Do a battery reset and then a normal reset. You should always do these when changing firmware levels. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays, NC 28635 -- Original Message -- From
There seems to be an issue with some Orion II's with 2.037j that causes the baud rate to be off a little. The fix is to set the baud rate at 56000 baud instead of 57600. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little
Direct conversion receivers are prone to pick up AC 60 hertz hum as the result of modulation of the VFO carrier (which is at the operating frequency in a direct conversion receiver) with the 60 hertz
What is the RF gain set at for the sub-receiver? Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays, NC 28635 -- Original Message -- From: "Bernhard Hoidn" <bernhard.hoidn@online.de> To: "Te
I only suggested checking the RF gain setting on the Sub-receiver because an RF gain setting of 0 would cause the sub-receiver S meter reaidng to go to maximum. It sounds like that is not the problem
Yes, I am using 2.059d and have clear audio. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays, NC 28635 -- Original Message -- From: "John" <fraz1@bellsouth.net> To: <tentec@contesting.com
The rx320 interface works beautifully with BeaconSee when running the Jupiter with my N4PY software. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays, NC 28635 -- Original Message -- From:
I am running the Orion with version 2.059d firmware. I am noticing that I must run AGC on a very fast setting in order for QSK on CW to work properly. With AGC om medium, some of the transmit signal
I just got an email from ON4UN asking him why he is selling his Orion. He is so happy with his Orion, that he bought 2 Orion II's a few months ago. So this review is completely bogus. Carl Moreschi N
I am running the Heil goldline with the HC-4 and HC-5 elements. The last firmware version (2.059d) added a hardware preamp for the mic input. This solved all the gain problems with the Heil mics. Car
I have a Shure 444D desk mic here. I have not wired it up for the Orion to try it. It does have a high/low impedance switch on the bottom of it. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain
I set hardware mic gain at 18 db and software mic gain at 20 for the HC5 element. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays, NC 28635 -- Original Message -- From: "Carl G. Hindy, Ph
What do you have the RF gain set at? Any chance you have inadvertently switched the antenna for the main receiver to the wrong setting? How about the attenuator setting? Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little
The steppir controller has 2 modes of operation. Listen mode is done only when the steppir controller is used in conjunction with another control or logging program such as my N4PY Orion control prog
A crystal calibrator is an accessory that provides a marker tone at known exact frequency points. Normally, they provide a tone at each 25 khz point. So for 20 meters, you would have a tone at 14.000
Nope. An LCW signal goes up in pitch when you increase frequency. A UCW signal goes down in pitch when you tune up in frequency. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays, NC 28635
If you have excellent ground conductivity, then the radials are not very important how they are oriented. But with poor ground conductivity (the normal situation), the vertical will radiate best in t
The new filters are available in the software interface. The 150 hertz filter has the same shape factor as the original 300 hertz filter. It is much narrower than the 300 and is quite effective. Carl
Has anyone figured out if the notches in 2.059d and 2.037j are back in the AGC loop or are still outside the AGC loop? I have been away from home and I cannot test this myself until Sunday afternoon.
I finally got back home and just installed version 2.059d. What I am finding is both the speaker and headphone volime require a higher setting than 2.056. On 2.056 I could set the volume to 50% and t
