I don't recall the details in the original message, but at least with my O2, I have noticed that if I mistakenly transmit into the wrong antenna, or no antenna or a short or.. Basically anything with
Isn't this part of why TT provided AGC slope in the RX menu? I find that, depending on conditions, either 1:10 or 2:10 allows me to separate signals rather well in a pile-up. A strict adherence to AF
I think the problem with that approach is that you can't truly turn off the AGC in the Orion II. At some level, it is required for parts of the DSP. I'm not sure what happens when you select "off" fo
I use RedHat 64 bit and Win7 64 at work. I use application that run only under Win 7 and run/write programs under linux. I've found that Windows does its best to be user friendly, at the expense of v
There were bungees prior to WWII. Well, prior, in fact. They were used extensively as shock absorbers on aircraft landing gear. Most aircraft on both side had them. Exposed to weather, they are fragi

If you broke out your old XP box, it was certainly a a different port! Had you already tried a different USB-RS232 interface? That would have been something similar, I suppose. Kim N5OP "People that
Interesting. My computer is relatively fast, and I use a hardware serial port for my OII and have had no problems flashing it or with anything else. I have none of my old machines because they all su
But it's far more fun to make up astounding conspiracy theories that TT is circling the drain and that all of our radios have been rendered worthless by intention. It's fun because it gives us more t
Array Solutions makes a rx front end protector for just this reason. I separated my K9AY loops the recommended amount from my F12 Sigma 80, but it isn't enough. So I added this to my O2 rx antenna in
Hi Rick, Thanks for the tip, but where would it go? Won't that essentially defeat the idea of a rx antenna? Or, do you mean a common current choke to stop unbalanced RF on the outside of the coax? 73
They have a web presence, but have yet to deliver any units. Assuming their web page is current, price is $4700 (US) plus another $400 (US) for the integral ATU. Says to expect delivery in 1-2 months
Yes, yes, you're all correct: TenTec is toast. They will simply all walk out of the factory and wander aimlessly around Sevierville. I mean, come on! If TT can't come up with a sure-fire replacement
I listened, too and didn't hear any CW at all. My guess is that it takes a lot of repletion to find it. Kim N5OP "People that make music together cannot be enemies, at least as long as the music last
I'm almost exclusively CW, though I readily admit that I'm not on the air as much as I wish to be. But I also admit that didn't listen the first time with much care. I'll have to do so when I'm less
Any news of TenTec's demise is premature (with apologies to Mark Twain). Did you not see John Henry's response to this claptrap? You may, of course, dismiss John Henry's response with "Of course he'd

Upon reflection, Wade makes an excellent point: my use of the word "claptrap" is regrettable and I sincerely apologize to any and all affected. I should have used the much better word "humbug." Kim N
