The vertical axis is time, about 30 seconds per division. You see approximately two complete playbacks of the 1 minute mp3. 73 Martin AA6E On your graph Martin, is the vertical axis time? If so, how
It is true that the number of A/D bits is not always the critical number. High-end audio gear sometimes uses 1-bit D/A coverters, for example, clocked at a very high rate. That avoids the nonlinearit
Try to transmit into a dummy load. If it's your DC connection (as suggested by others), your "white screen" should show up. Your DC current draw might be higher when feeding an antenna with VSWR > 1.
Aha. Well, then there might be something resonant at 80 M that is producing a high voltage at the rig. You could try disconnecting everything from the rig, except the antenna coax. (Grounds, mic cord
I have found that v2 firmware has poorer keyclick results than v1 on my Orion. It's not just a question of rise time, but the shaping (raised cosine) of the wave -- gradual transitions at start and f
What's "wrong" is that they haven't done it. If TT offered a good OCXO option at a reasonable price, that would be fine. The TCXO they use is disappointing compared some other rigs - like the IC-7000
Very good 10 MHz OCXOs are available on the hamfest circuit for ~$40, fix tuned. It's frustrating to have one of these but not be able to use it as the Orion reference. 73 Martin AA6E Note that speci
The Orion is just fine for PSK31 as far as I've ever experienced. That is, as long as you fine tune the signal - with the computer or using the VFO. If you were only allowed to listen on a spot frequ
Ron, Just to confirm, I would be interested in a high-stability reference oscillator for the Orion. (I have the original Orion, which hopefully would use the same parts as the Orion II.) I can see se
Agreed these are good articles. But they are "concepts", and they may or may not tell us what is inside the actual v1 Orion as delivered, let alone v2. In my view, TT would do well to explain the DSP
Joel, The first requirement for working at League HQ must be having a really thick skin! You can't win no matter what you do or don't do -- at least for some vocal folks. Let's all take a deep breath
Right. I was once trying to raise a DX op, when he said something like - "negative copy OM, your audio has too much bass". I adjusted to ~260 Hz Tx rolloff and ~2400 Hz bandpass, and raised him with
Due to the kind generosity of Ken, W8KEB, I have been able to use my Orion I with PSK31. It has been pointed out to me by N7GVV that the table in Figure 4-6 on page 43 of the Orion Operator's Manual
I suppose you tried the "give it a kick" method? It could be a loose connection... Sorry for the misfortune! 73 Martin AA6E Pfizenmayer wrote: Think you are probably right Carl - at least hopefully -
Logging: I desperately need a Linux logging program! I tried to install LiHaLo but am not that good at MySQL. Using StarOffice Calc's spreadsheet, I relied on "autocomplete" as a dup checker... it us
I see they finally figured out that black-on-black POWER / PHONES / KEY / MIC wasn't so good on the Orion. The new Omni has readable labels! It will be interesting to see what kind of firmware troubl
