I've seen some mention of getting the bandscope info out of the O II for an alternate display, but I've been wondering: where does it come from? Is it essentially a third rx, of is it derived from so
Being one of the CW cranks, I almost never use SSB. But, I wanted to show the radio to some visiting kids and so fired up in SSB. I turned on the AN and found that the resulting audio was distorted,
I, too, would be interested in this. I reiterate Ron Castro's comments. Also, I would need to know just how "plug in" this mod would be. 73, Kim Elmore N5OP __________________________________________
as an aside, I found that my O II was off by 30 Hz (low -- I think). I took the cover off and adjusted it as best I could using WWV at 15 MHz and the "match tones between USB and LSB" method. Now I'm
I've also found the same things that Ron has found. I haven't verified audio quality in SSB yet, though I have briefly tested in SSB. I found that the H/W mic gain needed to be increased by 3 to 6 dB
On SSB, I have not noticed any audio distortion using RF AGC. However, using AF AGC, I note some audio distortion. I like a slow AGC for 'fone work; in addition to the other problems with the AF AGC,
This same fundamental limitation is shared by the K3 as well. Thanks to the modular nature of the Orion and Orion II, why can't the processor boards be upgraded? If we need a few GB of memory to sati
I have noticed a subtle characteristic with my OII on 15 m CW transmit: the power output varies in a random fashion key down CW. This happens whether I use a dummy load, tuner, or antenna. I noticed
Thanks, Ron and Jim! Last in, first out: Ron, the problem persists even at reduced power settings. I'll open it up and take a careful look while gently poking and prodding. I don't recall seeing this

I want to sincerely thank everyone that has chimed in on this, both on and off list. A bit more background: I have no antennas nearby the rig. My 15 m antenna is up about 60 ft and is about 80 ft tot
That's interesting: I, too, brought a bug to the test, along with the wedge needed to put it between the straight key contacts.. I sent maybe a word and the examiner said "That's fine." Because I had
I just downloaded and installed this one. In the first 5 min or so (hardly enough time to really evaluate much of anything) it seems very nice. I note that the waterfall display has been disabled fro
Where did they note this? I can't seem to find it... Kim N5OP _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/te
Mine is acting this way as well. I use LCW fro my operating. Regardless of the DSP BW settings upon power-down, when the transceiver is turned back on, the main rx returns to the proper mode but the
Having just read John Henry's excellent discussion, I can see that I stumbled upon part of this purely by accident. I understand both the behavior and the philosophy behind it, now! 73, Kim Elmore N5
I think we need to remember that there is no one, single kind of noise. Noise comes in all sorts of flavors. A noise reduction algorithm that removes white noise won;t do us much good. On the other h
There's at least one company that markets vertical dipoles: Force 12. I have their Sigma 80, which is an off-center-fed vertical dipole. It seems to work quite well, though it doesn't do well at all
The idea of stringing rope inside of tubular elements or tieing something loosely to a vibrating object to lessen Aeolian vibrations isn't to change the resonant frequency. The point is to insert a l
There are others that can go into more depth. I have an O II and like it very much. However, if you could get an Orion for he right price, decked out with tuner and filters, you'd probably get more b
