I need to wire my Brown Brothers paddle in advance of the arrival of my Orion. Could someone tell me the dit-dah wiring of the tip/ring/sleeve (I'm assuming it's a 1/8" stereo plug?). Are there 2 hea
I'll go grab the manual off the website now. A key jack on the front of a rig...just like the good old days! Wonder if the keyer can be configured as a bug which then you allow you to plug a straight
Pure FSK produces no other signals than the mark and the space. AFSK through the mike introduces 1)Hum 2)Hiss 3)Distortion due to RF feedback Both intra-mike and internal tones can introduce (dependi
Boy..I may be getting senile but I recall when I owned my TS-930s (before I got my Omni-V) they claimed "FSK" and had a TTL keying level but when you examined the schematic they were just feeding fix
I've used the Bencher/MFJ and like the feel but I'm so fat-fisted that when I was moving things around on the desk that I would inevitably hit the paddles which are held in place by springs and "BOIN
I've written Carl directly but wonder if there is anyone on this list who knows the default baud-rate of the Omni-V after this chip is installed? I need the actual baud rate... saying "It's the same

Very well put Ben. The biggest difference between cars is the drivers... the biggest difference between radios is the operator. Actually...Of the hundreds of rigs I've owned I did come across a coupl
LOL - I almost mentioned the Swan series...with the "Flip the swich to the right to transmit...flip it back to receive" CW operation. And don't get me started on the 350-500-700 watt power evolution
Ed... Bob-K2TK and I enjoyed some New England hospitality during our tour of ARRL headquarters last November and saw for ourselves your setup and the room where "You are shielded from government spie
Thanks to all for the replies!. I agree.. I think I'll sit back and wait for some feedback from the guys who get their Orions before me and hear what their thoughts are. I have no complaints about th
As an owner of a Titan 425 I'm sure interested in your post. Mine was one of the last one's made. I have not noticed much drag on mine (YET!). I don't want to look forward to something else failing o
I've been experiencing a rapid failure rate on the Mallory 450VDC 400mfd filter caps in my Titan 425 AC supply. Symptoms: 1) RST 591 in contests 2) Reducing drive level on Omni-V.9 to 5 watts still c
I should have done that while I was in the PS.. Those Silicon Alley units are good quality and cheap too. Where did you get the 80mfd 5KV oil well? Is there a surplus outfit selling them somewhere? M
I just jumped to 12M to work the VP6 (using 10M band position) and "THUNK" the band swich now is acting like...well..no detent. Or an offset detent. I need to rock it back and forth between pressure
Problem solved. I found that the switch itself was coming apart. The nuts that hold the ceramic wafers together on the band switch had come loose and the entire assembly flexed as I rotated the knob.
All points well taken. I need to get some air flow into my floor resting P.S. I like your white thread = air flow design. Mine either wasn't turned on much or was cleaned regularly. Even the fan blad
Uh-oh! I hope when I turn on my Orion for the first time I don't see monochrome clouds and a "Your Orion was not properly shut down. Please wait while we restore the system"! Of course...my Titan 425
Dave - I blew a cap on 40M this morning so I've got to open up the Titan again...might as well upgrade some of the other caps in there as well. Please e-mail me the info you offered...thanks! Tom K2T
