The Omni VI+ receive audio bandwith is limited to 1600hz or so because of internal passive components (capacitors) and the audio signal passing through the notch filter and DSP ICs regardless of whet
In terms of what K5UJ and K8VT are discussing: one rig's "2.8Khz" receive selectivity is not equal to another's. There is an unbelievable difference between the Orion and Omni VI+ in this regard when
W9OJ asked "How does your Orion compare (fidelity-wise) to your modified Corsair?" Mike, they're both exceptionally good: wide passband and very "transparent" sounding - easy to listen to for hours.
The roofing filter Inrad just introduced is obviously for the Yaesu FT-1000MP. Is there any reason at all to believe that Inrad is coming out with a 9Mhz roofing filter mod for the Omni6? 73, Barry N
W9AC asked "Is it me or are the numbers counter-intuitive?" Paul, where were you for the discussion on IMD degradation caused by the extra preamp stage used for the 500hz & 250hz roofing filters? 73,
Pete, I tend to think it's a little early in the game to pronounce that Icom and Vertex have redefined the price points in the hf transceiver market going forward. Until proven otherwise, I tend to c

Isn't this a simple matter of touching up the alignment of the sideband carrier oscillators? 73, Barry N1EU __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo! Mess
FWIW, I've done some test recording of Orion's receiver audio recovering from qsk xmsn at various speeds with a carrier on frequency, for firmware 1.367, 1.369 and 1.370 and don't see any difference
N0KHQ noted: "The "Monitor" volume needs to be cranked up." John, try turning up your SubAF level control. N1JM commented "I'm also not impressed with the monitor quality." I always thought the monit

I've owned both the Centurion and Alpha 99, which I believe is quite similar to the 91B, except made in Colorado vs. Bulgaria. Bottom line is you'd probably be happy with either amp. If you don't nee
