Lee OK...well maybe we both missed each others point. My response to you was about your remark to the affect that if someone is asking for a rig to work full QSK at 100 wpm, are they just 'bragging'.
Then I must be paranoid also because I can not sit with my back toward anything but the wall, in public. I have an advantage over you. I have been told (and more than one time too) that the reason I
Hi Gary, Exciting, isn't it? One thing you should not do with the Orion, is think that you can master it in 30 days. Unless your a super whiz, its just not going to happen. But then you have the adva
Jim, I also have a Titan 425 that I have run QRQ with for some10 years. Had to change that vacuum relay annually! Anyway I got my hands on some 'used' mili-spec Jennings relays, the first of which ha
Then I would suggest you NEVER look at the keying waveform verses the RF output waveform on your scope, of the Orion...that way you can stay happy!! Tom - W4BQF 70
Interesting! I just talked with W9FAM last night on 40m. After he got his keyboard set up better, he put something in his keyboard buffer. It was very clean and clear CW at 80 wpm. Try that with your
That's OK Rick, I understand. Unfortunately, I think Ten Tec has taken your exact track on the amplifier/QSK issue. The Orion, with the latest versions of firmware, v1.371 and v1.370, will not work w
It's a competative thing...is their radio the best, or is ours? IF our rig is the best, we shouldn't be 'afraid' of having it compared to ANY other radio, in my opinion. Technical discussions never i
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 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
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
