One does have to take reviews on eHam with a grain of salt. One 2003 reviewer of the Jup (which definitely seems to be a love it or hate it radio after reading many of the reviews), indicated: "On tr
And don't forget: - SP performance - QSK (turnaround time) - AM receive bandwidth - SSB transmit audio bandwidth (or much better, just restore the whole transmit bandwidth scheme including SSB and A
Well, maybe it's necessary to think outside the box a bit. While it may not be possible to phase lock the receivers, perhaps it's possible to get a bit closer through a fixed (or variable) calibrati
One must wonder why T-T didn't do something like this in the original firmware -- and why they haven't done something about it in the interim ... Grant/NQ5T
That really isn't the way it would be -- more computer woes, that is, if by comparison one puts the "woes" of the Orions next to, say, the day-to-problems of running Windoze. If only my laptop would
Nothing, since it was used only as an example. In any case, I see no relationship between working with computers for a living and fretting about battling "computer" issues with a radio. Not quite th
The Orion III (or whatever it's to be called) will probably be at least that much, assuming the wish list I've been reading here gets implemented. (I haven't seen anything about hyperspace comm chan
If you can't manage to get it right by rotating the skirt, you can simply adjust the position of the knob on the shaft to get the drag where you want it. Just slide off the rubberized covering over
Why is it these discussions always manage to come down to some smart remark about young (and bright, smart, and eager, and not afraid) versus old (stodgy, stupid, fearful, and still waiting for Elvi
Actually, for the last few days (based on a quick survey of message subject lines) it's been quite more off on a tangent regarding Flex, the SDR-X, and how T-T will surely be out of business soon ;-
I keep a small natural fiber (wool, I think) duster in the shack and just give everything a quick one over maybe once a week. Dust collects on the top surfaces of knobs and and anything else horizon
You have to remember that these reflectors tend to be very closed communities, and there are some very opinionated folks (which isn't to say there is anything amiss with their opinions). The most op
Actually, the "competition", for many of us who have raised concerns with the II/v2, is not some other radio, but the v1 Orion. There's all the stuff that Ron Castro captured on his list. Plus the f
According to the JARL webpage it's 1KW (peak power delivered to the antenna) and then drops at 50 Mhz and up. Which is probably why the PW-1 and Quadra are nominally rated at 1KW (although they will
Even the guys around here (me included), who whine and complain about this and that and have our favorite things to pick on, don't have our radios up for sale :-) Grant/NQ5T
