We're NOT just trying to win the contest. I think "this" is what many people fail to understand. We're chasing the "Club Championship". We are competing against other similar sized clubs. We sometime
Rick, Thank you for that explanation. Although I work in IT, I don't do any programming of contest related software, so I hadn't heard of Omni-Rig before. And I'm sure many other contesters haven't e
You know the Omni Rig guy probably thought that because the Eagle uses USB, it did not make a comport. If he knew it still appeared as a comport, I bet he would add the commands. After a bandwidth co
Regarding control interfaces. Everything TEN-TEC makes from this point on will follow either the Orion II or the OMNI-VII protocol. There are minute differences between the Eagle and the Orion protoc
GM Carl, Ron, and others, I must say Alex's comment shocked me too, but I thought it would be easy enough to do so I didn't even reply to him. I tried exactly that; to send "BW=0" command (I forget t
You have all the time in the world, John, just as long as it's ready by mid October! ;-) When I get a chance, I'll fire up my logging software and define exactly what the mode problem is when double-
I'll preface my query with the caveat that I'm not a software engineer nor do I program for a living. I know C (a little) and programmed in mostly FORTRAN when I did do a lot of programming. I've nev

I have been following this thread for a bit and I'd like to add a comment. I have been using CQRlog for some time now and it does support the Eagle. The support is not fully tested as yet, but it w
You may be right Rick, but think about this... The PC world is moving away from COM ports (and LPT printer ports as well), in favor of USB ports. Has been for years. You can order some computers with
"Life is better with Linux" Until you have to do real work! ;-) But that's even worse than arguing religion. There is a time and place for both of these operating systems and I find it wrong to call
-- NOT SO, DICK TRACY ! There IS a way. I use a 4-port serial port PCIe I/O add-on card that gave my new computer 4 old fashioned serial ports. NO USB-SERIAL ADAPTERs in my shack. These look and act
Ron, I have been hearing that the PC world is moving away from COM ports for 10 years now. Granted, the consumer products you see at Best Buy don't have COM ports, but I wouldn't buy any manufacturer
James is ABSOLUTELY right! That's the best way to do it. I also have a CardBus to RS-232 adapter for use with laptops. Solves the problem for laptops. 73 - Rick, DJ0IP (Nr. Frankfurt am Main) -- NOT
Then the people behind the middle ware app control which radios will be considered for use by the contest community, and by extension, the bulk of the active Amateur Radio community. -- Not at all.
In one point James is right. The people in EU aren't really standing in line to buy an Eagle, and having Omni-Rig support wouldn't change that. However I never once said that Omni-Rig was the reason
Thanks as always John, Your input is always read carefully. As an Orion II owner, waiting for a suitable replacement keeps me even more patient than I really am. Don't forget, there are a LOT of Ten-
To keep the Orion "replacement" ahead of its time, why not design in a state-of-the-art interface: https://thunderbolttechnology.net/ 10 - 20 Gb/s ought to be fast enough...... :) Reed / WW3A _______
Well said Mike. Kent W9NX Don't forget, there are a LOT of Ten-Tec Orion users out here that will purchase the Orion replacement. In my opinion the Orion was WAY AHEAD of its time.... "Don't forget u
John Henry, Thanks for all of your fine work. I am stuck with the Fixed Income Curse but, do get to play with the Newer Ten Tec gear sometimes. And do I really enjoy that, when it happens. The Parago
