Your assuming that you can be heard. In weak signal work where you are only hearing part of the audio anywhere, compression really helps. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays,
I think my previous statements on this subject may have been misinterpreted. Any processed SSB signal that sounds very distorted and is difficult to copy defeats the purpose of processing. The correc
He is referring to a feature in my Omni V.9 chip that allows you to correct for frequency error in each band crystal so the frequency readout can be made exactly correct. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Littl
I just got a new batch of chips and have them all written. I have chips for the Omni V that make it almost an Omni VI. These are what I call Omni V.9 version 2 chips. They are complete with stickers

The ALC control on the Orion works by reducing the drive to maintain the desired output. This means that when you set ALC to 50 watts, the drive is cut in half. This also means that you may not have
I believe the Orion would show similar results to what Lee found below. Remember the modern tentec rigs adjust output power entirely with ALC by reducing drive to the final stages. This really simpli
The baud rate for the Orion is fixed at 57600 baud. And a DOS program does have a limiot of 9600 baud so I would say you casnnot do it with NA. But CT looks just like NA and is now free and does have
The frequency command for the argonaut uses a 4 byte binary number for the frequency portion of the message. You have to convert the decimal frequency in hertz to a 4 byte hexadecimal number and then
But the line out is an RCA jack with only a single channel output. So one receiver to the left and one receiver to the right is impossible through a single connection. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little B
I also find 2.059d to be the very best for the Orion. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays, North Carolina 28635 audio chain I have had absolutely no operating issues with vers
It sounds like an internal voltage regulator is messed up to me. I would check all the internal voltages from the regulators. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays, North Caroli
I think a big part of the problem with Orion firmware issues is that TenTec engineering does NOT read this reflector. It is only read by Tentec sales. I think if tentec engineering read this reflecto
This brings up a very good point. I use 2.059d exclusively now. I am an avid DX'er on both CW and phone. For phone operation I use a tentec 234 RF speech processor. I have a audio transformer on the
How far away physically is the paragon from the power supply. It should be more than a few feet. It is possible for the magnetic lines of flux from the power supply transformer to cut through the par

You know I misread your question. I was just reading the FCC Omni VII manual and it is the Omni VII that has 10 volts for the mic connector power. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mounta
I spoke with Gary Barbour at the Tentec hamfest and he said the performance of the Omni VII would be better than the Omni VI and not quite as good as the Orion II. I particularly liked the human fact
Does the ALC light flash when you speak into the mic? There is also a hardware mic gain control in 2.059d. It is in the SSB menu. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays, NC 28635
