On the Pegasus / Jupiter / Orion net last evening, someone mentioned that TenTec told them at the hamfest that they are working on a new mid-range (between the Jupiter and Orion) transceiver and a ne
Joe, Try ac5og - that is a valid, and the correct call.. There is an excellent article about SDR (Software Defined Radios) in the October 2003 CQ Magazine. 73, Mark and I rig. it's what at
As long as we're dreaming, how about a small internal monochrome display (as now), but with a "standard" video connector for an external color monitor. The hardware cost for a PC type video adapter w
Duane, Ethernet would work, but the internal software would have to support an external interface to get the data. For example, the spectrum scope on the Jupiter screen is better than anything you ca
no Good point. When I first got my Icom 756 (original), I thought the display was "ugly" and wished Icom had done it differently. The more I worked with it, the more I saw how it fit the operating n
That would be nice, but I imagine that inside a computer is a pretty nasty with computer generated RFI. Even better would be an automatic sweep function that would do the sweep (with special AGC) an
I've uses a Timewave 599zx with my Omni VI (opt 3). I don't know if the same applies to the 59+. The DSP has much narrower filters for CW. Also, I like being able to adjust the spot tone level on the
I've not used the StepIR antennas, but the technology does interest me. I think part of the attraction may be the physical tuning to resonance. Though I've read many of Kurt Sterba's Aerials columns
Jason, The monitor output on the Jupiter and Pegasus doesn't reflect any TX audio adjustments. You need to listen to yourself in another receiver, or get on-air feedback from others. 73, Mark
John, If you look at the schematic for the Pegasus (so I assume the Jupiter as well), the front and rear inputs go through identical input circuitry so that there is no advantage to one over the othe
My understanding (from reading Reflections II) is that this power is re-reflected regardless of whether a tuner is present. Assuming that your transmitter can handle the mismatch w/o folding back ou
Ever since the people using the Orion started showing up on the 40m Pegasus / Jupiter / Orion / Argonaut TenTec SDR net, I've noticed that I can usually detect the use of an Orion by the distinctive
Rob, I think the audio levels are correct. The signals sound fine. I just think that the Orion is able to get a better peak power using some sort of DSP "magic". Mark scan
Dave, I've had a lot of fun with my Pegasus. While it's no Orion in the performance arena, it certainly has a lot of bang for the buck If you are talking about the PT-11P from LDG, I have heard that

shack That's not suprising. I have found that those USB serial ports are not 100% compatible with all software. I ordered one and found that it wouldn't work with the N4PY Pegasus control software,
Yesterday, when I was using my Pegasus / RX-340 combo (using N4PY software), the top left LED display (the one with filter, PBT, etc) info went blank. The functions still seem to work okay, both unde
Marty, The Argo has it's own protocol. I don't think it emulates any other radio (even other TenTec's). You can download the protocol specifications from the web at http://www.rfsquared.com/ArgoV/Arg
