141. [TenTec] Orion - The Kachina Design Theory (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2002 15:40:10 -0800 (PST); <snip> I agree, and to be with a company that maintains a decently active effort in developing updated firmware code. In the new world of software defined radios the importance of an active and aggre; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-03/msg00191.html (8,937 bytes)
142. [TenTec] ORION ..comments (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2002 06:13:48 -0800 (PST); I too fret about RCA connectors for power uses, they are a disaster waiting to happen. On all of my Down East Microwave transverters I went so far as to replace all power RCA's with pig tail leads. I; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-03/msg00285.html (11,112 bytes)
143. [TenTec] ORION PIX ON TT WEBSITE (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2002 06:29:34 -0800 (PST); When QST reviewed the 2000 they were so enamored with all of those buttons and menus too. It seemed like whenever they ran out of nice things to say about it they would keep bringing up those menus a; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-03/msg00289.html (9,084 bytes)
144. [TenTec] ORION ..comments (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2002 06:39:12 -0800 (PST); Capping the unused power RCA's on the radio side surely is a good idea. However that's only half of the potential problem. If you use RCA male to male jumper cables for power purposes you still have; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-03/msg00291.html (8,762 bytes)
145. [TenTec] ORION - no PS/2 connector :-( (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2002 06:58:09 -0800 (PST); While I can't fault TT for putting a lot of thought and effort into building a traditional front panel radio, that is a large static market after all. I am however disappointed that they apparently a; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-03/msg00292.html (7,538 bytes)
146. [TenTec] Orion Comment ( too long) (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2002 19:10:25 -0800 (PST); Caution: Contains humor. It seems that so much of the recent discussion has focused on the looks of the Orion vs. what's actually in it or how well it will interface to the new technology world. FWIW; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-03/msg00353.html (9,781 bytes)
147. [TenTec] KB7OEX: a big plus favoring ORION (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2002 13:29:28 -0800 (PST); There is a widely held misconception that Flash ROM alone will make the radio last forever, not true. Without doubt though it will extend the useful life significantly in terms of obsolescence, .....; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-03/msg00514.html (10,131 bytes)
148. [TenTec] KB7OEX: a big plus favoring ORION (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2002 13:35:56 -0800 (PST); Icom is by no means unique to the behavior of obsoleting previous models quickly, all of the import manufacturers tend to do that. Also keep in mind that the imported radios can and do frequently get; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-03/msg00515.html (9,499 bytes)
149. [TenTec] Re: Comments on the Orion (Yes, I know about the Pegasus and Jupiter) (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2002 14:29:20 -0800 (PST); <snip> Very true, I believe that there would be a sizeable market for a model in the $2000-2200 range. Another market that needs to be addressed is offering each of these models in both a front panel; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-03/msg00524.html (8,619 bytes)
150.

On the contrary, I think it could be argued it actually represents more, at a minimum a higher degree of cleverness. As an example the unsophistic; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-03/msg00530.html (13,551 bytes)
151. [TenTec] Re: Orion & software upgrades scenario (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2002 19:50:49 -0800 (PST); I'm sure many would, but unless there is a viable means to protect from firmware piracy it would be difficult to make a good business case to support charging for the firmware upgrades. I believe Kac; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-03/msg00538.html (11,132 bytes)
152. [TenTec] KB7OEX: a big plus favoring ORION (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2002 07:40:51 -0800 (PST); These kinds of shortcomings are not specific to DSP designs. Any RX that has a ton of mixers will share these issues. This is precisely why I'm partial to a direct conversions scheme along the lines; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-03/msg00557.html (10,874 bytes)
153. [TenTec] KB7OEX: a big plus favoring ORION (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 20:44:57 -0800 (PST); As long as the A/D conversion stage is not being overloaded, has good S/N, and sufficient bits it should be quite good. But I'll acknowledge that is where the challenge lies. Perhaps that challenge a; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-03/msg00612.html (14,555 bytes)
154. [TenTec] Orion / SO2R Definition (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2002 21:17:13 -0800 (PST); I suspect that these kinds of issue will become hotly debated in the contesting circles before long. The obvious advantage for having Hey, you've just described many of the key elements of my dream r; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-03/msg00617.html (10,104 bytes)
155. [TenTec] Orion / SO2R Definition (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2002 09:41:03 -0800 (PST); Whoa there, as much as find all this talk of these stratospheric technologies for inter-networking processors interesting, we are after all talking about amateur radio equipment that needs to be pric; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-03/msg00628.html (9,044 bytes)

While I have no illusions that every conceivable narrowband mode could be done with the existing Pegasus/Jupiter hardware, quite the contrary. I am however convinc; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-03/msg00648.html (14,461 bytes)
157. [TenTec] Pegasus Filtering (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2002 07:12:50 -0800 (PST); Wouldn't it be a nice firmware enhancement to offer additional "modes" that provide for sharper filter skirts, even if it means not using QSK in those instances? There are times where fast RX/TX swit; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-02/msg00397.html (7,552 bytes)
158. [TenTec] why use W4PY software for the Jupiter? (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2002 09:06:48 -0800 (PST); But wait there's more that need specific mention: Sub/dual RX operation with RX-320 or with another Pegasus/Jupiter, or RX331/340.

[TenTec] Orion prototype (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2002 14:03:34 -0800 (PST); I didn't get the impression at all that the main Orion RX is going to be crystal filter based, at least not in the sense that the Omni VI et al have been. "Main receiver is amateur radio bands only,; /archives//html/TenTec/2002-02/msg00452.html (10,594 bytes)
160. [TenTec] software for the Jupiter... what I would like to see.. (score: 1): Author: n9dg@yahoo.com (Duane Grotophorst); Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2002 15:30:19 -0800 (PST); I couldn't agree more. I completely agree with these remarks too, so much of what software define radios and software control can give us is simply not being recognized by hams in general.
