One of our local hams is having problems mating his Orion 564 to his ACOM 2000A (automatic linear). The problem is only when trying to run full QSK at speeds above 40 wpm. In SSB or when running slow
It sounds like he needs a keyer that can adjust all the keying delays to get around this. The K1EL winkey keyer has parameters to adjust delays both ahead of and after keying. There is even a special
All makes good sense, Carl. I'll forward your suggestions to him. I don't think he was looking to have a computer connected all the time and it appears at first glance that the WinKey keyer needs the
There is another K1EL keyer that runs standalone but I'm not sure if it is as versatile as the winkey. Carl Moreschi N4PY Franklinton, NC -- Original Message -- From: "NJ0IP" <Rick@dj0ip.de> To: <ten
Has he talked to the folks at ACOM yet? That is the next thing I would do. It should work with the keying loop. Lee _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesti
Rick.... Your friends problem is not funny, but I just have to sit here and chuckle to myself. For some 14 months I have been talking about this problem and having to read the responses of how I must
What firmware release is he running? 73, Dick WC1M _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
Version 3.71. Do you think he should try 3.69? Just got off the phone with him. Interesting. The problem ONLY occurs when using his 20m beam. If he uses a dummy load or a vertical or one of the dipol
Per TenTec...On the Omni VI+, they came out with firmware 1.03 in an attempt to eliminate the microCHIRP. The revision added a delay to the keying of the PLL's oscillator. The downside to this is tha
Folks: I want to add my 2 cents. I do have the same issue while I was trying to use Orion and ACOM2000A all together in non-QSK mode (the Amp key connector on Orion's rear panel). It does not work. I
N4LQ noted "The Orion had QSK in the earlier firmware versions but due to clicking in the sidetone and whatever else, they added a delay in later versions and now QSK is non-existent over about 20 WP
I know your heart's in the right place when you say that and for sure I hope you are correct. What makes that somewhat difficult to believe however, is the excrutatingly slow progress with v1.372. An
Perhaps little consolation to those afflicted, but I used my Orion with Acom2000A in keying loop1 during SS CW and didn't have a single rig/amp/keying glitch. However in the spirit of full disclosure
And Barry, you sounded great out here on the west coast. The keying was flawless. Al W6LX _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contes
Well of course speed is not the issue. I, too, was sending during SS ab 26 and 28 and 30 wpm and my Titan 3 worked flawless but it was being driven with my Omni 6 Plus. Seems like a lot of folks who
Hardcoded values should instead be user-tweakable settings - if the fix for this winds up being the modification of a hard coded value I would be P.O.ed. 73 Jason N1SU _______________________________
