That would be great. Nate just won 4 land here in the IARU contest and is working hard on qualifying for WRTC 2018. A few cold ones in Germany would be quite a treat! Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd

Bandwidth is traded for latency. The sharper the bandwidth, the more processing time that is taken, thus increasing latency. Also slop factor on the DSP filters affects latency. The steeper the filte
It is my opinion that very low dipoles that are much less than 1/4 wavelength are efficient radiators but most of the radiation is straight up. So they are not good for long distance but work well at
I'm not saying it is good to have a low antenna, I'm just saying a low dipole is efficient in terms of how much power it radiates, but is is just in the wrong direction. My particular interest right
Are you sure it is the switch and not the relay that the switch controls? No problem using the power supply switch with the Orion. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.com th
The XX command as previously mentioned does not reset the Orion. It is only done to establish communication over the serial port. When I initialize the radio, all I do is send out the settings for al

Have you reloaded the firmware? Have you done all 3 resets? 1) Power off Orion. 2) Power On holding the VFO B LCK button. 3) Continue holding LCK button until the radio says "Battery Failure". 4) Pow
I would first check out the battery status. If that's ok, the next thing I would do is clean all the cable connections to the Orion front panel. I do this by removing the Orion front panel, then unpl

This is a common problem with Paragons. The fix is to remove the PLL board and reflow all the solder joints on that board. The problem is cold solder joints that don't show up until much later in the
I called it the Omni V.9 because it was almost an Omni VI. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.com Ah yes! Thanks for the correction. :) 73, Jim ____________________________
Rick, I think this is normal. The mixing scheme works such that LSB comes out as normal on 80 meters. I seem to recall that my Omni A worked the same way. I think they use the same crystal for 20 and
I still say it is normal and SB-N on 80 meters is USB by design. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.com This now sounds like a dirty switch contact. Tim KE4KE Last time I w
