The correct way to adjust the drive to an amplifier is to use a two-tone test. Two audio tones are fed to the microphone input and the envelope of the RF output of the radio (or radio/amplifier combi
That's a good idea. However, I am more interested in incorporating the tone generators and oscilloscope in the transceiver itself. In the industry, this is called Built-In Test Equipment, or BITE fo
This is an operating topic rather than a Ten Tec-specific topic. Do you remember a couple of years ago when the 80 meter Novice band was shifted down by 25 kHz to 3675 - 3725 kHz? I had thought that
Yuri, I hope saying this does not put me in "TT Worshipers Cult". Seriously, Orion is no longer "ultimate". That title now claimed by Brand X radio. See http://www.icom.co.jp/world/products/amateur/
Hi, Barry, If you hadn't told me that the bandwidth was the same on both, I would have sworn that the Yaesu was set to a wide bandwidth. Maybe it's just the center frequency of the filter, which soun
Yeh, I guess you're done for the day, Barry. Have a good one. I don't know why the SSB splatter would be artifact of MP3 if all you're doing is recording audio output from the rig. Wouldn't that have
It is difficult to tell exactly because of an apparent typo in the article which power lines the BPL is on. It appears that the BPL signal does not come down the 240 V drop into the home, but comes i

http://antennspecialisten.se/~sm5bsz/dynrange/ssa2004/ssa2004.htm Hey, pretty good measurements. A little dirtier than IC-756 PRO but about as good as MFJ-9020 :^) Calm down, I'm only kidding! Al W6
I have been haunted by these numbers all night and all day. It seems that when Icom stated, "Specifications subject to change," that the "Best Receiver ever made" spec was one of the ones that chang
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
Oops, meant this for Rick, not for reflector. Sorry for bandwidth. Al _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/lis
Wow. This is very, very interesting. Does anybody remember the uproar surrounding the Orion's price when it was first announced? Thirty-three hundred dollars, and everybody practically fainted. Just
Blair, you reminded me of something that happened to me earlier this year. I was de-planing from a Boeing 767, and when I passed the open cockpit I stuck my head in to thank the pilots. Their displa
Bill, what do I know-- after all, I've never seen an Orion-- but you have put your finger on something that has baffled me... how come some folks have all kinds of problems during an upgrade and a w

I wonder how important advertising in QST is to the sales of a ham radio manufacturer? If it's really, really important-- as in the primary means of letting the majority of the amateur radio communit
