Did you try just turning up the gain? On the II it does not appear to be an issue. I've poked at both strong and weak signals. Wonder what the difference is? Grant/NQ5T
If you load V2 and the sweep works, you HAVE the hardware mod. If the sweep does not work, you do NOT have the mod. There's a complete description of "how to", and options for T-T doing the mod if y
Can someone that still has an Orion with 1.372 or earlier software tell me if the SSB high frequency cutoff varies the AM transmit frequency response as heard through MON? There's a note in the Orion
That also appears to be the case on the Orion II. Used to be on the Orion, for example, that if you turned the notch (AN or manual) on an AM carrier, the carrier would vanish and have no effect on A
Yes, maybe a little. My AM "reference" receiver is an R-390 with nice gentle L/C IF filtering, and a Sherwood SE-3 Mk III sync detector. The Orion/II isn't anywhere near THAT good, in overall qualit
For the record, I'm not knocking your opinion. But it is at least advertised as a "beta", and that should be a clue as to it's "fit and finish". Beta software from big guns who do NOTHING but softwa
Are you talking about the noise limiter or noise reduction (NR) or notch? I'm confused. Yes NR seems to work differently, but I've found it to be quite effective, at least on the II. The notch is de
I posted this last night, but didn't get any takers. Maybe everyone is already on 2.054B? I'm going to waste the bandwidth to try again. Would someone with an Orion still on 1.3xx firmware try the fo
Thank you (all of you who responded) very much. I'm not sure if this is no news or bad news. My presumption on the original is that the response could be opened up to about 3.9 KHz on each sideband,
Ron ... Thanks for that! I did a crude version of the same (I don't have a spectrum analyser kind of budget). I found low end response to be very good all the way down to 20 Hz. I took a single data
Why not? If someone wants to run a wide-fi signal on an otherwise unoccupied frequency segment, why not? Clearly, at some point rules about interference and good practice, etc. come into play. But w
Not sure what way you are expecting to be found. In DSP? Add-on internal to the radio? Aren't too many guys rewriting Orion DSP code in their kitchens :-) As a lot of people have said, there are a l
There may be timing/priority issues, but I find it hard to believe that the CPU is overloaded. Maybe we just need to add some ten-tec RF boards to a Cray XT3 to solve the problem. It could probably
You're absolutely right. It's the old story of "be careful what you ask for", because you might get it :-) The complaints about the delay in the V2 release for the Orion were getting pretty loud. Te
