[TenTec] Raspy CW

[Larry Menzel]

Hi, Vince.

I guess we need a bit more information to really help you, but perhaps a 
couple things you can try right a way.

Are you referring to a raspy received cw note or are you getting complaints 
that the transmitted cw tone is raspy as others listen to your signal?

If the receiver audio is raspy that's one thing, but if your transmitted 
note is, that's an entirely different matter. For example, if you are using 
your noise blanker aggressively, that can cause raspy receive audio.

If your transmitted tone is not clean and smooth, the first thing I'd check 
is to make sure that your radio is getting all the current it needs.  The 
Orion likes to have a dedicated power supply of at least 20 amps, with a 35 
amp source being even better.  Low current can cause all kinds of issues, a 
raspy cw note being one of them.

Give us a little more to work with as far as what you're experiencing.

Larry, N0XB
