I am getting errors in frequency reported back from the OMNI via the serial link. These are repeatable in that they always occur at the same frequencies, but are different when tuning upward from the
Have you spent the big bucks for a rig that you thought would be perfect? And like so many have you found although it is a great rig, it is not perfect? If so you may have the Big Rig Blues. Do not w
Try Key-n-Log. It is free. LoTW, etc. If you are a CW op, you will especially like it because it has a built-in keyboard. If you have an old OMNI VI, you can connect the interface port and the logger
I would be interested in talking to anyone who has operated an OMNI VI+ remotely via the internet. I would also like to know of anyone interested in remote operation with the OMNI VI. Joe, N4YG
Several weeks ago there was a discussion of which USB-to-Serial converter to purchase. I have only had my OMNI VI+ for about 9 months and, at the time I knew nothing of what was available through the
I would guess that the problem may be with your Serial Port hookup to the 1/8" phone jack. I have never used the serial port (TTL level) connection but rather the DB-25. I use the cheapest Chinese US
I have not found a USB-Serial adapter which supports every thing that an application programmer could throw at it. I suggest buy an adapter which someone else has used successfully with the same appl
I received a report of chirp on the signal from my OMNI VI+ during a recent CW qso. The person who gave the report indicated that it was not "bad" chirp and added that he hears chirp on almost every
Well it seems that Don is very happy with the Logic EPROM version 1.02 solution, but Paul says it only partially masks the problem at the expense of QSK. What is the effect on QSK? I guess I will jus
To answer Carl's question, there is a problem with keying, but I would not call it chirp. I do not hear a change in frequency across the cw dot or dash. I do not like the sound of what I hear. It doe
Well the matter of alleged chirp in my OMNI VI+ has finally reached a happy ending. You may be interested in my assessment of the whole matter. I hope I will not offend anyone, however I am not sure
You will find that there are several methods of specifying CW speed. I use the definition that you will find in ARRL handbooks, the current one and those dating back several 10's of years. It is quit
Thanks to Carl, N4PY for correcting my errors. The correct equation is WPM = 2.4 X Dots per second or WPM = 4.8 X Dashes per second Stated another way, WPM = Number of Dots in 2.4 seconds or Number o
First, I would like to say that I am delighted to have set off such a nice discussion. Second, getting back to the SB-220, even with only a fraction of a dB gain in output power, I am still exception
I just want to thank everyone who advised me to buy the RF Parts 3-500ZG tubes for my SB-220. I am very pleased with the tubes. I have about 20% more output power and it is almost unbelievable how mu
I appreciate the comments of both Gerald and Rob. As a practical matter, a fraction of a dB is insignificant, however none of us would accept this degradation in the output of our transmitters, yet w
