Rick, Even though the Eagle only has a USB port, Windows makes that appear as a normal comport. So any program that is written for the Orion, can work with the Eagle for simple things like logging. T
Rick - Carl handled the USB port issue. Let me give you my two cents on the dxpedition part of your message. You said - "if you are going on an expedition with 20 other guys, you need to take rigs th
Carl, Yes it works, but not fully. There are two or three problems I always find when using software which relies on OmniRig for its I/F. One thing is, once under computer control, you cannot adjust
John, You ask if I am familiar with T32C... That's like asking if Pope if he is Catholic. I sponsor nearly every major DX-pedition in the world with antennas. Are you by chance a member of any contes
Wow, you sure read more into that than was intended. I was just saying that lesser radios can do the job. Your message never mentioned any contest club or other organization. Just the 'boys'. Please
Easy John. I was only trying to point out that success is dependent on good organization, not the radio. It's all about preparation. Generally 2 years of preparation precede a 2 week expedition. Unfo
Rick, I think your the one that needs to go easy here. John is one of the nicest people I know. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.com It's all about preparation. Generally
Regarding the Orion II vs K3: I think Barry hit all the key nails on the head regarding the K3 shortcomings. One thing I'd disagree with just slightly: I don't consider the move from K3 to Orion II o

Pshaw - Rick... your argument proves too much: If your club needs to standardize on just one radio to avoid operator error, maybe it needs better operators! ;-) ;-) ;-) Ha! Besides, it would be easie
OK, I apologize to John. Sorry John. Ya hit a hot button by me. My fault. Cheers! (thanks Carl) 73 - Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt am Main) --Original Message-- From: TenTec [mailto:tentec-bounces@conte

James, there are 3 things that prevent the Eagle from ever becoming any contest club's (or dx-pedition's) radio of choice: 1): No Band Data available on the back panel to drive external amplifiers, B
Rick, OmniRig, whatever it is, is something I've never heard of before. I've never even heard mention, or hints, of it before on the CQ Contest reflector, or anywhere else. If this is something that
Thanks for the gloss on OmniRig... although I am already familiar with what it, and use it regularly with my FiFi SDR. I am not sure your list of roadblocks is universally applicable. None of those t
Ron, I understand why you write that; all very logical. First of all, it's not a fault of the rig. IMO it was very innovative for Ten-Tec to add a USB rather than COM port. After all, when's the last
James, you group is what? 20 guys? You've told me about the problems you had trying to get them to implement some of your ideals (which were good ideals). My club has 400 members. You don't easily ge
For instance, Ham Radio Delux interfaces to Omni-Rig and can be used with any of the 75 radios on the list. There is lots of software using it. TEN-TEC PLEASE, whatever the Orion II replacement is, m
We have 400 members familiar with it. But that's just us. Each contest team or each DX team has their own story. It (I cannot resist...) Er ... if you have 400 members on the team... you had darned w
