That's right. The bottom line is that in the Omni VI, the audio is always routed to the DSP, which acts as a high pass filter to roll off everything below about 300 Hz. You can't turn this function
Dear Clickless, With all due respect, isn't that the same Omni that suffered from "microchirp" a couple of years ago? Isn't that the same Omni that was 20 Hz off frequency? Isn't that the same Omni t
What's worse than the new model that still doesn't work right? It's when only *certain radios* of the new model don't work right. In that sense, what we have is the worst possible case, because it su
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like the 7 kHz AM audio response (14 kHz wide DSP filter) in the TS-870. Now *that's* really beautiful AM reception. Just the same, sounds like a grea
And Gene, not only is your Astron quiet, but it is also RF quiet, too. No matter what anybody says, all switching mode power supplies put out RF noise. Some guys don't know what it sounds like, so t
Would someone who has successfully connected an Omni VI to an Ameritron amplifier equipped with the internal QSK-5PC board be willing to contact me off the list? I want to know how you connected the
Hi, Steve, I believe I know why the previous owner did that to your Omni VI. (And I'm assuming you care!) Last night I made some measurements of the TX Enable signal on the back panel of the Omni VI.
Tommy wrote this: Tommy has written the above. And also this: But of course, speed is the issue. Speed has always been the issue whenever the subject of QSK has come up on this reflector. Tommy is th
Yes, Steve, this is immensely helpful to the readers of this list. I've always felt that the seventeen of us have been talking about seventeen radically different ideas of QSK, and you have definite
Well, then, if the radio must *wait* until the amp is ready, then by definition this is degraded QSK compared to the transceiver alone. My question is *how much* is it degraded? Al W6LX
Hi, Duane. Well, you've got an interesting point. If it's a fixed value, then as my CW speed increases, the relay delay time becomes a bigger and bigger percentage of my inter-dit time, and at some
Fine. I couldn't really care less what the Orion can or can't do. I think you should get rid of that thing. Yeah, I think that's part of my point. Even some of the replies to this thread obviously h
Tommy, this has nothing to do with whether I believe that you did something or not! Whenever I've doubted, I was doubting only the practical usefulness of something, not questioning whether you did
Tommy, I never understand you. You start off by dismissing the 'figure of merit' concept, then you conclude by giving various figures of merit for various amplifiers! I'll take the latter and pretend
Hi, Mike, Understand that confusion arises here because one must address the question, At what *speed* can you hear between the characters?, which you have not done. If I can hear between the charac
No, not necessarily true. Normally a blanket statement like this wouldn't bother me at all, but to say that "Any tuner will get hot and consume a large percentage of your RF power" demands a little
