Frank, Thanks for you info. Where was the C82 and the 220k resistor that you changed located? On the ACOM or the Orion? Thanks. Tom - W4BQF -- Original Message -- From: "dott. Francesco DI MICHELE" <
Well Rick, I have to disagree with you. You actually hear very few 'negatives' about the Orion. As with any new advance in technology, there is going to be some growing pains. This is the Ten Tec ref

Phil, Not nit-picking here, but why would the specs leave out insertion loss ? One of the most important specs for anything after your final RF output device. Also interesting that very few manufactu
AMEN...on switching power supplies...you WILL find RFI noise somewhere if you know what your listening for I run an Astron 70 amp linear supply, which has an external fan. However the fan has never k
Almost indisputable Al!! My Orion sat silent while I used my Omni 6 Plus for the SS. My Plus could certainly use the Inrad roofing filter, but it's just not ready yet. With the bugs still remaining i
Yep. Lotta fixes for the 'buzzsaw'!! Check N1EU (may have that call incorrect) website for several C II mods, including a replacement audio sine wave generator designed by N4LQ. Filters work, the SCA
Just a small observation...the speed of the CPU has very little, if anything to do with the speed of the serial port. If your need faster I/O speeds, it's probably best to look at using USB 2.0 ports
Joe..... Carl has nailed the problem exactly. There is nothing you can do with your computer that is going to solve the problem. Tom - W4BQF -- Original Message -- From: "Carl Moreschi" <n4py@earthli
Rick.... Your friends problem is not funny, but I just have to sit here and chuckle to myself. For some 14 months I have been talking about this problem and having to read the responses of how I must
And on 7.019.8 is EA8/DJ1OT so the bands are trying to improve. BTW, he is S-7 here in south Georgia. Tom - W4BQF Change that call sign to "S5045A". Must be a Pirate! But he's 20 over here in Munich.
Your right....I copied 'OJ' but typed it wrong. He kept saying he had a simple antenna, but he was holding S-7 pretty steady when I heard him. And he had a mini-pile up from the US calling. Tom - W4B
I know your heart's in the right place when you say that and for sure I hope you are correct. What makes that somewhat difficult to believe however, is the excrutatingly slow progress with v1.372. An
What IS full QSK? Maybe when you hear between dots and your sending at no more than 30 wpm. Or is it when you hear between words when your sending at 50 wpm, Or is it when you know someone is breakin
Well of course speed is not the issue. I, too, was sending during SS ab 26 and 28 and 30 wpm and my Titan 3 worked flawless but it was being driven with my Omni 6 Plus. Seems like a lot of folks who
Deer Al, From my meger experience, there is no difference in QSK capability when running an Omni 6 or an Omni 6 Plus or a Corsair II with or without a Titan 425. I say Titan 425 because that is the a
'Figure of merit' ? I don't think so. The primary purpose of an amplifier is to amplify. QSK in an amplifier is a sometimes added luxury. I think if you would get same Ten Tec manuals and study the s
Al, Would you do me a big favor and get off the '100 wpm' crap!! As far as I know, I am the only one who made that post. Ten Tec does not sell only to me. If you acutally have anything to add about Q
Hmmmm....good point Paul. But that brings up the question, if you have proper 3:1 element lengths, why would you have to fiddle with the weighting? Or , is it really correct that the 3:1 ratio is pro
Next time you hear one, you better record it because they are rapidly fading away...! Tom - W4BQF Personally, I like a good Lake Erie Swing. -- Original Message -- QSK elements?<snip> but I find 3 :
