Grant, that's a big challenge and I doube if even Gary can handle it! We certainly need an "undo" button (which I call an "oops" button). 73 Rick --Original Message-- From: tentec-bounces@contesting.
Hey, have I been asleep or what? After 42 years of contesting, this recent IARU contest taught me a new lesson. Apparently when one calls CQ, receives a call, and completes a QSO, if the calling stat
All of you Engineers and micro-bit chasers, you can delete this without reading it. It is subjective - not measured. I finally had an opportunity to use an Orion in a big contest - although just for
Has anyone worked with "CT" and also used it to control the band changing on the Orion? I can't get it to work. My computer is communicating with the Orion OK. I've updated firmware and I run N4PY (d
All nice thoughts Martin, but I guess if we let our imaginations run, each of us would come up with our own unique panel layout. It begs the question, do we "really" need a legacy front panel? Yuri s
Duane, you are neglecting one minor but very important detail: time. Things change and change is happening faster and faster. Just one year ago I would have sworn on a stack of Ten-Tecs that I would
What is the maximum speed of the Orion's Com Port? Tnx 73 Rick _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/t
Yes Dan, most of us are getting it - with each email we send. 73 Rick Hay guys, I noticed that when I send out mail to the TT list it goes through but I get the same mail returned to me. I am told th
Interesting about the 850. I borrowed a TS-850 to use for the ARRL 160m Contest and it sounded like a cement mixer. I returned it the next day and used my K2 in the contest. (Note: that was during th
It's worse than you describe, Dan. The fact is that most of the time the problems we incurr are intermittant. You send your YaeKenCom in for repair and 5 or 6 weeks later, (if you are lucky), it is r
Richy, Clark's a straight shooter and your comment is OUT OF LINE! I feel you owe Clark an apology. TS-850: Currently, the absolute world record (all time high score - highest ever) for both cw and s
Well done Richy! 73 Rick P.S. I received both messages. I will try this again, I sent an apology out last night. It wasnt posted to the reflector. see below: Ok, after many flames (the post was inten
You definitely need the amp for the 250 Hz filter. Otherwise it's not a bad idea. 73 Rick Given the results of the INRAD 600hz filter replacing the 1khz filter in the Orion, has anyone looked at modi
Lee, Great job of thinking it through, but too much work for too little gain. The ORION is great as is - better than anything else. If you want to improve it, do as Bill (W4ZV) suggests (not as he do
That was below the belt ;-) He used an 850?? :-) Richy N2ZD _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tent
Lee, the configuration I described as my preferable configuration is exactly what Bill, W4ZV told us to do. (That's why I said do as Bill says, not as he does. Bill doesn't work much SSB). I still op
Sure, but the few words describing it are in German. You should be able to read the schematic. If you have any questions, let me know. I don't think attachments work here, so I'll forward it directly
Don't know about you "Yanks", but I'm a BIG Lance Armstrong Fan. His win today has set him up to go into the lead the day after tomorrow. (Tomorrow is a day off). Lance isn't a ham but if he was he w
Mario, I would add to the list of DSP's benefits "finally enough filters". In the past, no rig had enough slots to put all the crystal filters I wanted. Now with DSP, the rigs have enough filters. 73
Dave, it's horses for courses (different strokes for different folks). I dislike the TS-850 mostly because of ergonomics. I have poor eyesight and find the knobs very tiny and difficult to use. I don
