Al, Actually, I had planned on doing both 441 and I-40. Home is London, OH (20 miles west of Columbus, OH). We plan on travelling to Sevierville (via Cincinnati and Knoxville) on Friday for the open
Skip, I had a similar problem when I was cycling audio routing options after selecting binaural rx. I found that I could restore audio by turning bin rx back on then turning if off. 73, Mark for
I was tuning around the SWBC bands and noticed that the Orion rx filters don't seem to have sharp skirts in AM. The signal I was listening to was being interfered with by a carrier 5 kHz away even wi
Carl, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I consdered this, but the filter skirt is still different - at least by looking at the audio spectrum. In SSB, there is a very sharp skirt. In AM, it's very gradual.
Paul, I have a 6N2. If you are looking primarily for a 2m FM radio for repeater work, I wouldn't recommend it. The FM performance is not up to that of current 2m FM mobile rigs (which can be bought f
Yes, I've asked for the source code to the Pegasus and it's not being released (at least it wasn't 4 years ago, when I got the Peg). Mark received a large packet with a became so all perswasive! abou
Rick, If you are looking to shift the entire audio spectrum up or down, you can do this just by tuning off frequency. For example if there is a USB signal on 14.250.000 and you tune to 14.249.900, ev
I think we have to live with the fact that TenTec is not going to make it easy for third parties to create new firmware for the Pegasus (and Jupiter). I'd like to float an alternative proposal to the
The computer would need to use the firmware for some control aspects on receive and all of them on transmit. It would be nice if the user could also operate the radio in a non-DSP mode, so the softw
the There is no jack on the back panel for a 10 MHz (or any other frequency) standard on these radios as there is on the RX-340, so using an external standard would take some circuit modifications.
I have modified my Orion and my RX-320 to make the IFs available to use with the Dream DRM decoding software. Listening to the RCI (Canada) DRM broadcast directed to NE USA this evening and using the
I have used a Kenwood HS-5 for years and would say it is my favorite headset. However, it is mono and the Orion needs stereo (yes, the manual shows a mod to use mono headphones). Has anyone looked in
Modifying my HS-5 was even simpler. When I opened the mono jack, I discovered that the cord was already three conductor (black, white and red) so I only had to install a stereo plug and rearrange th
I've just spent an hour or so monitoring the MM Service Net with their Hurricane Charlie followup using my headphones. This is the first time that I've spent any time using headphones with the Orion
Jay, The behaviour you are seeing sounds like the overcurrent protection is kicking in. I encounter something similar with my Option 3 when I try to tune my antenna using my LDG AT-100MP automatic tu
Rod, You could also do a test to check for the presence of the oven if you've got the Omni VI hooked up for PSK. Tune a few hundred Hz from WWV on 10 MHz. watch the waterfall trace of the tone from t
Try putting some attenuation in the line between the soundcard and the Jupiter. Ideally, the ideal level should be with the soundcard volume about mid way. That way the PSK meter has a lot of room to
Don, am the function function)? malfunctions Orion CW I see you've gotten at least one answer, but let me add my comments. I have owned both the original 756 and the 756 Pro, but not the Pro II. I co
I'm not sure about the connector for the Herc, but I built my own cable to interface my Omni VI, a homebrew remote tuning knob (couldn't find a used 301) and my PC. It's not elegant but it was simple
Scott, How does one define what is a property of the VFO and what is the property of the receiver? I would assume from the design that BW and PBT are functions of the receiver that the VFO should be
