I don't see why this is such a big deal. You want to know if someone ever smoked around a radio? Ask the owner before you buy it. If you don't care? Don't bother to ask. If the seller isn't the firs
Nothing worse than an elevator after a "grand dame" or male equivalent has gotten off. Most perfume/cologne causes my throat to shut. I've had more than one unpleasant elevator experience. For old r
I guess the question is whether they had their radios set by the dial or tuned "by ear". A lot of people have a problem tuning an SSB signal correctly by ear, especially if they do not know the in-p
No one that I'm aware of has tried that sort of surgery. The only practical thing to do is to put the 600 Hz filter in the 1 KHz filter slot. I don't think you'll miss the 1 KHz filter. Grant/NQ5T
Nice ad in this months QST. Also a review of the 9000 Contest, done in such a giddy tone you'd think it had the ability to open a wormhole in the continuum, or that it could effectively replace a Lam
Nah, not unhappy at all. Amazing what a largely tongue in cheek post will generate in fodder :-) And I should have been more specific about washing the soap off my scalp, rather than taking literary
We were all morons once. Most of still are, despite our opinions to the contrary :-) Hold the skirt in position, and rotate the knob. If that doesn't work, you can slide the rubber cover off the kno
Randy ... I was rereading your post after sending my first reply via the list, and realized you tried the "hold the skirt and turn the knob" trick. Ten-tec seems to ships these things with the knobs
Has anyone actually had their Orion/II damaged in transit? Tight knobs aren't much of a problem, even if shipping has something to do with it. I think you would see obvious marks on the shaft from t
I observed something pretty significant tonight while doing some comparisons between the Main and Sub receivers. I hadn't used the Sub on anything but AM since the II arrived. It's 2.030, resets done
The low end on the sub-receiver isn't behaving like it's simply fixed in a different position. It appears to shift even higher as the bandwidth is narrowed. At 3 Khz BW it takes around 50 Hz PBT shi
I suppose it depends on the characteristics of the noise. I have a very strong pulse noise in my neighborhood (don't know from what, it's a strong "pop" about once per second) and both the HW and SW
Not sure what you're referring to there. That isn't the way T-T describes it, either in past postings that have been made to the reflector, or in the manual. Look at the manual description on page 4
I agree with you there. Something is different. But it isn't clear what. The "time constants" for adaption seemed to be different in the 2.x code. Maybe other stuff. Lower values seem a little slowe
Actually it's very well organized in a straightforward ASCII style loader format, each line ending with a CR/LF, etc. It's easier to see by just loading a .ruf file into Notepad, and setting it for
We seem to be talking around each other, but there's no reason to believe NR level is controlling some simple threshold. All I can suggest you do is take it up with Gary at T-T for a definitive answ
I agree on that one. And we shouldn't have to guess if the WILL work, either. I have a sneaking suspicion that some of Doug's good work may have been re-written. It sure seems that way in some areas
Originally it was $2300 for non-AT and $2500 for AT. No added value for filter options. Easy enough to email or call sales and find out if the numbers have changed. Grant/NQ5T
