Ref, the discussions here about used bandwidth. How about the occupied bandwidth of the "comming" ditital audio signals. Per Doug Smith's web site, a unit is now on the market, a gadget called an ARD
Great, the Feb. QST will get out here to Kauai by barge by, at least, the second week of March!!! Could pay for airmail/1st class our here, but that is about double the dues cost. Perhaps the review
Mine certainly is crisp also. I can "hear" a light tick sound if I rock the knob after switching, but only a very slight movement of the knob pointer. So little, in fact, never noticed before until
Rick wondered: [Between the ARRL measured data on the Elecraft site, and the Ten Tec data at their site.] Yes, there are differences, I believe I have previously read somewhere, in "exactly how" the
Comment made: I believe that this is "on purpose". As I think I understand, from prior posts on this issue, in exchange for a slower synthesizer, we are given very much lower "close in" phase noise w
I believe you could, but you would have to have Carl's program loaded twice, with one of the programs using a different COM port from the other. Not sure if this would work for real SO2R contesting,
Bob, 5B4AGN, wrote, in part: Ok, Bob, guess I missed your earlier post. Hope TT can come up with a "replacement" processor then for all these overhead functions. Maybe have to be a board swap with th
It was written: Looking at the Elecraft comparisons, occurs to me that the IMPORTANT numbers are superior with the Orion, in particular look at the dramatically better phase noise number for the Orio
I thought the Orion Main rcvr did not receive much from outside the amateur bands. Here are the parameters of the ARRL test and the reported data: "Second-Order Intercept Test Description: This test
Please pardon the previous incomplete post, same subject from me, this is the one intended: I thought the Orion Main rcvr did not receive much from outside the amateur bands. Here are the parameters
More: Is it possible to measure IP2 of the Orion, and for it to have some real meaning.....Yes: The second order IM products occur as f1+and- f2, Or, how about a real measurement of IP2 results; how
It seems to me, that the fact that the indicated output power on the test instrument was +63dBm with the preamp both Off and On, further indicates that what ever was being read had NO relation at al
The test instrument DOES NOT readout +63 dBm as I wrote above! But some output power well below that number. The IP2 number of +63dBm is an EXTRAPOLATION to the intersection of two straight lines who
Nope, not at all! Why, because, as do you, I don't think the IP2 number represents anything of importance to users, unless there is something about the design that IS allowing out of band signals to
With obvious worry, it was written: My input on this: I have had my Orion since the middle of last May. Used with a linear DAILY, including the 10 meter CW contest just passed where 1500 watts out we
I should have also said that Rich, K1CC was the guest op here for some of the contest; Rich "ran" pretty constantly on 28020, plus/minus just a little bit. Was going at close to 100 Q's per hour rat
