It is most likely due to the sensitivity of your headphones. The noise you are hearing is not the noise floor of the RX, it is the noise floor of the audio chain AFTER the volume control only. When y
That's correct Gary. The Bezel is attached to the outer shaft of the VFO which is the shaft with the lead screw that moves the core into and out of the coil. Here's how I sync the bezel and the opera
I wondered about that too Jerry, and came to the conclusion Gary was seeing the three little plastic protrusions that are melted down to hold the aluminum dial to the plastic collar that attaches to

Although I agree in part, there are some things about a radio, or any other piece of equipment for that matter, that we just cannot put into meaningful, measurable specs. The fianl test for a radio i
First of all Tim, in my mind the CorsairII is a "keeper". And I am one of those who actually like the operation of the hang AGC. I much prefer the hang action to AGC that is constantly changing the g
No, I don't think that was it. We were not building guitar amps where some "fuzz" and other stuff is the norm. We were building High Fidelity amplifiers where the company officials wanted the most fa
I have received several requests for info on the Ron Lee AGC mod. I purchased the Omni with the mod already in place many years ago. I don't know if there is any info on the Internet. All I have is s
Good point Paul. I'm pretty sure the Pegasus and Jupiter use the phasing method of sideband generation and detection, in software of course, and at least in theory, can go down to DC response. Anothe
Thanks Barry, Looks like this matter was address before. One of these days I'm going to find the archives!!!! :-) Yes, this is a major modification and not for the faint of heart, but it does work! A
I sure hope it does not have an internal tuner as standard. If they want to make one available as an option, OK, but I would not use the internal tuner and I sure don't want to pay for something I wo
If you are referring to the internal "roofing" filters, you are quite right about not being required to buy them and that is a wonderful thing. If I am strictly a SSB operator, why would I want to bu
I agree with you Carl about this being the best protection I have seen. As far as I know, it started with the Paragon and I believe it is included in the Pegasus/Jupiter. Looking at my Jupiter schema
One of the areas in which the K2 does well according to test reports is phase noise. I find it interesting that the oscillator system used in the K2 is in certain ways similar to that found in the la
If I correctly understand the write-up released by Ten Tec, there will be no ham radio transceiver available that has better filtering than the Orion. In fact nothing will even come close. With cryst
The Jupiter does have an external speaker jack even though it uses the balanced output power amplifier like the Pegasus. The sleeve of the external speaker jack is one side of the balanced circuit an
OK, we have established that the Pegasus [and Jupiter] sound pretty good on receive when a decent sound system is used so I decided to take a close look or, listen as the case may be, to the transmit
There are [or have been] several interesting threads running which seem to be slowly converging into a good discussion of keying characteristics of Pegasus/Jupiter [PJ's for short], Omni VI+, Icom 75
