I'd like to play around with that version 2.042A code tonight. Does anyone still have a copy they can send to me? Lin WB1AIW linbdavis@earthlink.net Ron Castro wrote: Here are a list of problems I fo

Hi Hank, This won't be a direct swap-out. The replacement is larger, has more pins, and is a surface mounted device. Also, to be adjustable, a trimmer circuit (simple) needs to be added. I might be i
Hi Martin, I'm all in favor of a higher stability oscillator. Don't know if my enthusiasm stretches to $135, though! A couple of features I would be interested in for the oscillator: 1. Electrical tr
Hi Ron, I did get a firm quote of $135 each for 10 pieces, with a 12 week lead time! You had a concern about the output. I asked for the LVCMOS output option to make it a little simpler, however some
Hello folks, Primarily for the reason below, I've been considering drastically reducing the frequency drift over temperature that my Orion II experiences. So I contacted Abracon Corp to see if they'l
2.041 Users, Set O2 for AF AGC. Then try setting the AGC to SLOW or PROG, then go into the RX menu and turn the decay rate to less 6dB/s. I found that severe distortion occurs. Further, a decay rate
Here are some findings and opinions with the 2.041XL. I used spectrogram software (Spectrum Lab) to measure/observe aspects of the behavior. 1. When AF AGC is invoked, there is a full 20 dB drop in a
Hi Kim, Back in the spring, many of us posted here regarding the NR. As Grant suggested, you can check out the archives. There's good (historical?) information there. The manual section regarding NR
This IS becoming a semi-annual thing isn't it. :-) It isn't just the topic, it's almost literally the same discussion. I'd call it déjà vu, but it's more than just the "spooky feeling" we've been her
I'm going to go out on a limb here. The following is based on what I understand about discrete-time filters, and I admit I am not fluent in their design, but may understand the theory enough to post
Bob, My O2 sidetone also sounds fine, even with 2.037j. Can you record it as a .wav file so we can take a listen?? Lin WB1AIW ps. There is a t/r relay in the rear of the Orion that makes a quiet clic
Hi Dave, If you haven't sold these items already, I'd like to buy them. Thanks, Lin WB1AIW Londonderry dbp@tds.net wrote: HiI have a few Ten Tec accessories to sell, all are in excellent condition. 1
Hi Grant, etc, What you say about the "distortion" actually being the noise that had been suppressed until the cw element or ssb signal raised the gain is accurate. There is added distortion, though,
Dream NR: Very similar to Ron's thoughts. I would love if the O's had both DE and a leaky adaptive predictor filter and we could chose one or the other or both and be able to vary each separately. As
Hi Grant, Thanks for the info. Interesting. I respect what you say, and hope that if you find out it what they are truly doing, you let us know. I'll do likewise. I totally agree that with a constant
Is there not room here for all of us? Lin WB1AIW I've been a ham for a very short period, but have already discovered that the participants in this activity are very similar to photography enthusiast
Hi Ron, Just curious if you have hardware NB on when you experience the artifacts. I haven't put v2.033 on yet. I just had a listen to a 40 meters, about 1 khz above a strong BC, with AN set to 9 and
Hi Lee, When you first power the O2, the ALC LED should come on for a short moment as it powers up. The sequence is 1. S-meter backlight on. 2. S-meter backlight off and all front panel LED's on (inc
