Hi again Mike. I use an edger, myself, with a spool holder hose clamped to the handle. My number twelves generally do a good job of closing the trench behind the gadget. But I see no reason why a rea

Well - the manual is a little confusing, but actually the RED RCA jack goes to pin 5 of the AUX plug, and my manual says that's "for future assignment." White is to DIN pin 1, audio in from the sound

Actually, the S meter is probably dead on, S9 = 50 microvolts; and tracking properly all the way down to S2, with the meter sitting on S1 with no signal. That's where mine has been since day 1, but i

Well, before you get too drastic it might be a pregnant idea to sample that "right side audio" and see if that's really what you think it is. 73 Pete Allen AC5E -- Never squat with your spurs on ____

Actually, if you measure the current along an on-ground radial you will find there's virtually no current flowing in the radial much beyond the 1/10th wavelength point. And the current falls off even

Not to put too fine a point on it but at present all our radios consist of dedicated hardware with or without some form of computer control. So we still have dedicated RF amplifiers, mixers, IF strip

Spinach should be avoided along with rhubarb and all the other crops that generate oxalic acid. Most commercial radiator cleaners are largely oxalic acid and the residue eats H** out of your radials.

Yep, each version of the firmware has all the good stuff of previous versions, plus some improvements. Sometimes dramatic improvements, sometimes not. And yes, the sweep does seem a bit more frisky.

Hi Mark: As best I can tell by looking the sweep is in 250 Hz segments with bandwidth cranked down to 100 Hz. . That is, on the narrowest sweep range of 4.5 kHz there are just over two "digital block

Well, it seems to me that between those nice ground straps and the coax jumpers there are a lot of "one turn loops" that might well couple RF back to places it's neither wanted nor expected. And havi

Yes, the manual specifically says the PS should be on when the Orion is turned on. But how many of us will change the habits of a lifetime just because the manual says to do something? 73 Pete Allen
