I think Carl and Steve are both correct. The audio-derived AGC scheme seems to have continued from the Triton to the Omni and finally to the Corsair. Depending on the rig, there was an audio notch fi
Scott & the entire crew at Ten-Tec: Thank you, thank you, thank you. In terms of contesting rigs, the first significant announcement in years. In terms of Topband, diversity heaven. And did I mention
The Orion description on the TenTec site indicates provision for two receive antennas. After looking at Joe's nice Orion photos (thanks Joe!), I see input for only one rx antenna and switching for on
Thanks for the clarification Dale - I had the wrong impression on the receive antenna inputs. Just guess you might have to add some external protection to avoid transmitting through the Beverage that
I've resized Joe's photos and posted them on my Web site. Under "Ten-Tec", click on the links for the QRP rig or Orion front/back panels: http://www.albany.net/~bg 73, Barry N1EU ____________________
Put my Corsair on the air for the first time in many months (finally fixed the power supply) and discovered that I must turn "Drive" to maximum AND use a little processing to get any reasonable power
Appreciate Carl's good words on the RX-340, but do we really know enough yet to make assumptions/conclusions on how the front end and DSP filtering will work on the Orion based on the performance of
"I believe with the typical low band setup that most of us have the top notch rigs are all the same, or near the same. I've used my PRO extensively and I've never had a serious problem with nearby st
I posted some pictures of the Omni A Series B that is available from the W2ZU SK estate at: http://www.albany.net/~bg/Estate/OmniA.htm (apologies for the less-than-stellar photography) Details: Omni

I believe Clark is correct - the front ends are probably nearly identical. Crunchproof-ness and sensitivity would never be an issue. I'd be more concerned with the AGC performance if this is a run ra
Not so. The references quoted in my previous email, http://lists.contesting.com/_tentec/2002-February/023101.html http://lists.contesting.com/_tentec/2002-February/023110.html specifically addressed
"To extend receive bandwidth outside this bandwidth, you would have to bypass the DSP circuit. As soon as you do this, you will have lost DSP NR, LP filtering and auto notch filter and will have seri
For those seeking hi-fi ssb rx audio from the Omni VI, and who are willing to amplify the audio externally, a quick experiment has shown incredible results from tapping the product detector audio off
The Inrad 2.8Khz filters are really a necessity to complete the "mod". The Triton, on the other hand, benefits from stock 2.7Khz wide filters. For the Omni VI, I'm confident that the combination of t
For those unaware, I'm sorry to say that frequent Ten-Tec list contributor John Jeffrey W2ZU passed away recently. There's a little memorial to him on my Web site including a nice photo of "Jeff" tha
