As I recall, there were some changes in the methods to maintain frequency stability with the Omni VI. I believe there was originally an oven. A later mod left the oven on, even when the rig was off a
The pictured key looks just like a key I got from Radio Shack back in 1972 or so, for probably about $10. I still use it today when I need a straight key. I guess I have new respsect for it now that
Has anyone had any luck using a Timewave DSP599zx as a computer soundcard / PTT interface with a Pegasus / Jupiter? I can't seem to get clean TX audio when listening to the TX monitor. It sounds like
I'm still considering remote (20+ feet) operation of my Pegasus. Based on some previous replies on this forum, Canare Star Quad cable was recommended for running mic level audio, so as to minimize in
Does anyone know of any PSK31 software that can do more than just toggle an RS232 status (RTS / DTR) line for PTT control? The reason is that I have a laptop that I want to use for portable operation
I just got a new Heil ProSet Plus headset / microphone. I tried to enable the audio monitor on my Omni V to hear how it sounds. With the audio monitor level at max, I had to crank the mic gain up to
Have I misssed something? I just purchased a used Omni VI w/ option 3 upgrade. I can find no way to monitor the transmitted audio. My Omni V has a pot on the back (granted, not very convenient) that
I'm pretty tone deaf. When I operate CW, since I have my radio audio connected to my computer soundcard for other digital modes, I run and audio spectrum program and use that to zero beat. It would b
I'm definitely going to get a copy of the article. Have you seen the "Super C" antenna that Gap is advertising on their website, www.gapantenna.com It sounds somewhat similar. Mark
While we're on the subject of DSP books, Check out www.dspguide.com. There is a downloadable book (640 pages in PDF format) about DSP. I'm about 1/3 of the way through - reading it on my computer scr
I just installed Carl, N4PY's Omni V.9 update. Part of the process involves changing the keys on the keypad (both rearranging and replacing) and adding labels above the keys. I didn't want to do that
Just some food for thought... The new crop of radios such as the Orion seems to be raising the bar as far as definition of what is a 'radio'. In the old days, it was obvious - this box is a radio, a
Eric, Assuming that the PBT works like that on the Omni V and VI with which I'm familar, it shouldn't change the frequency of the receieved station, just the effective audio passband. If you have a p
Recently, I connected my Kenwood HS-5 headphones to my Omni V. There is a noticeable rumble in the audio. The level of this rumble seems to be independent of the AF Gain setting. In fact, with the AF
Eric, The Band Pass knob adjusts the center frequency of an audio bandpass filter. The width of the filter is proportional to the center frequency (i.e. it is wider at higher frequencies and narrower
the Thanks for the suggestion. The TT 962 power supply is located directly under the radio towards the left side. I think the problem is impedance related rather the coupling with the ps. The noise
Bob, I checked the Omni V manual. It, too, states 4 - 16 ohms. It's curious that the 8 ohm Kenwood HS-5 headphones have the problem, while the 200 ohm Heil headphones don't. 73, Mark phones. place
Tim, There is nothing that PC based control software can do to affect any of the Rx parameters that are listed on the Elecraft site. That performance is controlled entirely by the hardware and firmwa
