I'm running 1.201 which is the latest available and has been for months. Which version of the firmware and which flavor of windows seems to work ok together? It would be interesting to see if this is

Or I suppose a smaller and more nimble (and lower overhead) company like TT can just build a different model using the knowledge they've gained designing the Orion (and DSP radios before it) in a rad
I guess I wouldn't get overly wrapped up in the semantics of what the exact definition of "SDR" is, in fact I have not found a single definition of SDR anywhere that everyone agrees with. The key thi
I too would be reluctant to skip the isolation provided by an interface. And for the interface that you do use make sure that it has an isolated PTT as well. The interface should not allow any DC or
In reality a "no antenna" test by itself is really rather pointless. What does it really tell you? Nothing other than the overall noise that the radio generates internally, but that by itself is pret
Moore law only really applies to computing power, or more specifically microprocessor component density. Our radios (even the software driven ones) are still far more "radio" than "computer" so Moore

I feel this is key to keeping ham radio alive and relevant in the future. We as hams cannot afford to not embrace PC technology and tight computer integration with our radios. Like Mark's students I
But yet you hear of many who have Jupiters that they run most of the time in Pegasus emulation mode. They simply have a radio that allows them to do either, nothing wrong with that. I may not be an o
And this also plays a critical role in lightning protection as well. That same ground loop that causes you all those pesky problems in a RF field of few hundred to 1500 watts can be disastrous during
For those who want to play with latest 32 bit version of the Ten Tec Pegasus control program it is now posted on RFSpuared. I've only fiddled with it for a little while but it looks like the random f
Yes there is, the Pegasus/Jupiter/RX320/RX350/516/Orion sub RX all suffer the same malady as all other radio designs do that use up conversion and wide roofing filters do. That is they are prone to l
It's not so much up conversion in and of itself but the side efects of the reason(s) RX designers choose to up convert in the first place. One of the main the reasons to up convert is to provide cont
Using Spectran is part of the correct approach for determining the effects of the infamous IF gain tweak. However using the 12kHz IF signal as the test point does not tell the whole story. The signal
While on HF it is not a very hard or terribly expensive to do full QSK at high power on VHF/UHF/SHF it is simply not an option in most cases. The last thing you can afford to do is replace VERY expen

The IF gain pot is easy to spot and is labeled "IF gain". But I forget which side of the radio it is on, it is easy to spot once the cover is removed though. To really be able to set it correctly/acc
Hopefully it means that there is a Pegasus II in the works, you know the one with the 24-bit A to D plus 32-bit DSP of the Orion and Ethernet interfacing. Additionally with 2 or so optional narrow ro
