Joe, I heard the same compression effect as you until I turned off the AGC in the second rx. The effect is also not heard in the Orion monitor (its subreceiver). I haven't used the specific mics you
Same-same here Mike. I honestly don't have any use for it though and would put it at the very bottom of my Orion wish list. 73, Barry N1EU ____________________________________________________________
If it only works with the internal keyer, that would sure explain why it doesn't work for me ;-) 73, Barry N1EU __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape I
I use the subrx a large percentage of the time for stereo diversity reception with a second antenna. On the low bands, I'll feed the subrx with either a 2nd Beverage antenna or the TX antenna. I do e
The subreceiver has a 1st i.f. of 45Mhz and a 2nd i.f. of 450Khz and lacks the provision for a narrow roofing filter. It was never intended to be a competition grade receiver. I wish there was an ext
Yes, and the 4Khz wide filter showed no improvement in the MP's close-in cw performance. The Omni VI and Orion fitted with the 600hz (9Mhz) roofing filter performs so far above the nearest competitio
I looked at this briefly and believe there are off-the-shelf 4khz wide 450Khz i.f. ceramic filters that could just be dropped in where the 15khz filter is. Perhaps some experimenter might try this on
There might be a mode-specific control signal that could be tapped and used to trigger a relay if you wanted the filter switched out for wider modes. Personally, I don't mind losing FM on the subrece
I believe Inrad includes instructions with the filter and it is probably also in the Omni manual. I did this about 5 years ago and it wasn't difficult. I can't remember if I used a general coverage r
Without drastic surgery, you'll only see modest improvements in the audio response, especially at the bass end of the spectrum. The Omni was never intended to do hi-fi ssb. 73, Barry N1EU ___________
You're correct Ken. Any Omni 6 with an option upgrade is not an Omni 6+. Some owners/sellers improperly refer to their upgraded sixes as pluses. 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________
Rick, I don't think this is correct. I think Steve N4LQ described it accurately. To the best of my knowledge, Ten-Tec never called a 563 of any ilk an Omni VI+. 73, Barry N1EU _______________________
Same here (owned 2 opt 3's). There was a factory sticker on the rear that indicated the option 3 was installed but I don't think that is what Rick is referring to. 73, Barry N1EU ____________________

I do a fair amount of contesting and 99.9% of the time listen for callers with a wide bandwith on my receiver. Unless two callers are on exactly the same frequency or there's an AGC issue, I just don
500hz is fine IMHO. If you go any wider, you risk the rx getting clobbered by the neighboring running station. 73, Barry N1EU __________________________________________________________________ Switch
Rick, this isn't my first brush with binaural "magic". I got the latest and greatest DSP599ZX when it came out several years ago because of the binaural hype and it just didn't do much for me then or
Apologies, but I really should have qualified this statement. I've posted before about my own comparisons that showed the Orion gives up nothing to the FT-1000D in this regard. The Orion is as good a
No, the Omni C IS the D series C, but it was called the Omni C. 73, Barry N1EU __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape Internet Service. As low as $9.95
