That clacking relay on the Omni V is just to key a non-tentec amp. Most people just stuff a piece of cardboard in it to prevent the relay from moving to silence it. Carl Moreschi N4PY more Having rea
The argonaut V runs at 1200 baud. The Jupiter and Orion run at 57600 baud. Is there a way to change the baud rate in MixW? In other words, can you configure MixW for a Jupiter and also set the baud r
I will be making a newer version of my software that will come out at the end of this month. When the 60 meter band is selected, it will automatically set the output power to 50 watts, set the ssb ba
Does the pegasus even try to transmit on 20 meters? Is the license class feature preventing it from transmitting on 20 meters because you have the novice class selected? Try turning off the license c
The "nar" button selects filters at the 9 mhz first IF already. You can use as narrow at 250 hertz in the 9 mhz "nar" position on the Omni VI. There's no mystery. Carl Moreschi N4PY
Bill, All indications are the extra roofing filters are not necessary. The DSP filters have a shape factor of 1.05 to 1 (unbelievable), and the DSP has a 100 db range. I use an Astron 35. You can't g
All these tests were done with the roofing filters disabled. In fact with the roofing filters enabled, no difference was found at all. The shape factors of the DSP filters are so much sharper than th
I will have version 2.08 of my N4PY Pegasus/Jupiter control program out on June 1. It will have full support for the 60 meter band for the Pegasus and Jupiter. Carl Moreschi N4PY a was
Bill, I haven't actually timed to see how long my Orion takes to come alive but I am guessing it takes about 30 seconds. It's certainly not real quick. Your idea about a small battery sounds like a g
Tom, The crystal filters in the Orion are for roofing filters and not IF filters. Their usage will offer very little improvement in most situations in the Orion. The DSP filters will do the main filt
The Orion Crystal filters are roofing filters and not IF filters. The PBT will adjust the DSP IF filters. The DSP filters will lie entirely inside the roofing filter passband. Carl Moreschi N4PY tune
Well said, Duane. To put it yet another way, the purpose of the 9 mhz filters is to reduce or eliminate DSP overload caused by very strong adjacent channel signals not in the DSP passband.
Mark, I believe it does mean that. There should be enough control from the microprocessors to accomplish that. We will know for sure when we get one. Carl Moreschi N4PY PBT inside PBT
Mark, The tuner algorithm goes like this. You tune to where you want to be and then click "Rcl" to recall the tuner settings for this frequency. The SWR is checked and if the SWR is less than 2 to 1,
