Thanks for the gloss on OmniRig... although I am already familiar with what it, and use it regularly with my FiFi SDR. I am not sure your list of roadblocks is universally applicable. None of those t
We have 400 members familiar with it. But that's just us. Each contest team or each DX team has their own story. It (I cannot resist...) Er ... if you have 400 members on the team... you had darned w
-- NOT SO, DICK TRACY ! There IS a way. I use a 4-port serial port PCIe I/O add-on card that gave my new computer 4 old fashioned serial ports. NO USB-SERIAL ADAPTERs in my shack. These look and act
Then the people behind the middle ware app control which radios will be considered for use by the contest community, and by extension, the bulk of the active Amateur Radio community. -- Not at all.
However I never once said that Omni-Rig was the reason that for this, because it's not. James made that bit up himself. -- Sheesh... got a case of selective amnesia, Rick??? Can I have some of what
Kim -- Yes... I found it confusing at first, but once I caught on, it seems indispensable. John Henry -- My take on spectrum scopes is... too little is not enough. Yaesu put a small spectrum scope in
OK by me. But ... if it is connected to the computer, you could easily write software to allow you to interactively tune the rig with a mouse or keyboard action, and I suspect it would be more diffic
I think it goes out to "Ten-Tec Ambassadors" and you can sign up for that on the TT Web site. -- JHR -- How do I get on the newsletter list? I am a happy owner of a Jupiter, Argonaut VI and and Argos
First you make a statement. Then you say: "However I never once said that Omni-Rig was the reason that for this, because it's not. James made that bit up himself." What a colossal waste of time. Sorr
$4000. -- JHR -- t how much we would be willing to pay for all of this. ________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@con
Yeah... me too... that is a very important point, Cecil. That is why I use my Omni VII with N4PY software in "Radio State." I like front controls, which is why I don't use a totally computer based so
Yes... I you seem to misunderstand the setup. If I understand your terminology, a band map, skimmer, or spotting site can tell you what other guys are seeing, and doing. But, it does not tell you wha
Good question, Rodney. Nope... not kidding. Kenwood sells the TS-990 for $8,000, and it has worse specifications than the $1500 TS-590 - AND GUYS ARE BUYING THEM. I WOULD PAY $4440 for a radio that b
TT says that they plan to emphasize "affordable" products, and I'm sure that's a good business decision. Rather, I'm saying that if they do bring out a new "flagship" radio, make it the best on the m
Ah... Yes... I suppose this has strayed a scoche a little off topic, but I enjoy the history, and it sure beats the usual "My-rig-can-beat-u-your-rig" "Ten vs Brand X" spitting match ! ;-) I am confi
Off Topic question: What are you using for a call sign look-up database with your logging program? Online? CD? Which? You may answer off list at the email addy below, if this is too far off topic for
Not an argument... but a question: How do we know it is the transceiver and not the amp in a given case? Reason for asking, is I anticipate the transceiver makers blaming the amp market for it. Is th
Heck... freq-ing yes... produce it! And BRAG about it. Sell it right, as the next great thing, like everybody else is wayyyyy behind the curve... like you sold the Orion as the best %$#@ receiver out
LEE -- if you do go for it, some wise guy put together a helpful circuit that matches computer type headsets to ham transceivers - page 64 of the November 2013 QST magazine, or I can send you some in
Jim, I agree. Advertising dollars is the reason. -- I am not entirely convinced by the ad dollar argument. I doubt Yaesu would pull all its ads because QST magazine says something silly or reports a
