I just got word from the XYL that my repaired Orion II was just delivered to the house. Ironically, my ACOM 2000A amplifier which had been sent back to MA for a low voltage reading problem, arrived o

I saw your later post about the voltage of the caps. They should definitely outlast the originals. Next time I have mine apart, I'll look to see what TT put back in their place now that they know thi

I just ordered a new laptop today and faced the daunting question of "XP or VISTA", so I checked with my broadcast colleagues on the Radio-Tech reflector and not a single person recommended VISTA. On

Quite true about downgrading only applying to the higher-end versions of Vista, and about needing a legal copy of XP Pro. In my case, I'll be using my copy of XP Pro on both my old laptop, which will

Author: "Ron Castro" <ronc@sonic.net>
Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2007 17:30:02 -0700
The big problem is IR loss in the wire from the power supply to the radio, not necessarily the "ampacity" of the wire. The longer and thinner the wire, the more the voltage drop as the current increa

In my case, it was what I had lying around after a mobile installation. If you want to keep the voltage loss at 20 amps to >4%, a run of #14 is good for only 4 feet. For #12, you can run 7 feet, and

Absolutely! The firmware currently on the radio dates back to the one of the earliest production dates and has never been updated, and as a result, the radio crashes often during contest conditions.

I don't have Vista, but I did some quick research and found that there is a "compatibility mode" you can reach by right-clicking on the .exe file of the DOS program and selecting the operating system

That's good to note that 2.062a works so well under contest conditions. I'll pass that on to the rig's owner, N6CT. BTW, we ran 3A at W6KB with a 4-element Steppir at 55', a 2-element Steppir at 55',
