TenTec has advised me that my O II did not survive the burn-in on the test rack: it suffered multiple failures. Paul told me that they could fix the known failures, but it would be very expensive and
Now *that's* interesting. What caused the HV xfrmer to fail? Unless something happened to kill it, I'm surprised they covered it! This plan may cover more than I thought. As for "everything", that's
Now this is new to me. I've run VMWare at work for some time under XP Pro, so that I have an easy way to move data between linux and Windows apps. I take it that VirtualPC will only run MS OS's. but
I'd like to know, too, as I've wondered the same thing! It's very strong here in OK and I've always assumed it's a US government/US military station. It uses an 850 Hz shift and I have never been abl
I'm looking for some comms advice and I know some of you have a fair bit of experience in this area. I'll be part of a meteorological field project next year (I'm a research meteorologist, not a comm
As long as COM port assignments remain unique, there shouldn't be any problem running multiple radios from a single computer. You will have problems if more than one application tries to run the same
I wonder why? I added the LDG OT-11P tuner to an Orion II and it was straightforward. I still have that tuner, BTW, in an O II that got damaged by lightning. I'm not sure how to check the tuner to se
OK, I'm now thoroughly confused. I have finally recovered (I think) from a lightning strike I experienced earlier this summer. It took out my O II, computer, antenna switch and the balun on my 80 m v
I should have added that I'm using Ham Radio Deluxe v3.4. Dunno if that matters or not... Kim Elmore, N5OP _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com ht
I guess this capability must be common knowledge and I simply missed it. Besides Ham Radio Deluxe, does the N4PY software enable this as well? Kim Elmore, N5OP _______________________________________
Not true: I added an LDG tuner to my first OII. Alas, that one was struck by lightning and I doubt that anything in it is reliable anymore. Kim Elmore, N5OP __________________________________________
I'd like a copy of the list. There's another one that I've heard of before: the old Morse telegrapher's "is the wire (or frequency) busy?" which, I was told, is the old Morse "C" didit dit. I was tol
Great! My Dad, W5JHJ (SK) had told me about this shortly after I got my Novice ticket in 1970. I'd never heard or read of it anywhere. Now, the long comma -- that's a great one! I have my 2nd Class R
I installed an OT-11P in my O II and it worked flawlessly. Alas, that one got hit by lightning and was deemed unrepairable. It stall had that tuner in it, but I have no idea if it workes or not. Insu
That's an interesting way to go about using the tuner, one I never tried and I must admit it's a good idea. I found that, without this step, the LDG tuner -- and the fact that it was a bit less expen
This is a great write up and I'm grateful to you, Jerry, for taking the time to generate it. Now, while I've had my O II for over a year, circumstances have prevented me from using it as much as I'd
This is a great discussion. I truly appreciate Bob's latest entry. Some time ago on this list, someone posted a message that suggested using the menus to set the AGC threshold such that the S-meter d
Even so, the O II is still no slouch! When these sorts of levels are reached, I have to wonder of the differences are detectable by human operators? Is there a situation in which the O II operator wi
For some time, I've noticed what seemed to be a very slight frequency misalignment between VFO A and VFO B when in the binaural mode (A in one ear and B in the other). On my O II it's noticeable even
As I was adjusting the AGC for 80 m (noisy) I found that the increments of threshold adjustment get very coarse as the threshold is increased. For example, near the end of its range, it progresses (i
