Howdy folks: Just got my Orion after an interminable wait and finally read enough to put it on the air. I notice a "hiss" and a "click" on the sidetone when each character is keyed. I am using the He
Me too, but my Heil is an old light weight affair, forget the name of it. Yes, but it does not bother me, hi. I am not returning my Orion because of them. And, I hear absolutely no "whine" at all; b
It sounds like your headphones are 8 ohms. I suggest either adding a 100 ohm pad in series with each headphone or get 32 ohm headphones. The 100 ohm resistors can added right in the headphone jack. J
Doesn't the ORION already have series resistors in each phone lead at the phone jack? 73/72, George Amateur Radio W5YR - the Yellow Rose of Texas Fairview, TX 30 mi NE of Dallas in Collin county EM13
Yes, but it is matched to 32 ohm headphones. Carl Moreschi N4PY Franklinton, NC -- Original Message -- From: "George, W5YR" <w5yr@att.net> To: <tentec@contesting.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 1
You can often solve a lot of extraneous noise in the headphones problems with the addition of a series resistor in the headphone circuit. On my Omni VI, I use a 1K resistor in series with my 200 ohm

I don't see the issue as being "what impedance the headphone are" associated directly with the concerns. If the HP Z is low [less than source Z] then the majority of electrical energy will be dissipa

Or, Ten Tec could just manufacture a $3300 radio that didn't have hisses or clicks when used with 8-ohm headphones. Just a suggestion. 73, Mike - WB4HUC Austin, TX ohm -- -- Previous message: [TenTec
I don't think that the impedance of the headphones is really the significant issue. I think you are getting RF into them. I still have had great success with ferrites, and suggest again trying them.
