The ARRL poll has me wondering. What is the distribution of operating modes on this list? Are we 80% CW? Maybe some computer smartie can figure out a way to construct a poll. I'd guess mostly CW but
OK, Paul. I bet a few of us could produce good pics for you and the Unofficial page. I see by your web page you want pics in JPG format 50K bytes or less in size. 50K is pretty small. Is that still a
Hey guys, Are any of you (lucky) Orion II purchasers going to be able to run the II side by side with the original Orion? I'm curious how the new compares to the old, and there's nothing like a real
Maybe I'm easy but this strikes me as very noteworthy. TenTec monitors the list and responds to comments! Gee, I don't get that kind of treatment by Honda, VW. I doubt I'd get that treatment by Kenwo
When I send CW, I hear a relay clicking. I'm guessing it has something to do with non-QSK switching for a linear (which I don't have). Is it something I can disable to quiet the rig? - Keith - ______
All this talk of the Orion II is NOT making me jealous! Why? Well, I'm glad you asked. I happen to have in my hot little hands, a tracking number for a rather nice decked-out Omni V that is on the wa
I do SW for a living. Bugs are a way of life. They happen and cannot be eliminated. You can follow good process do testing at different levels, etc., but still they are there. In my world I find the
That's fabulous John. You have me itching to buy a new Ten-Tec radio ... It would be fun but also the LAST thing I ever did! - Keith - A beautiful Omni VI Opt 3 just arrived from Santa...oh what a ni
She's already not so happy about me getting back into Ham radio without selling off all my air rifles. To get back in with a vengeance would be ... Foolish on my part :-) I'll just have to suffer alo
Yes, but ... Getting people to actually follow the process is the trick. It is so tempting to cut corners and ship it as soon as the new function is proven to be working. It takes a lot of fortitude
Hey Rick, I think I know what you mean :-) The new (your old) Omni V reads S9+10 when my old one read S9. I'm thinking about getting the elecraft test signal to set the meters BUT ... wait a minute.
Hi John, I have my 218 for sale on e-bay. I also have a 288 (6.3 MHZ 1.8 KHz) that I will be selling. Kd1e (at) adelphia (dot) net - Keith KD1E - --Original Message-- From: tentec-bounces@contesting.
Anyone do SKN? I got a total of 2.5 hrs operating time and make a handful of contacts using the Omni V.9 and my Nye Master straight key. I was quite surprised at the number of signals. Also surprised
I was tuning around yesterday p.m. and heard AA6E calling CQ. I was about to call (I like to work stations with those crazy 2x1 calls ending in E) but he didn't specify CQ SKN. I moved on. Ahhh, it w
Hey guys, Boy have I been having fun. My new-to-me Omni V.9 came with an Inrad 400 Hz filter and TT model 282 250 Hz filter. I already had a TT model 285 500 Hz filter. So of course I plugged 'em all
Hmmm, a Worked All Echos's. Better yet, Worked Every Eco - WEE! And if we do it QRP it would be QRP-Wee. I think I'll stop now ... 73 (Or is that 7E!) - Keith KD1E - --Original Message-- From: tentec
I'll take a guess and hope someone will be able to back it up. I believe the answer is yes with one possible restriction. IF (big if there) the 960 won't generate as much output as the 961, then you'
Yes, matching two tones can get you within a few Hz or less if you're careful. For years that was the way folks tuned guitars and other instruments. Strike the same note on two strings and tune one t
Hang on to those Inrad 2.8 filters! Why? Glad you asked ... I too have an Omni V (2 of 'em in fact). I've done a lot of A/B listening tests with the stock 2.4 vs 2.8 filters on SSB. This was done wit
