[TenTec] new O 2

[Paul Gates, KD3JF]

Well after reading you email it looks like you have the best of equipment but you are scrimming on the antenna. Sort of reminds me about church congregations who want the best of everything in the building but do not like like paying for the paving the parking lot!<g>
 
I am like you for I live in an apt above a church. I have good equipment  but have a Gap vert. and a G5RV at 30!

Gregg,
Congrats!
I honestly believe you will really like the OII.

I think you made a great decision getting OII vs 7800. The front end is 
awesome on the OII.
The roofing filters are great.

When I worked the last contest I just walked right down the band and worked 
virtually every signal I heard. They were for the most part every 2 KHZ, and 
when a very, very strong one was right next to a weak one... NO PROBLEM..... 
impressive.

Here is my settings for that contest(SSB):

Roofing filter on 1.8 (fixed)
DSP bandwidth 1700
PBT + 150 to +200 (for USB)
SP on 3-4
Mic gain 65
Low freq rolloff 150
TX bandwidth 2100
TX EQ +5   (Heil Goldline narrow HC5 element) (used -8 on wide position)
RX EQ -5

Prog. AGC:
Decay 10
Threshold 1.5
Hang 30


No NR, no NB

1000 watts out of an Alpha 91b, into ONLY a multiband dipole at 30 feet.

It was FUN......

73,
Lee, KC9CDT
