Actually I'm currently running 4 separate sessions of N4PY software for the Pegasus on the same computer along with WriteLog. WriteLog itself is setup for 4 radios, it tracks both the frequency and m
My interpretation is that the added cost of the Orion makes the money that was spent on big antennas that much more effective. What was implied as I see it is that the radios heretofore couldn't full
Yes the point about the Orion?s performance being driven by superior analog design is completely true. However the bigger mistake the manufacturers (and many end users) are all making is insisting th
I couldn't agree more. By going the API route TT could continue to focus on what they know best, and that is great analog RF design, and also making that bridge between the analog and digital worlds.
As I recall the last digit of the "newer" (post ~1990) Ten Tec S/N scheme tells you the year of manufacture. The "04" I'm not 100% sure of but I believe is the month of the year it was manufactured,
And once you get into the VHF/UHF spectrum you must also consider that the overall RX system's noise figure limit can in some cases be determined by feed line losses alone. That is a situation that i
Try down loading it by "right clicking" on the download link on RFSquared.com and the do a "Save Target As..." of the OrionUpdate.exe firmware update file to a simple directory path such as C:\FLASH
I went through a similar experience, I started building my VHF SSB/CW station with an Icom IC-290H back in 1983. Used that radio for years. I then upgraded to a pair of IC-820H's to cover 144 & 432
The IF's of the Jupiter are 45Mhz, 455Khz, and 12Khz (maybe 14Khz). While it may be possible to adapt the SM-220 to one of those IF's the gotcha is that the 1st LO tunes in 2.5Khz steps. So the pan d
They exist today, they are called PC "monitors", .... and work pretty darn good too! - :). Duane N9DG __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail SpamGuard - Read only the mail you
Yes the CW bandwith 6.3MHz filters were also an option for the 580 Delta's single CW xtal filter slot. Duane N9DG __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business $15K Web Desi
Actually if you look closely at the current crop of DSP IF radios they too are essentially phasing type "modulators". They all pretty much work on the principle of where the last analog IF stage feed
Amen, the notion of ground referencing mic leads is just plain silly. Duane N9DG __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos: High-quality 4x6 digital prints for 25¢ http://p
Here's a technote from Rane Corporation that goes into some pretty good detail about the interconnecting of audio gear, both balanced and unbalaced. http://www.rane.com/note110.html The bottom line i
I've never understood why so many think that interfacing their radios to the DX clusters spots is such a crowning achievement of ham radio DXing and shack design. To me if the DX appears on a cluster
Part of the problem that everybody gets into when discussing lightning and our radio gear is the notion that lightning is somehow "seeking..." or "comes in on" one thing or another. Perhaps a better
One method would be to listen to the fundemaental frequency of the transverter's LO xtal with the RX feeding an audio program like Spectran. Then note the precise audio frequency trace of the LO carr
Boy talk about answering a question that wasn't even asked!!! That'll teach me to respond to an email post that I only quickly scanned while in a hurry. Nevertheless the same idea presented below cou
Another part of this equation is achieving a much better situational awareness of band conditions at any given moment, spectrum scopes on the radio itself is a small step in the right direction but t
I'm not aware of any integration between N1MM and N4PY software. Though there really wouldn't be any technical reason why it couldn't be handled by the same software API level communication method as
