Nothing worse than clanking relays running VOX on SSB without QSK. And even though much data traffic takes place at low power, I can't imagine how one would run most modern data protocols without QS
There should be no long delays like you've described. I'd do a master reset on the radio, check your RS-232 connection, and try it again. If that still doesn't help, try unchecking the "stop on erro
I find it hard to believe you didn't realize there was a problem LONG before that happened :-) The update should take around 3 minutes or a bit less. I don't recall what the v1 manual has in it, but
T-T charges $60/hour for labor, if my memory serves me correctly. So for work out of warranty it costs the bench time it takes to do the work, plus parts, plus return shipping. You also have to pay
I guess you would have to consider yourself lucky that you didn't have one of the $12000 radios that had a bad patch of blowing finals, or one of the prvious generation of $5000 radios that burned u
I had a hit in the mid 90's. Fortunately, an IC-781 was disconnected completely at the time. But I lost several thousand $$ worth of other pieces of equipment. To satisfy the insurance company, I ha
Positive review, I'd have to say. Now, since T-T can make NR work in AM mode in the Omni, why is it disabled in the "top of the line radio?????? (Just complaining about one of those nagging and irrit
In the main, that's ridiculous. I did spend some time with the K3 yesterday. Kept going back to look and touch and feel some more. Hard to tell in a hamfest environment how the receiver works, but i
I posted and sold this radio a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, it suffered an unexpected out-of-the-box problem when it got where it was going. I refunded the gents money, took the radio back and shipp
That really is a shame. Maybe you could do like the fad in the 50's with baby shoes and have it "bronzed" :-) I still have an IC-271A (2M all-mode if you're not familiar with 80's Icom radios) up in
You might check the Omni-VII group over on Yahoo. I think the apparent lack of discussion is more that the radio turned out to be what about everyone expected, i.e., a good radio and no real surpris
You have to believe the Orion3 (or whatever) is on the drawing board, if not already in the prototype stage. There is probably a whole new round of "radio wars" getting ready to start up again. K3,
As for being the Orion killer, I think waiting for some test reports and real world experience might be a reasonable thing to do. Which does not imply that I think the K3 won't be a mighty good radi
I spent some time yesterday evening running 2.060b and 2.038k side-by-side. There is definitely something wrong with the gain picture in 2.060b, or if "wrong" isn't the correct term, then certainly
