Martin, Excellent points, some thoughts and comments in-line below. Duane N9DG There will have to be a strategic decision made on the radio manufacturers part. They can decide to either focus on hard
I didn't want to confuse anybody with the subtitles of the PCI specification so I stuck with using the generic PCI terminology. You might be technically correct but in this case you are so WRONG ;) -
Although I think such a roofing would help some the Orion's sub RX, and the Pegasus/Jupiter too. I think that you'll find that these "ghost" signals are at +/-12 or 14 kHz away (depending on radio mo
Does anyone know what the maximum drive level is that is fed to connector 27 of the 81037 Low Level Driver board of the Corsair series radios? I have rough idea of what the power level is but would l
I'm not sure I totally agree with this assessment and here is my reasoning why: Part 97.113(e) says in part: "No station shall retransmit programs or signals emanating from any type of radio station
Let me see, there have been some other "gimmicks" over the years such as: SSB - ca. 1952 - Collins, Hallicrafters, Central Electronics et al. All solid state RX and low level TX ca. 1966 - SBE. Facto
Yes there is a jumper near the center of the 1.8kHz filter position that needs to removed or cut. Then it is just a matter of plugging it in. The filter is symmetrical so it can be installed either w
There are also these alternatives: 1. Spectran (freeware) which can be found at: http://www.weaksignals.com/ Is also great for weak signal detection and modes like QRSS. 2. SR5 (which is now freeware
Actually the N4PY software is an example of what can be done when you apply plenty of computing horsepower and don't constrain your radio user interface design to using an embedded processor. Firmwar
I disagree, I think that all new generation radios should have even more computer control, much of it in place of the tired and inhibiting traditional controls. The key to it all is to get beyond the
John, I suspect that the list reply behavior just bit you. Since your question was public I'll provide a public description of my VHF+ lineup. The station consists of a small herd of Pegasi transceiv
They are completely different radios. About the only things that they share in common is the Ten Tec brand name and the Delta model name. The 580 Delta was targeted as a mid price range radio at ~$90
I always have to chuckle that whenever the discussion about computer/radio integration comes up that there is an almost always and immediate mental leap by many to the notion that computers integrate
Interesting remarks about the the transition from copying letters to words in your head. I first noticed the "word copying" affect, or at least partial words, at around 18-20 WPM. The common letter s
Or I suppose you could use Ten Tec's new "TAPR Vector Network Analyzer" to make short work of characterizing that 221 filter... Duane N9DG __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mai
The 430 was also the first rig I encountered that taught me a whole lot about noisy synthesizers too. It traded *established* performance for glitzy trinkets (the TS-820/830 ran circles around it so
Comments (many - yet again! ;-)) in-line below: <snip> It would actually be more of a ?shifting? of the available control CPU's horsepower to different tasks. Truth of the matter is we should be able
Judging by the booth attendance observations and comments posted here for the Orlando hamfest I would say 95% is way too high, I'll bet it's closer to only 50%, with many of them wanting the option f
My assumption being that a significant part of the DSP's horsepower is being used to create the sweep display. If that is indeed true then there would be more cycles leftover that could then be used
If you want to see the effects of this AGC speed limitation download Ten Tec's control program and run it on a decently fast PC of 2GHz or so. Set the band to say 40M at night and then bring up the s
