First of all, by Omni D, the D just means that it has a digital display. An Omni A would mean it had an analog display. There were the original Omni A or Omni D, then there were follow ons with the s

During WWII, the army taught morse code to lots and lots of soldiers. They gathered a lot of statistics on it. Their conclusion was that everyone could learn morse code to 25 wpm. There were some tha
I'm sorry but I don't buy the analogy. CW is a mode that most of us enjoy. Whether or not it is required for a license is meaningless. I have never operated PSK31 but lots of people enjoy it. PSK31 h
No, there is a vernier with about a 6 to 1 ratio. The dial skirt rotates once per 100 khz, and the knob rotates once per 15 khz or so. The dial skirt can actually be used to measure frequency if the
I use 0.30 hang time on my medium and slow AGC. This fixes the "noisy" AGC problem on weak signals. The default hang on the Orion is 0 hang on all AGC speeds. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive
In a DX pileup, the strong gravelly sound of heavy speech processing is essential to break a pileup. Rag chewing vs DX'ing pileups for rare stations require very different audio setups. Carl Moreschi
Your assuming that you can be heard. In weak signal work where you are only hearing part of the audio anywhere, compression really helps. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays,
I think my previous statements on this subject may have been misinterpreted. Any processed SSB signal that sounds very distorted and is difficult to copy defeats the purpose of processing. The correc
He is referring to a feature in my Omni V.9 chip that allows you to correct for frequency error in each band crystal so the frequency readout can be made exactly correct. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Littl
I just got a new batch of chips and have them all written. I have chips for the Omni V that make it almost an Omni VI. These are what I call Omni V.9 version 2 chips. They are complete with stickers

The ALC control on the Orion works by reducing the drive to maintain the desired output. This means that when you set ALC to 50 watts, the drive is cut in half. This also means that you may not have
I believe the Orion would show similar results to what Lee found below. Remember the modern tentec rigs adjust output power entirely with ALC by reducing drive to the final stages. This really simpli
The baud rate for the Orion is fixed at 57600 baud. And a DOS program does have a limiot of 9600 baud so I would say you casnnot do it with NA. But CT looks just like NA and is now free and does have
The frequency command for the argonaut uses a 4 byte binary number for the frequency portion of the message. You have to convert the decimal frequency in hertz to a 4 byte hexadecimal number and then
But the line out is an RCA jack with only a single channel output. So one receiver to the left and one receiver to the right is impossible through a single connection. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little B
I had something similar problem happen to my OII when I first received it. It would go almost deaf. I changed antenna settings to antenna 2 and right back to anetnna 1 and the problem never occurred
