In the old days, there were no reliable methods to measure power output. Watt meters didn't exist that were in any good unless they cost more than the transmitter. In fact the FCC restrictions for po
Just so you know, I have just added a feature to my Omni VII program that will automatically control the Tokyo Hi Power HL 1.5KFX amplifier through a second serial port. This allows full control of t
No, not at all. My Omni VII frequency is extremely stable and so is the power level. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays, North Carolina 28635 problems with this rig? A friend
The DSP/AGC artifacts noted by Sherwood in the Orion can be completely eliminated by adding a very small amount of hang time. They were caused by the AGC being so fast that the noise came up between
Tentec had a kit for $25 way back then that added 30 meter transmit and 24 mhz transmit and receive. I added this kit to my Omni A series B back in the early 1980's. From memory, there were a few coi
Don't overlook the possibility that the Trition was protected from reverse polarity by a reverse diode across the 12 volt supply connection. If this is the case, the diode would most likely now be sh
I just released version 2.37 of my N4PY Omni VII program. This version adds in the new features that Tentec has just added to the Omni VII. TRIP and RIP compression are now in the program. And RIP is
You can also just get a 4 port USB to serial converter. www.keyspan.com has one with four serial ports. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays, NC 28635 -- Original Message -- Fr
I have been running the exact combination for some time. The 8 watts out of the transverter will drive the ACOM 1000 to 200 watts, a pretty good 6 meter signal. And if you combine this with my N4PY s
No, the transverter output on the back of the Orion and Orion II is a very low level milliwatt output. It is not sufficient to drive the 1209. Also, my software and the N3FJP logging program work ver
The resets for the V.9 chip were required when people did not follow the correct procedure to initialize the band register values. There was a setup step that was missed by several people at installa

Under program control, using my N4PY control program, squelch works in all modes. And my program can handle the transverters very well including automatically reducing power to the transverter drive
I misread the topic. My comments refer to using the Omni VII with my program, not Omni VI. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays, NC 28635 -- Original Message -- From: "Carl Mor
Both my Omni VII and Orion were used at field day. Each radio made about 1000 QSO's. They both performed flawlessly and handled the excessive QRM beautifully. 80 percent of our QSO's were made on CW.
The locut and hicut controls are really for SSB and not CW. They move the passband just on one side of the passband, where as PBT moves both sides in the same direction. When you move the hicut contr
Both the Orion and Omni VII were used directly in local mode. There was no ethernet connection to the Omni VII. We used CT for all our field day logging. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell
