Working some DX working split this am.... Is it my imagination or was the OII with it's faster dragonball CPU supposed to allow the sweep to work better? When I tune the sweep stops. Granted at least
IMHO it is very important to be able to change freq quickly while watching the sweep. Great for just jumping on a signal you want to go check outand especialy for split DX. I hope the feature comes o
IMHO the OII sweep is very nice, and it works well except when you start tuning fast it stops completely. It would be much more useable if it kept running just as fast when you tune.. Much, much bett
If they can afford a $10,000 radio I guess it's expected that options will be high. A Lot of us (I believe) think $4200 is a lot of money for a radio. I guess I just expected with the advertising of
If you tune real slow the sweep seems to keep updating OK. If you tune even moderately fast it stops updating the screen. It is a pretty good sweep, very functional, but it stops. Knowing something a
Grant, Douglas.... Very nice work! Now today I am going to try out that scenario on 20 as well (lately seems like the band of choice for DX) RF gain full throttle.... Airspeed 140, flaps 40, gear dow
EXACTLY, ok, let's see here... isn't the Orion supposed to be a contest radio? Yes, it is already a great contest radio IMHO. Just needs some additional tweeking. I have confidence in TT, that a solu
Joe, what that means is that the firmware just doesn't update the screen during fast tuning. The data (signals) is there no problem, and is available to other SW programs (Carls included). Updating t
Yes, my real issue is hunt & pounce, as an example. Split DX. VFO A on DX's RX Freq. VFO B to look for the Freq. the folks are calling him on ...up 5-10 go back & forth with RX Main set to VFO A then
Merle, Yes, I agree all these things are real problems and need to be fixed. I am assuming (yeah, I know what it means) that these issues will be fixed. I love the operational aspects and the archite
Expect even more improvements in the future... 73, Lee _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
Grant, Doesn't help me at all as I use step size 10, tuning rate fast. Don't know any other way to get good SSB tuning as 100 step size is too much to tune well. Thanks for the research! 73, Lee ____
Duane, Yep, I agree, but sometimes it works out OK. In the last DX contest, most of the time (sometimes those idiots would just keep calling) only one person was talking to the DX at a time. When I w
Grant, It makes complete sense, as I'm sure that the encoder pulses are what is a higher priority than sweep update is. As long as lots of em are coming into the CPU, more masking of updating the swe
May I suggest you call TT and tell them what you just told us. They need to know how we feel about this... 73, Lee _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contestin
Rick, Unless you have a full top notch test equipment lab, I would send it back for the mods. They will also re-align things, in fact alignment may be necessary with these mods? 73, Lee _____________
Yep, to me it doesn't either. But 1.371 DID sound better and make it easier to copy! Lee _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contest
Grant, Amen,,, In the end my needs are small. Hi Hi! I want NR to quiet the RX, let the signal come on out if possible, not becracly sounding (dsp sounding noise) especially when signal is not there,
Brent, Thanks for commenting... I never went to 1.372, as I heard about other problems and 1.371 was working pretty well for me. Are you running either Orion with V2 or OII with VII now? If you are a
Buck, I agree. I am not an electrical engineer, I don't want to be one (well maybe when I was younger!). BUT, you don't have to be to know when what you had before worked better than what you have no
