Trying to work the 10-meter contest that just ended from my high-noise QTH, I found a very narrow heterodyne on my Orion II, just one sideband from 28,027,618 to 28,027,627 Hz. (With my step set norm
Well, I guess what I'm asking is if this is internal to the Orion II; do other O2 owners find this narrow signal? (It's still here this snowy Maryland morning...) -- John, K3GHH _____________________
Still there, Fred; no change in strength. (I should have thought to do that myself...) -- John, K3GHH _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://
Ken, on UCW the CW note (tuning up the band) is first heard as a high-pitched tone at 28,027,618 Hz, falling in pitch until it disappears at ...627 Hz (not audible at 628). On LCW, tunig up the band
Thanks, Ken... no change when other things turned off. I'm going to not pursue this thread further; if anyone becomes curious about it later, or duplicates the issue, he or she can revive it. I appre
Thanks, Jerry... your comments are consistent with what I had suspected, though I lack the technical knowledge to explain it as you have. It's so narrow, and on a band I don't frequent anyway, that i
Is a low-pass filter advisable or necessary with modern equipment (like my O2)? When I became active again in the mid-80s I automatically installed my old (1950s era) E. F. Johnson cylindrical LPF be
I picked this up on one of my other groups, where it was described with this quote: http://www.popsci.com/archives Having used several Hallicrafters receivers in my youth, I typed that into the "Sear
I'm just using the defaults, Mark: 100% and 5ms. (That's one of many things about the Orion I haven't yet experimented with.) From the manual's description the 3:1 dah:dit ratio is unchangeable, so "
I don't know, Mike... I thought I detected a little chirp. -- John K3GHH _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/
After a recent update of O2 firmware to 2.044A, when I first turn the rig on its bandwidth (on LCW mode) is 1000 Hz. When I turn the rig off the bandwidth is usually 500 Hz and often less -- certainl
Thanks, Hank... but they're both off. -- John K3GHH _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
Thanks, Ray. That did it! I never would have thought of that on my own. --John K3GHH -- John K3GHH _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lis
John, why are you shouting? -- John K3GHH _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
I hope someone can direct me to a beginner's tutorial on this topic somewhere. I just hooked my new TigerTronics SignaLink USB box between my Linux (Kubuntu 11.04, Natty) computer and my Orion II, af
Thanks... but I have it; it's right beside me, and it hasn't done the job. Steve Ford's book makes it sound as if I just have to tune to a RTTY station, and there's the text. Not seein' it... -- John
Thanks, Rick, Ed, Stuart, and Troy... I'm sure this will be helpful. And Ed, you're right: I misspoke (miswrote) -- I meant that linuxham is focused on fldigi, not on hamlib. I'll keep at it... excit
To those who offered help with my entry into digital modes, thanks... I haven't pursued all of your advice yet but thought I'd see if I could get the Kubuntu computer to interact with the O2 using CW
This thread is very illuminating. I've had my O2 for five years now and still feel as if I'm using about 10% of its capabilities. I generally just turn it on, work some CW, and turn it off -- a littl
Ah, I wondered if the "top vs bottom" issue would arise in this thread! I'm with JHR, strongly preferring "top posting." (The combination of "quoting everything" and "bottom posting" results, too oft
