As short as ignition pulses? Is any of them actually effective against QRN? OK, so the 10 kHz spacing is also IC7800 and FT9000 tailored :-) 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VA3TTN _________________________________
Looks like SDR has more marketing than contesting advantages :-) Also enables manufacturers to save a couple of bucks, while simultaneously claiming technological advance. 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VA3TTN __
And, above all, enables manufacturers to release unfinished products, promising to fix design errors sometimes in the future. 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VA3TTN _______________________________________________
Reality is that FT-1000x was released with a number of problems two orders of magnitude smaller than Orion's. I'd put aside the possibility of adding any new features to Orion at least until it begin
That's true, but that's a single problem, and I was referring to the number of problems known to exist. 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VA3TTN _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list Te
Well, I have one with most of the options. It did cost me ~$6600 to arrive here. Describing its operation with the supplied firmware as "unfinished" is actually a very mild way of putting it. 73, Sin
Having to reboot several times during WPX, for example. 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VA3TTN _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/
You dare say that it was unfinished until 1.371? Couldn't resist :-) 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VA3TTN _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.co
In good old days a product had to perform according to its published and advertised description. Looks like we cannot expect anything like that anymore. 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VA3TTN _____________________
It's a common problem with GeoCities, just go to the home page http://www.geocities.com/va3ttn and download from there. 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VA3TTN _______________________________________________ TenTe
Software has been "an intergal part of its operation ability" in many prior radios. But most users haven't been aware, presumably because it worked correctly. 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VA3TTN _______________
At at price of only ~10% of TX power being actually radiated. Which may or may not be objectionable. 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VA3TTN _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTe
It worked incorrectly from the beginning, i.e. BW was transferred, but PBT wasn't, making even the former useless. 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VA3TTN _______________________________________________ TenTec mail
Please, please, please, just be consistent! Whenever you save/restore BW, please do so with PBT too. 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VA3TTN _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTe
Orion's ADC chip has S/(N+D) specification of 84 dB minimum, 90 dB "typical". This specification applies to manufacturer's test circuit only, and one has to consider Orion's actual circuit. Looks li
You could have reduced RF gain "until the background noise decreased significantly". 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VA3TTN _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com
S meter stays just above noise level, so it remains usable for most signals. If the external noise activates AGC, then it is the external noise actually determining usable sensitivity, not RX gain or
If this applies to Orion - I'd do the same. Suggestion of reducing RF GAIN applies to TS850, MP and similar rigs. 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VA3TTN _______________________________________________ TenTec maili
No, I've never recommended such a thing, you misread it. In my text 12 dB refers to the difference between external noise level and RX internal noise level. The adjustment is performed by using contr
