If I'm remembering my conversation with Gary at Dayton correctly, one of the boards inside the Orion II will be replaced with a new board that contains the new "high speed sweep" design. It will have
If your MP has not been modified to fix the "noise blanker always on" problem, this will be an issue. This has been a problem in several of the Yaesu high-end radios since the FT-1000D or so, if memo

I think what you're looking for is "black Dacron rope" which, unlike nylon, does not stretch, and does not break down nearly as quickly due to ultraviolet in sunlight. It's available in several diame
John, I can't tell you for sure, but I think the device driver for running CW may be an issue with Vista. On second thought, I don't know that the Orion's serial link has CW keying available on it, d
I think he was looking for someone who is keying the Orion through the serial cable that connects a COM port directly to the rig. I still don't know that this can be done, though someone posted that
Proprietary software is "non-value added?" I think we need to start discussions here with definitions. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com --Original Message-- From: tentec-boun
But aren't comparisons of "open source" code using Linux as a reference a bit flawed? Who will be the agency who approves the code module changes to an Orion (for example) if this were to be the path
"Hands off perspective?" My perspective is a bit different. This is one of the most "hands on" reflectors I've ever been on. Go back and read all the Omni VI and VI+ threads from a few years back. Ju
Yes, I haven't dug into it much, but I think this is another victim of the AGC changes in the version 2 FW. I'll have to reload 1.372 (or beta) to remind myself - I thought the bandscope was very use
Exactly - zero beat is when the "beat note" between the two tones goes to zero Hertz. Hence, zero beat. Musicians know all about this when they tune their instruments. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA A
Merv - only one of the first IF filters can be engaged at a time - N1 or N2 - not both. (Maybe that isn't what you were asking...) 73, Duane Clark, appreciate hearing you results, do you engage it wi
Jeff, I have sometimes had the same experience. It seems to me that when you use a very narrow filter in noisy conditions, and assuming the filter is not ringing, making things worse, what you end up
The fan is not what is noisy - or at least, is not the root cause of the noise. The cause is that close proximity of the intake of the fan to the slots on the side of the cabinet. You could try slowi
Nope, it's a bug! Even Lincoln would have agreed. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com --Original Message-- From: tentec-bounces@contesting.com [mailto:tentec-bounces@contesting.
Most rigs DO have a "Split" annunciator. Doesn't seem to help! 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com I do like all of these new things. If all DX'ers had that new SPL feature ther
It was only a beta release, never made it to full release. Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com They don't. It is not an "official" release (for some odd reason). http://members.cox.net/wc
Orion II? I don't know - I have an Orion I. My friend has a II and it works better with the Ver 2 firmware than what I've experienced on the Orion I on ver. 2, so I don't know what to suggest. I like
