Ken: I'm trying to justify buying that K1EL winkey. I am using CW Type to key the Jupiter via the computer's parallel port through a little adapter. It works perfectly. I also use the N4PY software a
Al. Whatever you do, call MFJ before you hook that thing up. I didn't and blew diodes out of a rig. My QSK was external which made it even more complicated. I can tell you this....The previous owner
Try this link. The mod for the OMNI C will work on the Corsair II. www.qsl.net/tentec/mods.htm Too bad you don't have the original Corsair. That one is easy. As for an audio filer. An outboard audio
Phil et al. Just to clear up any confusion. I got home from work and checked the schematic on this mod. The T voltage is being uses, derived from connector 61 on the control board. This is driving Q1
Interesting contrast. My readout follows the mouse instantly but the cw keyboard keying is horrible. N4PY says it's an XP issue. I wonder if Win98 would work better overall? If so, I could press my o
There has to be more to this XP/Keyboard thing than meets the eye. I run XP and CW Type to generate Morse. Attached to my LPT is a simple adapter that isolates the port via optical coupling from Hose
Per TenTec...On the Omni VI+, they came out with firmware 1.03 in an attempt to eliminate the microCHIRP. The revision added a delay to the keying of the PLL's oscillator. The downside to this is tha
Ok. You want to know what full QSK is? Full QSK is when you can hear EVERYTHING that is on your frequency INCLUDING YOURSELF. Speed is NOT a factor. Speed could be INFINITE and you would still hear E
Wow what a bargin! I'll bet it even has some cw filters too? This one won't be around long. 73 Steve N4LQ -- Original Message -- From: "Gene A. Williamson" <genewill@ordata.com> To: <tentec@contestin
The feed impedance of that short antenna is much too low. You are going to melt down your tuner. Any tuner will get hot and consume a large percentage of your RF power when attempting to match such a
Mike. I started to reply with a barage of antenna information and caught myself before I went off the deep end. Just let me conclude that: 1. That vertical is not balanced so forget about baluns. (Yo
Information keeps leaking out. What's this about an "older and newer tuner"? What are they? Steve N4LQ -- Original Message -- From: "denton" <denton@oregontrail.net> To: <tentec@contesting.com> Sent:
It must have components that are more tolerant to heat. This is all moot since you're not going to transmitt with it anyway. Steve N4LQ -- Original Message -- From: "denton" <denton@oregontrail.net>
Ron: That was a very informative post. I've been playing around with PY software and the Jupiter for a few days and picked up a few tips from you. The logging program is especially interesting and ho
That would be ok except when you are in the middle of a QSO and your radio suddenly changes frequency. Steve N4LQ -- Original Message -- From: "Jeff Griffin" <kb2m@comcast.net> To: <tentec@contesting
Tom: I agree that the sidetone should be a true representation of the transmitted signal however there is a delay between that and your ears that can throw off your timing if you are using a keyer or
Surfing around, I can find only one control software for the Jupiter that claims to be a "contesting" software. The rest are just daily loggers. Has anyone found an alternative? The one by W3EWL look
I don't see where Writelog interfaces with Pegasus. Have you verified this? The contest software would have to have all the front panel contol capability such as volume, RIT etc. etc. I don't think i
Wow. That's nice to know. It seems to be a well kept secret. I studied the N1MM software and it appears not to work with Pegasus. Thanks Carl and I'm still looking around for others if anyone knows o
So assume that you must use N4PY software if you are going to use Writelog and that the radio will not function in stand-alone mode and still work with Writelog???? Am I thinking correctly here? Of c
