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

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

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 Carl Mor
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. Jim KH7M wrote: 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
