If you are referring to all the LED's around the keypad and not the digital frequency display then it is a symptom that the master reference OCXO (TCXO if modified) oscillator - isn't (oscillating).
The Corsair and Corsair II also have the 10 kHz shift varactor built into thier VFO's. Also most TT radios of the PTO vintage use a varactor for the RIT function as well, that too might be modifyable
I believe that the 525 uses the same or similar system as the 263/283 remote VFO's used. Those are based on a simple prescaler circuit that drives a decade counter that lights the LEDs. Unfortunately
I'm 98% sure in the 455 kHz IF. The IF scheme from what I can tell is very close to the Pegasus/Jupiter with 45 MHz 1st IF and ~455 kHz second IF. Putting the improved filtering in those two spots wi
More wild speculation below: My guesses are: 1) Because they feel it will equal or exceed the Omni VI in performance. 2) It will be a "step up" from the Jupiter, the Jupiter will remain in the produc
FWIW I fairly regularly get into the top 10 for the Single Op Low Power category for the various ARRL VHF contests. And for multipliers I typically finish within the top 5 for the 144-432 MHz bands.
I agree it makes less sense when a majority of the Q's are made while sitting on a run frequency. But having instant QSY to a new quiet spot anywhere in the band I have to believe would be useful for
well I'm in my mid 40's and I grew up in an analog only world and do find such a statement laughable too. I simply have chosen to extend my "formative" years until the day I die. As such I will alway
Since the Omni VII will have an Ethernet port that provides control, mic, and audio signals Ten Tec should create a small controller panel with both Ethernet and USB ports on it. 1) Just plug the Omn
Duane - Note to self: Do not plan on humor as a new career should I ever need to find new one. Two attempts at humor in the last couple days were not universally taken as such. If some on HF took my
Actually some VLF'ers who are chasing stuff below 25 kHz or so do use sound cards directly connected to antennas. And apparently it can be made to work well. I have never tried it myself but have bee
Comments in line below: I've pondered this issue in the past and have come to the conclusion that there is no legal problems with it (though a lawyer may argue otherwise). I think the case can be mad
Keep in mind though to use the Corsair RX port to feed a second RX you then need a means to mute that second RX during the Corsair's TX. The isolation isn't all that huge between the two antenna port
Not sure where the notion that a 2 dB NF is sufficient for 2M SSB/CW work comes from. I suspect though that it is a figure that has persisted for years in ARRL Handbooks. I would argue that a NF in t
Actually I'd be wondering which ones of the existing big 4 will still be here 5 to 10 years from now. I really do get the sense that there is another major "changing of the guard" for radio manufactu
Actually I can believe Barry's claim for the 2.7 kHz. I have a few Corsairs (2 are II's) and everytime I tap into the IF chain after the 9 MHZ filter using either SDR-1000 or the Time Machine board I
RE LO noise measurements - Note that the Sherwood measurements are not very consistent for the spacing used to measure the LO phase noise: Orion (II) 10kHz Corsair 4kHz Omni VI+ 20kHz It's really too
I will stick by my wish to see it standardized at something under 5kHz, much for the same reason as wide spaced IMD performance in the IMD dimension. I highly doubt that is the case. I suspect that t
Perhaps a better way to think about it IF scheme wise is that the Corsair is like the Omni A/D/C series but has the 6.3MHz IF (started with the 580 Delta) for PBT and narrow BW IF filtering. Once out
