Hello, Original Poster, Well, I am guilty of the same offense that seems to plague almost every question posted here... I didn't answer the original question. Good idea to call Ten Tec. They may tel
the maintenance of Right on! I joined this list to talk about TEN TEC, darn it, and I don't want any mention of anything else cluttering up my inbox! Ten Tec only, understand? of this list. That inc
Steve, It tells you that the phase noise of the Icom is 6 dB higher. This phase noise causes something called "reciprocal mixing". That's what you're hearing. But nobody cares about phase noise here.
Tom, I meant to ask you this when the subject of 100 wpm CW first came up in this thread a while ago. Thus, I have changed the name of this sub-thread. When you're receiving CW that fast, how much do
Now that we've established that the vast majority of CW ops strongly prefer QSK under all operating circumstances, I have a question. Do the vast majority of SSB ops strongly prefer VOX-- which is so
Wow! Arrived home to find a barrage of replies. Very amazing replies. Let me make a couple of observations. I really wasn't trolling at all with my question, as I was just curious about an apparent d
Tommy, Is this 500 W spike that "most radios" produce always there? If so, then what protects the grids of the tubes in the PA under normal operation? Or maybe I don't understand exactly which radios
So now I'm confused. When you talk about "the ALC does not act quick enough to stop the spike", are you talking about external ALC, that is, a cable from the amp's ALC output back to the radio, or ar
Thank you, Tommy. This thread started off discussing external ALC between rig and amp, and has ended up talking about internal ALC in the rig only. I wanted to point out this very important point. I
Just as I thought I was beginning to understand this thread, I've been thrown back into a quandary. What is the flaw in my understanding here: 1. The Orion can't send CW over 42 wpm. 2. The Omni 6 c
Okay. That's what I thought you said. Thank you. Again, I understood this correctly, too. Thanks for clarifying. Wow. Tom, I am certainly not calling you a liar, but there are things in this stateme
Hi, Rick, Yep, you're right, this 'dit shortening' is very common, and you just haven't noticed it before. Please see my previous post about it at: http://lists.contesting.com/archives/html/TenTec/2
I just saw the Icom 7800 review for the first time. Without ragging on the reviewers, because I'm sure they are all good guys, this review tells me very, very little about the electronic performance
Lest anyone get the wrong idea, strictly speaking the Orion is not a software-defined radio. I remember Scott at Ten Tec reiterating this point here on the reflector during an early thread on the mer
Hey, Rick! Thank you for taking the time to reply. I agree; it's a fuzzy definition right now. I work for a company that defines the cutting edge in digitization of signals and SDR and things like th
