Guys, While we're on the subject of performance comparisons, I see that the latest test data on Rob Sherwood's web site compares the O II from 2006 against the K3 and Flex 5000 from 2008. All three r
When a manufacturer offers a hardware mod, it is usually expected that those who want the mod will pay for it, whether by ordering the parts kit or by returning the radio for factory installation. So
Hi Ron, To these I would add: 1. Variable or selectable bandwidth on sweep/waterfall (i.e., not always 72 kHz) 2. Variable sensitivity on waterfall display (it's presently controlled by the RF gain s
It's a problem with Orion II v2.041XT. In a message dated 11/23/2009 4:52:44 P.M. GMT Standard Time, n2fq@sbcglobal.net writes: Hello. I'm using (2.063Xg) and can't duplicate it Orion 1. Çorrect me i
Hi, I never use AN either, for the same reason. I just tried it, and got the same result as you. The manual notch worked fine, though. 73 Ray W2RS In a message dated 12/6/2009 3:48:00 P.M. GMT Standa
Hi all, As a longtime customer of both companies, I wish Scott the best. His shoes will be tough for T-T to fill. Jack's next move will say a lot about where T-T is headed in amateur radio. 73 Ray W2
I've not yet tried WSPR, but I noted that you're also having trouble with PSK. Unlike RTTY, PSK requires the O II to be in USB mode, not FSK. (MMTT Y will work in RTTY either way.) Maybe WSPR does to
Must be a typo. My 1208 converts 14 MHz (not 144) to 50 MHz. Works great. I drive it with 5 watts from my Argo V and it puts out 8-9 watts on 6. 73 Ray W2RS In a message dated 3/15/2010 1:08:52 P.M.
Jack, I'm not disagreeing, because I don't know of a better one, but for me MixW 2.19 still falls far short of the human ear. I really like it for RTTY, though. For sending CW I prefer Winkeyer 2 thr
The VOX trip level doesn't seem to affect my sweep display, but my other settings may not be the same as Chris's. Anyway, I totally got rid of the red sweep by switching to the waterfall display :-)
Fotis, Many thanks for the heads-up! I've now installed it, and will try it out over the next few days 73 Ray W2RS In a message dated 4/13/2010 8:34:23 P.M. GMT Standard Time, sv8ing@yahoo.gr writes:

Ron and others, Many thanks for your fine work. After playing with 2.042A overnight, I've re-installed 2.041XT and will await T-T's next try. 73 Ray W2RS In a message dated 4/14/2010 2:45:00 A.M. GMT
John, Many thanks for reading the user responses on this reflector and taking them into consideration. That's a real step in the right direction! 73 Ray W2RS In a message dated 4/14/2010 11:40:16 P.M
I am the furthest thing from an IT professional; those of you who know me personally will know how true that is. Still, in a prior life, when I worked in the banking industry, I was put into the role
The latest non-beta version is 2.039d. I am using 2.041XT, which pretty much works for me, but not everyone likes it. Try both and see. 73 Ray W2RS ____________________________________ From: pinkerto
Hi Geoff, Thanks for your thoughtful reply. FYI, the bank I referred to, which has long since disappeared through merger, had about 20,000 employees. About half of those were overseas, in one of the
Open source is simply a different business model than the one employed by T-T and Elecraft. Both models have their pros and cons. If open source is owhat you really want, buy a Flex. 73 Ray W2RS In a
Hi, As a relief from all this serious stuff on the T-T reflector, if you're as old as I am you may remember that when Collins brought out the KWM-2 in 1959, it was priced at $1150 excluding mic and p
Hi Jerry, You're right, that computer stuff wound up wrecking the company financially. Not the first company to suffer that fate, nor the last. Meanwhile, the KWM-2 that I bought in 1962 still works.
