[TenTec] Contest Data and Conclusions

[Tommy]

Thanks for the info John. I appreciate it.

I'm certainly not questioning what your doing John, I just don't 
fully understand it. Can you please tell me why you have BOTH loop 1 
and loop 2 turned on? Have you done any testing in Key Loop 1, using 
CW in full QSK? And have you done any testing using Key Loop 2, 
using CW in full QSK? I know you say it works fine for you in SSB, 
but my problem is the Orion will randomly stop putting out RF when 
using the Titan 3 in either Keying Loop 1 or Keying Loop 2. I have 
never operated it with both keying loops turned on since I only have 
the Orion connected to one Titan 3.

Certainly would appreciate more information.

Thanks John.
