Carl, out of curiosity, why doesn't TT just disable the Sweep function, remove it from the list of features and specs and avoid all the grief it seems to cause. Is it really good enough to be worth t
Sorry, folks, the REPLY ALL "feature" caught me again . . . obviously, my questions for Carl were intended to be private. 73, George W5YR w5yr@att.net you don't Initial the like
In addition to the question of how one would measure this operation, it is also true that the signal power is not uniformly distributed within whichever bandwidth is chosen. The lower frequencies req
One would expect that, as a software-defined radio, the functions of the ORION ACCY pins would be determined by the control program. In that way, given the proper menu provisions, the operator could
Grant, as usual, we largely agree on this. My notion is that the ORION should not be promoted as a software-defined radio with all that implies without providing some indication of its software-defin
Perhaps a more appropriate question is how many of the major contesters and big multi-multi stations use Ten Tec equipment? John, ON4UN, uses an ORION as we know, but what others? I don't know and am
Rob, I and many others like me have been reading the reflector and observing the ORION scene for well over a year now. We have yet to find the type and level of information that you and your friend s
The following has been cross-posted to this reflector by "RM" (kamar@inr.net) without my permission. These remarks were intended for the Icom reflector only. They represent my opinion which I was not
Yeah, Gary - my Momma used to say "never say anything you wouldn't want repeated in church!" Still, it is a pretty sneaky trick to play, Mr. "RM". Since my name is already mud on this reflector, I gu
John, in all fairness, the "working over" that appeared on the reflector was offset by a factor of about 10 to 1 in the number of private emails I got thanking me for my unintentional but frank posti
Exactly - just like the owners of all other brands. It is human nature to defend one's actions, especially when it involves spending a lot of money. Applies to cars, radios, houses, etc.
"rig". Not at all, Bill, although I don't know what rig you bought. I think that the major reason people end up with the "wrong" rig on their desk is simply that they lack correct and appropriate inf
Jack, what has the factory advised you to do? Surely they have a solution to this sort of problem . . . 73/72, George Amateur Radio W5YR - the Yellow Rose of Texas Fairview, TX 30 mi NE of Dallas in
Perhaps it will help if we all keep in mind that in setting the 30-day return policy, Ten Tec management anticipated a certain percentage of returns and adjusted the sale price to accommodate that ex
Interesting . . . I use my 88 ft 20-meter EDZ on 75 SSB and most stations say it is equal to or exceeds the signal from my resonant 80-meter full-wave horizontal loop. The first time I used it on 75
We're reading more and more of this sort of thing these days, Stuart. Like you, I just can't sit and let such misinformation stand. Two many newbies look to postings on these reflectors for their inf
Thank you, Billy, but I already have several ARRL Antenna Books plus a fairly extensive library in this area, including all the texts from undergrad and grad school. And I have read them. And underst
Billy, anyone not looking for a trolling contest would implicitly understand that the stated comparison between the two antenna lengths obviously applies only to both antennas being located in the sa
<skip> Not a thing, Bill, other than the fact that some folks confuse the physical size and length of a wire antenna with its capture area, which relates to gain and not to size.. Using that erroneou
