John, I operated my Orion II this weekend in the AWA's AM QSO Party, and noticed that the transmit equalization is quite a bit different between AM and SSB. On SSB, it sounded best when flat (0 dB),
John, Further to my earlier email, I ran some more tests, listening to myself on an external receiver (actually, an Argonaut V). The difference in equalization between AM and SSB did not show up ther
There is a distinct difference in the monitor sound of AM vs. SSB that I have noted for some time on the "Fix List" on my website. It sounds more like the sample rates are different with AM getting t
How much power can we run on the OII safely in AM mode? Thanks, Lee There is a distinct difference in the monitor sound of AM vs. SSB that I have noted for some time on the "Fix List" on my website.
I looked at the Orion's output on AM recently (latest fw) with a scope and it looks to be tightly controlled. You'll get 25W carrier output with power setting of "100". Use the usual mic gain setting
So, set the output to 25 watts and good to go... Thanks, Lee Lee Simmonds Summit DCS LLC 260-799-4077 Office 260-403-6936 Cell 25 watts carrier, 100 watts pep otherwise it distorts on modulation pe
OK, so set the power 100 is fine? I thought I might have to set it at 25. 73, Lee I looked at the Orion's output on AM recently (latest fw) with a scope and it looks to be tightly controlled. You'll
As much as it will allow you! Mine makes only about 16 Watts carrier if there is no audio. However, there is an interesting feature in the Orions where the carrier power actually increases as modulat
Ron, It sounds that way to me too. Hope T-T includes the monitor in their next revision. 73 Ray W2RS In a message dated 2/21/2011 8:34:56 P.M. GMT Standard Time, ronc@sonic.net writes: There is a dis
This used to be called controlled carrier modulation. It was a feature of cheaper rigs in the 1960's like the Knight T-60 and the Heath DX-60. It seems to work pretty well, and is a whole lot cheaper
It's a bit more complicated than that and the results are a lot better! Doug Smith, who was the original DSP designer of the Orion series has brief explanation on how it works: http://www.tentecwiki.
