My N4PY software for the Argonaut V will key the ArgoV without any keying interface. It just sends software commands to the radio to key it. The program also has a built in CW keyboard. See my webapg
Jeff, In polling mode, my N4PY software only reads the frequency form the Orion every 2.5 seconds. If you turn polling off, then when you tune from the pod, the program is driving the Orion and this
Jeff, How does the SteppIR get serial data while my program owns the serial port. Maybe I could work something out here and make the best of both worlds. Carl Moreschi N4PY Franklinton, NC -- Origina
Version 1.370 is fine except if you are controlling the radio from a program. The serial port response is much worse on 1.370. If you are controlling the Orion from a program, you should go back to v
I have had an IC-7800 to play with over the past few weeks. I have been making comparisons with the 7800 and my Orion. Here are the filter shapes for a few settings for both the Orion and 7800. All t
The filter measurements I made for the 7800 were with the 7800 in the "SHARP" setting. Carl Moreschi N4PY Franklinton, NC -- Original Message -- From: "Bill Tippett" <btippett@alum.mit.edu> To: <tent
I just sent out version 1.09 of my Orion software to all registered users. If you are a registered user, you should now have it. 73, Carl Moreschi N4PY Franklinton, NC
I just sent out version 2.15 of my software to all my subscribers. If you are a subscriber and did not receive it, make sure you have at least 2 meg of free space in you mailbox and send me an email.
The original paragon was reviewed in May 1988 QST. The Paragon II operator interface is very similar to the Omni VI. Carl Moreschi N4PY Franklinton, NC -- Original Message -- From: "George Maier" <Ge
Yes, it transmits either LSB or USB with a carrier which gives you single sideband AM. You can select which sideband you want with a tricky key sequence on the mode buttons. Carl Moreschi N4PY Frankl
Mark, Your 1.05 filter shape still won't be in the pegasus AGC loop. This will make the filter the same as can be found on any good add on audio DSP unit. In order for the steep skirts to really help
I concur about AGC. It is supposed to be automatic and not manual. I use medium or slow AGC for CW and SSB reception. I ALWAYS run my agc threshold at 0.37 uv and RF gain full. I cannot find any exam
I've tried this test many times. I do not hear the weak signal distortion with an AGC decay time of 20db/sec and a hang time of 0.35 and a threshold of 0.37 uv. These values work very well for me for
Maybe noise is the difference. I live out in the country and in very quiet radio location. 73, Carl Moreschi N4PY Franklinton, NC -- Original Message -- From: "Ulrich Hilsinger" <dh0ghu@dh0ghu.de> To
The Orion S meter never goes below S1 period. The Orion firmware uses S1 as the base S meter value and will not let the S meter go below this. I find the RX340 S meter will show some signal strength
I used to run a Timewave DSP-599zx with mine. It worked very well and solved all the selectivity problems. You just have to use an isolation transformer to drive the outboard DSP unit because neither
The Timewave 599zx has a frequency range of 50 to 5000 hertz and works very well. But it sells for $400. Carl Moreschi N4PY Franklinton, NC -- Original Message -- From: <N0KHQ@aol.com> To: <tentec@co
No, I never have any problems with RF in the shack at all. My antennas are located 300 feet from the house. I run a hard line cable underground from the house to the antenna control box. I relay swit
The 300 hertz bandwidth is measured between the 6 db down points. This is the normal method of measuring filter bandwidth. It is not unusual to hear signals down 40 to 60 db from this point. That is
They are in trouble with lack of funding. Anyone who uses eham frequently and likes it should support it. I small donation of even $15 done by enough hams will go a long way to keeping this great ham
