Pete, when I turn on my IC-756 PRO from a cold start, it will be less than 5 Hz different from WWV. After two minutes it will be within 3 Hz of WWV. After 5-10 minutes it will be less than two Hz dif
Better than what? If I may mention the name, my Icom 756PRO is never more than 5 Hz off WWV on a cold start and within 5 minutes is within 2 Hz or less and get even closer as it warms up. It can be r
Not my job, Mike! <:} I have no axe to grind one way or the other about dial calibration accuracy. I happen to enjoy operating quality equipment that is accurately calibrated and retains that calibra
I wonder if someone would be so kind as to scan or copy pages 13 through 17 of the January 1995 issue of CQ magazine and either mail or email them to me? If snailmail, I will give you my address priv
I would like to thank the several folks on these lists who offered to copy and send the requested CQ article. I have been taken care of in fine style as hams continue to help hams. Thanks much, folks

While the quoted material above stresses that the finals can deliver 100 watts, 100% duty cycle into ANY SWR, I wonder what the IP3 and IP5 numbers are for 100 watts into nothing more extraordinary
This is part of the TX spec on N9VV's website: TX bandwidth: 100-3900 Hz in 10-Hz steps. TX frequency response: 100-4000 Hz max -6 dB points. TX equalizer: Up to 6 dB/octave bass/treble boost/cut. TX
Intermodulation distortion for both transmitters and receivers can be measured by using a two-tone signal, as seen in the usual ARRL Lab reports. I used informal shorthand in referring to the third a
I agree, Paul, and the issue is almost academic since most finals are operated at very nearly 1:1 SWR loads. What I am questioning is the broad claim that the Orion can deliver 100 watts to ANY SWR a
Tom, I replied once that I had a copy on the way, which is now in hand. Sorry if you failed to receive that email. Thanks again for the offer! I just noticed that your email quoted below is dated Aug
In the real world, there isn't any . . . depends upon the make and model of receiver and its design and the calibration and alignment of the particular receiver. We tend to use the 6 dB/S-unit as a c
Bob, I took a look at the transmitted audio spectrum of the Argo 5-watt version of the Scout yesterday using the SpectraPRO analysis program. The audio is rather on the low-frequency side with a pron
Points well made, Paul, despite the tongue in cheek! <:} Sadly, we have yet to see a true "software-defined" radio from ANY manufacturer. We have had *software-controlled* radios for years now, but e

Todd, it seems to me that you have brushed up against the negative side of a radio made for the ham bands only. When "the ham bands" change, and the radio can't, then you are in trouble. I think - I
