Only upgrade if: 1. You want the BW control on the subreceiver to work properly. 2. You want the MONitor to work in AM/FM modes. 3. You want the tweaks made to TGC, TX EQ and SP made in 2.033 Grant/
And probably no one can do it safely, unless you pull off to the side of the road. As much fun as mobile CW might be, I'm not sure I want to be driving in the immediate vicinity of anyone actually e
If it distracts you from driving, it isn't safe. I can't imagine how it would not do that. We also mostly tend to think we're invulnerable anyway, and that it's the other guy that has a problem, but
Huh? What does that mean? Are yo implying that all of the iflters in the Orion aren't roofing filters (there is no Orion I)? Funny how well those "old design techniques" work ... Grant/NQ5T
You might want to just take a look through the archives of this list at contesting.com. There is enough reading material there on the subjects to keep you VERY busy for a while :-) Grant/NQ5T
I did the test earlier with the tuner adjusted for 80M, and found the same result on all bands. Some tests: (MAIN receiver only on ANT 1) (1)500 Hz BW, LCW, AGC off, RF gain low 50's. I set the tune
There was also something about a typing speed test being added for a special "digital" license, but that that test would be waved if you could simply whistle in PACTOR or Hellschriber at any speed .
I think I just verified that. Tuned up MAIN, TX (VFO-A) on 1.8Mhz. Took an output reading at 28.0 Mhz on the SUB (VFO-B). Changed bands on the transmitter (VFO-A) to 28 Mhz, and the signal output on
Everyone is a lot of people :-) It's independent of Sweep, independent of SP. If NB is ON and NR is ON, it's only necessary to press the NOTCH button to cause it to fail. Grant/NQ5T
Midflight would be a bummer. Sitting on the tarmac, though, a pilot "rebooted" an aircraft to try and clear a malfunctioning engine indicator of some kind. Would make me a bit nervous to think an ai
And that's why "toll quality" audio, and radios that produce toll-qualtiy audio sound like cr*p. A rule of thumb is that the LF cutoff times the HF cutoff in Hz, should be about 400,000-450,000 to p
I don't think it's all that subjective or nebulous. My guess is that the reports of the v2/II audio not being "robust" may have a lot to do with the low end roll off. Can't comment on the "dynamic d
Seems to me perhaps QRZ.com or eham might be a more appropriate place for bandwidth wars. We're talking here about performance, not whether anyone happens to think we all ought to talk through a str
Tell that to the guys who spent 10 G's on the Yaecoms, too. Let the radio which is without fault cast the first -- ah --whatever radios cast .. :-) Grant/NQ5T
