Carl The point is that my Orion is different to other radios and that's why I made my test and posted my comment. Maybe I didn't use the best words to convey what I found. My Orion has a steppy/warbl
The Orion is one awesome transceiver and clearly the best one ever made. So y'all just shut up and accept perfection. ;-) Bob, 5B4AGN, P3F Carl Moreschi N4PY Franklinton, NC -- Original Message -- F
No it isn't. That's what folks are beefing about. If you operate the ptt on CW the Orion produces uninteruptable carrier at full power. Dunno why. Bob, 5B4AGN, P3F Is the front-panel PTT input (on mi
FWIW I relate my experience in this area to date, with the Orion I have here. I am very much a CW man and most of my operating is on that mode. Although one might think that with a full QSK rig the t
A useful contribution Bill, as expected. If that's the trade-off, then it's a very fair one IMO. Though at this stage we're guessing. Bob, 5B4AGN, P3F is peculiar to my Orion. Whether that makes it a
And what has any of this got to do with Ten Tec? But that's what contests are about these days!! Oh yeah, I guess that's why I don't participate in 'em ;-) I'd like to see the contest scores if a guy
What satisfies one man is no measure of what will satisfy all men. If there are contesters who have a strong preference for PTT switching of their stations in CW operation, it seems rather a pity tha
A fascinating idea but on the other hand.....as all cars have wheels why would you buy one without and then have to improvise through the attachment a couple of garden rollers? Bob, 5B4AGN, P3F PTT i
Sorry I don't understand. Though I guess if I could understand your point, it may well be I would agree with it. What is it that you can build for which a nice set of composite OZ's would be a better
Wonder how many angels will fit on the head of a pin?? Think it's time for a separate Orion list to save this one for those of us not interested mainly in contesting and too poor to afford an Orion.
I may be wrong but when folks make reference here to PTT I don't think they necessarily have in mind a physical "push to talk". Many contest stations are set up such that TX/RX sequencing is under th
Carl The computer knows exactly when the last character element of an exchange has been sent and can reliquish PTT at exactly that moment. No delay. Using semi BK-in the delay you set has to be long
Duane You are quite right that Ulrich's initial question was very clear and specific. Ulrich and I have exchanged mails directly about that. However, in his more recent mail he said the following: "I
Paul I believe the key factor is this: When you send a CW exchange the tranceiver doesn't know when the exchange has ended. If you are using the Orion with a non QSK system or you do not wish to use
So far as I'm aware, all contest programs have provision for PTT control. However, I am unaware of any that provide the functionality you refer to for the Orion or any other rig. Bob, 5B4AGN The same
In an idle moment you might care to ponder: 1. What to one man appears to be bitching and moaning, to another sounds like an expression of concern. 2. Those satisfied with mediocrity may never unders
Your interpretation maybe. Certainly not mine. Carry on guys, especially since you have now demoted the Ten Tec design of the Orion by the design team to, in your words, "mediocrity".
Duane You may well be correct about what was in Ulrich's mind when he made the statement. I really don't know and I'm not sure it matters, as I believe we both responded to it with good intent. All o
All of the useful suggestions about sequencing and other ways to approach the functionality some of you can't live without have been ignored -- at least by all of the loudest mouths, who don't seem
* *However, omitting a PTT line in a JA radio is a mistake, but not on a Ten-Tec. I'm not sure I understand the unemotional logic that would label this a mistake if the manufacturer were Japanese bu
