I disagree. It is comparing the technical capabilities of two different radios. God forbid that we start discussing only the CW merits of the Omni 6 and the Omni 6 Plus, against the Orion...you just

I like it when a ham speaks up when something is bothering him...way to go Al! (But be careful or you will be put on the same list I'm on : 'one more bad word from you about our gear and you will be
Hi Carl, W9FAM has both an Orion and an IC-7800. He was running at 80 wpm using his IC-7800 and it sounded excellent. Tom - W4BQF his MFJ _______________________________________________ TenTec mailin
Hi Duane, I used to run an IC-781 and my Titan 425 at very high speeds and full QSK. Of course the Titan 425 (and the Titan 3) incorporates the KEY IN and the KEY OUT circuitry. You simply connect yo
Oppss...I think we just described the same set up, only different rigs...!! Tom _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/m
Hmmmm....my statements may be somewhat misleading or incomplete! The Orion will handle full QSK with the Titan 3. However with the Titan 3 in the Keying Loop of the Orion, and running v1.371, the Ori
Well, I'm leading you astray again. Forgot to mention that this is going on at 'normal' speeds of 30 to 40 wpm!! Or in contest where I normally run 28 to 32 wpm. Not too many 'dps' at that speed! Tom
Hi Bob and thanks for the suggestion. That certainly has been under analysis for some time. I first tested my Titan 3 with an Omni 6 Plus, then a modified Corsair 2. For the past two weeks, I have ha
Please don't take this as a cheap shot Eric, it's not intended that way. My suggestion would be to ship the 756 and 761 filters back, or sell them. Put the 762 in your desk drawer. Open the Orion box
The Omni 6 shifts the second IF. Will probably be able to tell you about the IC-7800 soon. Tom - W4BQF _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http:/
Well, being a CW only op, I have to disagree with this just a little. My Orion does not have the 1.8kc filter, so today when I received my 600hz filter, I moved the 1kc filter into the empty 1.8kc p
I've never actually sat down and tested it that way Steve. What I mean by QSK is can I be broken at what ever speed I happen to be running, be it 30 wpm or 90 wpm. Yes, to the Corsair 2 and an IC-781
Yep. How many days after a contest, can you still hear signals in your head? The brain cell does some funny things to us. My ears developed a very good low pass filter after spending 3 years sleeping
Yes, I think your correct. I was told that as soon as they generated sidetone with DSP, their QSK speed dropped about in half! But with the Omni 6 series, it turn out to be 'pot luck' because my Omni
the Orion, I think it is used to adjust the Tr/Tf of the transmitted wave form. TT also, starting with the Omni 6, uses the DSP to generate the sidetone, and evidentially that takes time, thus the r
Nope...I won't go the Kenwood or Yaesu route. Maybe we could come up with a stable frequency control and add your audio generator in the Corsair 2 and just hang onto the Omni 6 forever? Tom _________
I think some are getting hung up on the 100 wpm thing. And the speed is not the point...the point is just the FUN of doing something like that. Since my two strokes, I'm lucky to be doing much betwee
Excellently written Jim. Guess one could conclude that in the Orion, the 25 ms key in to RF out delay points out some deficiencies in either design or firmware implementation? Thanks for the good exp
600hz Orion Sure than the roofing Hz Bill, I'm well aware of the 'problems' with the 500 and 250 Hz filters, but why would a company release an unfinished product? We all know the reason for that. A
