It's a long time since I used my VI+ so my recollection may not be perfect but fwiw..... CW offset is indeed adjustable from the front panel and I believe sidetone pitch tracks CW offset. What is not
Arthur Just a couple more bits of info which might be helpful..... The Ten Tec optional 9MHz CW filters are centred on 750Hz not 800Hz as I previously stated. According to the website, which I have j
Impementation of band-stacking ID is a big plus. Many thanks Ten Tec The benefit of adding the SPLIT designator is completely lost on me. Split already being indicated by both VFO A/B switch lights a
Carl Battery reset, master reset and power off/on carried out but sidetone is poor. Interesting that yours is ok. I really don't know what to make of that. Bob I don't understand the sidetone comment
A useful observation Don. I always use headphones. Just checked and mine is fine on speaker too. With headphones, I could live with the harmonic content but the tail end click is really Nasty. Bob, 5
Thanks Carl. Also interesting. I have just loaded 2.059d and find the sidetone to be substantially click free, whereas with 2.060b I hear a pronounced back-end click. Click volume is unaffected by si
Carl I have nothing connected to any form of audio accessory socket, other than headphones. I am an habitual QSK operator and have been for almost 40 years. Any extraneous T/R noise heard in the head
With 1.373b5 I found the clickiness of the sidetone directly related to CW rise/fall setting. With 2.060b I find it independent of this. Bob, 5B4AGN -- Original Message -- From: "Ron Castro" <ronc@so
I'm not hearing any click in my Orion with V 2.060b but I am certainly hearing the "smuck" you describe at the end of a character element when using my headphones. Joe You may be right. Perhaps it i
I assumed so Don but I can't say I'm certain. I guess Carl can tell us. Bob, 5B4AGN Bob, Was Carl listening with headphones on cw? From what I am hearing it is horrible sounding with headphones on. H
As alluded to by Jerry K0CQ, I suspect the material factor distinguishing those who are troubled by the end of element click or smuck and those who are not, is likely to be headphone sensitivity. The
The key is do you have to run the volume higher for headphones than speaker or lower or the same? My volume works fine with the same volume setting for both headphones and speaker. I agree the smuck
Re: Orion sidetone problem. I will send a report to Ten Tec detailing this problem. It would make sense if all who are troubled by it do the same. The harmonic content in my sidetone has diminished s
George See my last mail. I connected my headphones to Orion's external speaker socket this morning and the sidetone was perfect. No clicks. It is almost certain the problem has arisen due to a change
Hi Fred A very versatile unit but at $159 it would be an expensive solution for someone just wanting to interface an Orion to a Yaesu amp. For a few cents, a 74LS147 or similar 10 to 4 line encoder w
Hola Tom BPF and stubs are all you'll need, unless you have two stations operating on the same band. I have run two Orions with high power SO2R to a single F12 C31XR for several years without problem
I have way too many radios! Consequently, I am planning to dispose of some of them. Among these is my immaculate Omni VI+ (Not an Omni VI option 3). This is available for sale together with 962 psu a
I've noticed the effect too Barry, also on SSB. To my ears, it sounds like the DSP is just starting to overload. I remain at 1.373b5. 73 Bob, 5B4AGN Has anybody else noticed slight distortion (clippi
Bill I'm not sure this explanation holds water. The 8 bit D to A will reduce that 1/10th dB resolution from the precision arithmetic to 114/256 dB or just better than 1/2 dB. Unless the S-meter movem
Presentation is a powerful thing. It can triumph over substance. Doug Smith wrote great DSP code for Orion. I don't recall anyone complaining about the DSP code Doug left behind. Despite this, it was
