I had the two rigs mentioned in the subject here for rig shootouts, and we were able to copy Europeans on the Orion that were buried in the noise on the others. The Orion's filtering is superb, audio
I have seen so many "highly peculiar" test results over the half century plus I have been involved with electronics I really don't trust "objective" tests. By the time the test sees print at least so
I don't see how you can have a legitimate A/B test unless you have both the A and the B you are testing in operation at the same time, on the same antenna in the case of radios. There are simply too
I tend to agree with my old boss that an "expert" is someone who can look wise, keep his mouth shut, agree with the prosecution's case, and collect a fat fee after the trial is over, but I have no pr
It's still a sad fact that a certain percentage of electronic components will suffer "infant mortality." An equipment maker uses the best parts money can buy - rigorously tests the finished product -
Anent the implication that rednecks shoot up road signs, that's a base callumny. Rednecks have too many children and dogs to waste expensive shotgun shells on anything they cannot eat. The most commo
Hmmm: Well, the NB is quite effective on both my "option 3"s and my native VI+. However, during Field Day I have had a couple of complaints, the NB control, the smaller knob in the upper leftmost pai
Well, since I have to go open up in a few minutes - I have an Orion with two of the optional filter slots filled. My next order will be stock filters only - the optional filters are great but gilding
Well, in the rush I forgot to mention one important power supply detail. Before you buy any power supply for an Orion, remember the "Big O" needs the full 25 Amps from the power supply. And your acce
Well, personally, I think the Orion's optional filters are about as useful as painting the Painted Desert. Everyone to their own taste, and mine's loaded up - but.... My experience with JA DSP's did
Well, the difference between AF and RF is the same as it's always been. AF is a pressure wave that consists of alternate compressions and rarefications in a conductive medium. At present commercial a
There's one encoder and one terminal strip inside, and the Omni V manual has enough detail to let you hook the encoder to the DB-25. Or you can look back through the TenTec archives and you will find
Chuckle: An Orion and an RX 340 both would not be rich. What would be rich would be a pair of Orion's - a pair of '340's, and four Titans. Whew! 73 Pete Allen AC5E
The last time I looked Home Depot had these handy dandy all purpose door opener, light turner offers and onners, intrusion detectors, burglar alarms, and general fifty cent "swiss army knife type" ho
Stuart, I have replaced more than a few Zeniths with BSR's. And VM's, out of Benton Harbor. But are you sure those Zenith 78's weren't the infinitely variable speed "Cobramatics?" They sure looked li
Well, Uncle Charley isn't giving us much more room to spread out on but it's kinda' like the story of the camel's nose under the tent. The camel stuck his schnozz under the tent, lifted his head, and
My Orion is QSK up to at least 30 - that's as fast as my rheumatiz will let me send right now. But after I recover from toting all the stuff I don't need with the Orion out I will try to get my finge
Captain Midnigh't's secret decoder ring! Yep, had one of those. But I'm still waiting on the real flying model airplane made of genuine balsa. From a corn flakes box, circa 1940! At least, we don't h
Stuart, if Zenith ever made a 45 only it has escaped notice. The only popular 45' only turntables were RCA's and later on some JA copies. Most of the real Bloomington made RCA's had a red spindle top
