I finally got around to reading the review of the Omni VII in the May CQ. The ethernet connection got me thinking. Apparently, it supplies VoIP which contains digitized audio. Is that audio good enou
First, you probably shouldn't run more that 30 or 40 watts on PSK31, so you really don't need the fan. You don't need power with PSK31. I used an Omni V on PSK31 and (at least my Omni V) wasn't reall
I hadn't thought of it as a "headroom" issue. The main point is that a PSK31 signal cannot tolerate any non-linear amplification. Actually, the intelligence still gets through, but the signal is badl
I know this is old hat, but I still wish TenTec would update the Pegasus firmware with the most recent features (3+ years ago) added to the Jupiter. Obviously, TT isn't planning on doing any further
TT Firmware is a sore spot with me. It's been years since they updated the Pegasus firmware. Last year (2006), they updated the Jupiter firmware with an additional narrow filter which is one thing la
According to the TenTec firmware website, www.rfsquared.com the latest Pegasus version is 1.201, released 6/25/03. If you find a Pegasus with an older version, you can always download the latest vers
Thanks for the information. I understand the concept of remote operation. The only issue I have with the Pegasus is how to control the power to the radio remotely. Do you just leave it on all the tim
It probably depends on the USB / Serial adapter. Some USB / serial adapters work with some software and not with other software. Others may work with the other software. There may also be a problem w
Well, duh! It is a kit. But I will say that the proof is in the operation. Once you work with it, you find the user interface intuitive and easy and a pleasure to use. The things that you need to cha
I have an opportunity to pick up an Omni V from a friend who is upgrading equipment. I've had a couple Omni V's in the past, but wasn't into CW when I let them go. Now, I'm mostly QRP CW and think th
Yes, You need to bring the 12 kHz IF signal out of the Jupiter and feed it to your soundcard input. Fortunately, the 12 kHz IF in the Jupiter and Pegasus is already the correct level, I've fed mine d
Harry, So one would think, but after the latest (last year) Jupiter firmware (with the narrower filters) came out, I sent an email off to DitsnBits asking if they would make a version for the Pegasus
Take a look a the High Performance SDR project. Not only open source software, but the equivalent open source hardware. Granted, this is a group of dedicated individuals, not a company out to make a
