You read too much into what I said. All I was doing was giving a case for where a 4:1 balun was better than a 1:1 balun. I wasn't talking about using coax. I was talking about 600 ohm open wire line
When you set the RF gain low and the audio gain high, you are really turning off AGC. I never had to do that with my Orion and Orion II. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.
This should not be happening. I suspect a memory corruption in the Orion. I recommend doing a full reset to the Orion. 1) Power off Orion. 2) Power On holding the VFO B LCK button. 3) Continue holdin

I would leave it alone. The 38 ohm antenna is excellent. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.com I DO have a 40m ground plan with 65 radials. And it has that textbook 38 ohm
How much coax did you add? The main idea of open wire line is it is much less lossy than coax at high SWR's. You therefore want to keep the coax portion is short as practical. The SWR on the feedline
That's a new one on me. How could loss be less with high SWR on a short length of coax? It makes no sense. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd Louisburg, NC 27549 www.n4py.com On 11/9/2013 5:07 PM, Stev
I say it's 50-50 whether it's a high impedance or low impedance at the coax connection point. We don't know how long the open wire line is so the high SWR line could have rotated to anything that wou
If you use coax for an 80 meter dipole and run it on 40 meters with coax, the loss will be very high. That's because the additional loss from a high SWR (around 100 to 1 in this case) is huge. If you

The Orion brings up the amp key line 15 msec before transmit comes on. The real test is lower the power output to minimum. If this fixes it then RFI is the problem. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood Rd L
I said this before and I will say this again. Rob Sherwood agrees with me on this. And I know I am going to get beat up on this but I'm tired of hearing wrong things about RF gain. RF gain has absolu
