It would be nice to have a feature where you could save all the settings on the PC so that they could be quickly restored after a master reset. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas
Alan & crew, The Orion I had over this past weekend to play around in the SS worked quite well despite a few glitches. This rig has bounced around the country a lot, and I think all the jolts have ca
Nope - in some testing I did when I first got my Omni VI+ the reports I got were that the speech processor was very natural and sounded great, so I always use it. But then I'm always chasing DX with
Ha, ha, ha - the HC4 clips the audio. I have yet to hear one that I'd pay anything for. I find their audio piercing and less intelligible than practically any other microphone. (Go ahead, turn me in
My short answer, following the CW SS a couple of weekends ago (my first contest operating an Orion) was that there was no signal outside the DSP passband that appeared to present anything I could hea
I wonder how many will want to cough up the $7,000 - 8.000 it is presumed to cost. Especially when we hear all the comments about the price of the Orion at less than half of that! 73, Duane -- Duane
Hi Pete, I still hear my neighbor's TS-570 because he transmits phase noise for about +/- 100 kHz that I have no problem hearing with either my Omni VI+ or the Orion. Wish he'd buy an Orion! But, hey
" Buck, you sound pretty to me." <-- Hey, none of that on this reflector! 73, Duane :-) -- Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas http://home.austin.rr.com/ac5aa
Other loggers that support Orion are: DX4WIN, WriteLog, and N1MM. I've tried them all, and use DX4WIN every day (super award-chasing software!) 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas
Paul, I think you'll be very happy with the 500 + 250 Hz filters cascaded. That's the setup in my VI+ and it works very well. (My other 9MHz slot has the 500Hz RTTY offset filter.) 73, Duane Duane Ca
Yes, it's pretty easy. Plus, there are a couple of guys who create and distribute (free) updated IOTA and Country lists in addition to what is distributed with the software. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, A
When I first go the Orion, my Heil ProSet (HC5 "natural" element) wouldn't drive it unless I ran the mic gain at 9. Later, after doing a master reset to clear what may have been an operator error, th
I'd love to try the Orion on the CW SS this weekend, but I don't see anything listing whether WriteLog supports the Orion. Does anyone have this combination running? Does an ICOM definition work? 73,
Have they determined that it also causes the "fuzz" sound on the CW sidetone as well? I suspected these were monitor problems, but had no way to confirm. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas
How about just doing the $15 INRAD mod that doesn't involve filter changes, but tries to eliminate some of the passband ripple? I have the kit, but haven't installed it yet. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, A
Thanks, Bob - I never knew what the "blah-blah" button was for until now! 73, Duane -- Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas http://home.austin.rr.com/ac5aa
Tim, Shhh! Don't tell anyone! The Omni has been the secret of us TT users for a long time. If you ever contest, it will blow you away with its selectivity also, assuming you have the 500 Hz and/or 25
