Notch, AN) are turned off? S
It may be more reliable, but I've found my Orion I running Ver 2.056 (DSP 2.01b26) occasionally "wakes up" in the state Eric has described. I hear it most often on 17m, and, as he noted, power cycle
Check the B+ (12v) going to the power amp module- this is a weak link and the connection to it might have been "broken" when you moved the module (heat sink is directly connected to it, as I remember
John, I've seen IC-765's for ~$850 or so. Pretty reasonable for a fairly nice radio. I owned one before my Omni VI+. I like the VI+ much better, of course. I'd guess the 850 would be a close competit
Ciao Adriano, There is no service manual for any Ten-Tec radio. There is the user manual, and then there are all the schematics available on their web site. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texa
Dale, You should borrow a CI-V manual from someone. I don't know if ICOM has it online or not. I have one here if you can't find one - I could mail it to you for your use. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5
George, Have you written to your log software writer? 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com I have been complaining of the completely absurd settings when clicking on a packet spo
Carl, This is also done well in other rigs, and I (along with others, probably) have requested the "Quick QSX" function in the Orion. It would be easy - long press of the A>B button could copy A->B,
Interesting - I use the bandstacking registers all the time on my Orion I with the latest firmware. I have them set on all bands to CW, PSK, FSK, and SSB freq and mode, and they are 100% repeatable.
My approach to that is perhaps a little cumbersome, but I believe it's the same with all rigs that have bandstacking registers - I cycle the band button until I'm on the one that has the mode I'm goi
Both are good points, Bill. Apparently they have the "left hand / right hand" problem. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com --Original Message-- From: tentec-bounces@contesting.c
The Centurion uses a pair of 3-500Z's or ZG's. and one of my original pair got a grid-cathode short after about 2 yrs of use. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com If this is the
Check the B+ wire going to the amplifier module. There is a history of this "rivet" and wire connection opening up and needing to be resoldered. Happened to my VI+ after 5-6 years of use. 73, Duane D
