Gary, I don't really experience a pop on AGC like you describe. FWIW, I use 200 ohm Z headphones and typically have the volume level around the half-way mark. I use fast AGC on cw with no hang. I do
Steve, I know nothing of your methodology in generating the spectra that you've been sharing. I was wondering what steps you took to match rf and af gain on the two rigs in order to feed equal amplit
Steve, FWIW I'd suggest using the headphone outputs and match the level between the two rigs with NR off. 73, Barry N1EU __________________________________________________________________ Switch to N
Considering how much patience folks on this reflector have shown you and tried to help in the true spirit of ham radio, I'm dissappointed that you display such disrespect on this reflector Eric. 73,
I don't see it as that black and white. People get frustrated when they can't figure out someone's intentions - I'll leave it as simply stated as that. Again, I don't see it as "accepting the Orion
I agree that you should go through and set all the thresholds quite low and then don't touch them again. However, I tend to adjust RF gain by increasing it to just past where I can hear band noise. I
I'm way down the food chain on hearing of the fix but don't understand why it shouldn't be public. All disclaimers, but I believe it is enabling both keying loops even if you're only using one. 73, B
I honestly don't think anything is gained by twiddling the AGC Threshold independently from the front panel RF Gain control. Have at it, but I fear the perception that there's something to gain (no p
It was the original implementation of the firmware, before the RF Gain control was reprogrammed to add control of AGC Threshold. The only thing you can't control with the RF Gain knob is the minimum
It's based on experience. Not sure what relationship you assume between a low value of the AGC Threshold menu setting and "DSP essentially turned to max". It's been stated several times that the AGC
Frank are you saying that if VFO A and VFO B are on the same frequency and the amp is tuned to that freq, you get an ARC fault if TX-VFOA and RX-VFOB and you don't get an ARC fault if TX-VFOA and RX-
Makes sense to me. Someone might find the radio too complicated because of the menu system, etc. They might buy the rig initially because they hear of its super peformance but then find they have a d
I can't answer all the questions but I use an Acom2000A. It's an autotuning legal limit (+) amplifier, with extensive microprocessor control. It monitors a slew of operating parameters and protects a
Evidently it's an Arc Fault condition. In my experience, the 2000A is particularly finicky about detecting this specific "fault" condition. No, not at all. My 2000A is quite happy driven from the Ori
While we're expanding the Orion line to an Orion Jr, I'd like to see an Orion Plus with an identically excellent receiver as the subreceiver. My second pipe dream would be for it to feature an intent
I just wanted to share some anecdotal data on Orion/Acom compatibility. For the past few months I've been using the Orion/Acom2000A combination in qsk/keying loop mode with no problems whatsoever. Th
The problem and solution are also present on the higher bands and reducing drive has no effect. I'm just going to leave the filter inline, where it normally sits. I reported this info to potentially
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
