Hmm, so the Orion 3 will run a 4CX1500 :) Has anyone else seen this? I received it as an email newsletter from Alpha. 73, de Mike, K9UW ALPHA AMPLIFIERS AND TEN-TEC MERGE UNDER RF CONCEPTS BANNER LON

A bit off the original topic but interesting in it's own way guess. In Thailand (HS) the responsible authority (NBTC) has only held one testing for HF intermediate license class applicants in the las

That would not work in Thailand, which does have reciprocal agreement with Germany, since an amateur applying for a reciprocal license must hold a passport/citizenship of the country for which the re

Hmm, So where do all these dead Hercules end up? I think I'd like one, all sorts of ideas. _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.conte

I've long liked the analogue radio sound. So far my all time fave, just for the audio, is a KWM2 with that big 6x4 speaker, something about that warm sound seems magical. Next up from my current radi

You're right indeed! Now 11 deg N and 100 deg E is a place where the band conditions rarely exceed those of the 60's so my KWM2A still holds up well most of the time though I wouldn't use it in a pil

Kim, Yes I have tried that on the Orion 565, not sure if the K3 supports such changes and yes I would concur that it does create a more 'analogue' sound. I did have a chance to listen to a friends TS

I think in that regard the software plays as big a part as the hardware, so your choice of software will possibly govern what you can or want to do. Fortunately most are free so you can try or use se

I recall 2 issues with my 565 Orion that caused updating problems, battery and the 1uF caps around the MAX232 chip on the front panel module. O2 may be different. The oscillator in the Orion for the

For FSK I use a 3 transistor interface from a serial port to the Orion. One transistor is used for CW keying and the other for FSK, the third is the PTT transistor needed for FSK. I think the specifi
