I also thought the software NB was near useless until I cranked it up to 9 one morning when the OTH radar was on 40m. The blanker took it out! Gary W7TEA I certainly do not find the software noise bl
I had my hopes up as well. Figure it's been over three months since the last update and there are still a few obvious issues. Maybe the new year will bring new firmware? 73, Gary W7TEA Well, it looks
I would be interested if anyone has found appropriate NR settings for CW which they feel work well--for either Orion or Orion II. I've been totally unsuccessful in getting anything other than a disto
I've noticed the distortion on the leading edge of strong CW signals as well with v2.059. Although to a greater extent, I had the same issue with v1.371 and v1.372. My rig was last updated in the spr
John, Simon hasn't updated HRD for v2 firmware yet. Inaccurate S- meter readings is one such result apparently. Don't think it's related to your new PC. My HP laptop shows the same thing. Gary W7TEA
Lee I noticed the sidetone/spot issue as well. Until this firmware version, I've found the spot tone volume less than the sidetone. So, when I had the sidetone at the level I prefer, I could hardly h
I believe the same thing is happening with 2.059d for Orion. The difference may be that in prior versions (2.056) just the opposite was happening--at least with my rig. I'd set the sidetone to a comf
My 8/04 Orion/AT came with a LDG tuner. When LDG released the new Orion and Jupiter tuners this spring, I bought an updated chip for $25 to provide 100 memories. Only had to cut one trace and solder
I doubt the board is a 217, 218 or 219 with four crystals. These boards have 6 or 8 crystals I believe. The pictures on the accessories page of the TT site do correspond to the filters in my VI+. htt
Ed, I was in the same situation and found a very nice Ten Tec Centaur amp. Runs QSK beautifully and puts out about 500w. I put in 572B tubes for the 811A's. Runs quite well on 110v. Only drawback is
Bob, I too wish there was more flexibility when assigning VFO B to the main receiver. For example, I believe the larger display font should be used for whichever VFO is assigned to the main receiver.
Always wondered why Orion discussions didn't occur on the Orion list of the same contesting.com reflector. Without the history and for a simple mind, it would make sense to me. Gary W7TEA
My experience is limited to PSk31 but found the SignaLink SL-1+ easy to use. You can configure it to use with any rig and it leaves the serial port free to use HRD. Might check that site (http:// for
I understand that as the VI+ evolved, some boards were constructed with SMD technology. Does anyone know if the RF board (underside of rig near finals unit) was built with SMDs in later rigs? If I do
I can think of prices today and yesteryear in different ways. I know that I bought a brand new Toyota for $3k thirty years ago and today, probably costs more than ten times that amount. At the same t
CPI may be related to salaries over the long run but it sure hasn't been for the majority of folks who work for wages/salary in the last half dozen years at least. I'm not saying that is a reason why
I operate CW almost exclusively and also use v2.056. It's been rock solid without some of the audio anomalies of v1.37x and crashes when used with my Centaur amp. I really miss the v1.371 NR though.
