Yes, the Corsair does run audio derived AGC. And certainly what you are doing will stop the AGC pop that can occur. But the problem with running manual AGC is when you tune in a very weak signal, you
That sounds like overload caused by the AGC not reducing gain enough. If you hear it again, turn on the attenuator and see if that removes the crackling. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays,
I have just put on my website at www.n4py.com version 3.03 of my N4PY Orion control program. This version has full support for the Orion and Orion II version 3 firmware including remembering the SAF
Just on note on using the 9 mhz IF output on the rx366 with N4PY software. I have not added any direct code for the rx366 9 mhz IF output. But it should work fine if the rx366 tracks the main receive
Great going on the Extra. Congratulations. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays, NC 28635 www.n4py.com Gonna fire up the Omni and get back on the air ! Happy trails. -- Richards - K8JHR/AE --
If you run the N4PY Orion software, the display in the N4PY software will read the correct operating frequency. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays, NC 28635 www.n4py.com On 1/3/2012 6:14 PM,
The reason open wire line has less loss is that the dielectrics for true open wire line is air. And this reduces feedline losses for high SWR's substantially. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. H
Loss due to dielectric loss tangent (tan) can be very important. This term is proportional to frequency, so the higher you go, the more likely it will dominate overall loss (metal loss is only propor
Here is some data taken from the ARRL handbook on losses for various transmission lines at 14 mhz per 100 feet. RG-58 hard dielectric 1.8 DB RG-58 foam dielectric 1.5 DB These two have the same I squ
I just have one final comment on this. Even though the feedline losses at HF are all mostly from I squared R loss, it just happens to turn out for other technical reasons that the more lossy the diel
What's wrong with another Balun at the vertical. There would then be two baluns - one at each end of the open wire line. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays, NC 28635 www.n4py.com On 1/27/201
I would use the Omni A-D original series. I had a series B and the only significant change was the addition of the crystal filter slots. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays, NC 28635 www.n4py
There is no ALC feedback connection from the amplifier to the Orion. The Orion does its own ALC based on holding whatever power output it is set for. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays, NC 2
Nice pics. Disconnecting from those bulkhead connections in the house is the best place for lightning protection. The only thing different I would have done is have the bulkhead connectors all connec
It's all done in firmware. My software provides this but it's only for the program S meter. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays, NC 28635 www.n4py.com Thanks& Happy New Year, Barry N1EU _____
It uses its own command set. There's no other radio other the the Eagle that uses it. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays, NC 28635 www.n4py.com Fred Mott AB8AH ______________________________

Can you determine the real manufacturer of the USB to serial adapter you have? If so, go to their website and download the latest driver software for it. I'm surprised when you plug it in that window
The antenna relay always follows the keying. But for most Orion's, the antenna relay noise is barely audible. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays, NC 28635 www.n4py.com K8AC Right, but he's a
Are you sure that is relay noise and not an actual receiver chirp from the AGC action? Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays, NC 28635 www.n4py.com N4UC The antenna relay always follows the key
