Quite right... just saying you could play with the Tmate without buying a Flex rig. Considering the Eagle receiver performance, and its reasonably clean transmitter, how is the 6300 so much better? W
Buying a new radio radio is like buying a new car -- you make up you mind you want one, and THEN you rationalize reasons for doing it. (I learned this as a kid from my first real boss... and I still
Huh... some guys are just never happy... ;-) -1- Seems you can use PowerSDR (or at least HDSDR) with any number of low cost SDR receivers and get that job done at low cost. Anything form the FunCube
OK... I get all that, and its a good answer. THAT makes sense. You may have left out another good reason... because it looks like fun ! Happy days, OM. -- JHR -- On 11/3/2014 4:42 PM, Rick - DJ0IP /
--1-- But ... what if the band map does not indicate a call sign for ALL the blips? What if there are blips that are not labeled? --2-- Besides, I think Larry N8LP (the panadapter guy) already provid
Profit can often be a very small amount... I might consider the investment if you meant 15% of gross revenue... ;-) Actually... you may have a good idea ... we could sell covers for HTs first, like c
don't even know what an LP-Pan is. Maybe my XYL has one in her kitchen. ;-) -- Too cute. ;-) Apparently, you HAVE been resting... and rusting... and falling behind after all. ;-) (Just rubbing in tha
HA! EXCELLENT, STEVE. I was thinking along the same lines, It does not seem very sporting if you just click on the cluster window and have the computer tune the rig. That means you must rely on other
Rick... you have already decided you don't want (or need) a panadapter. No problem... because NO ONE NEEDS a panadapter. Nevertheless, some operators consider it another tool in the contest toolbox,
If you use N4PY's software you can program all sorts of things for it with relative ease. I don't do that, myself, but I understand it can be done. Good luck. -- K8JHR -- On 11/20/2014 7:36 PM, P C A
I made a swell 6 meter Moxon (i.e., 2-element parasitic beam) - easy to construct and worked swell. It could be scaled up to any larger size you can build. Expect about 5-6 dB gain. Just MY take. (I
Quite right, Barry !! I am selling a lovely Orion II as is for a mere $2350 (incl shipping) with all optional filters, very low mileage, to a CON US buyer/destination only (maybe to a Canadian guy wi
TT Equipment Question: What is the technical relationship between the Pegasus and Jupiter - do they use different command sets? Are they the same rig, but one has a set of front panel controls? Is th
Thanks, guys... a friend of mine says he is sour on TT gear because they abandoned the Pegasus and the Jupiter has a different command set, but I think he is mistaken - Carl hits the nail on the head
Parenthetically, those little receivers make a swell second receiver if you use N4PY software. You use the band scope window with the RX320 and click on the "blips" to tune tune both rigs simultaneou
Just as I thought... the limitations are few and sufficiently obscure that I don't miss them. Thanks for the uptake. Happy trails and Happy Holidays, OM. --K8JHR --
Interesting/ Last year, there was a hue and cry and a gnashing of teeth TenTec's days were numbered because it discontinued the Orion II. A number of guys expressed dismay and regret they could not l
Thanks for the additional gloss, Ron. I have read about and have seen photos of the Kachina. Considering the popularity of the Flex series, it seems the Pegasus was the "Edsel" of ham radio - a cool
