Jeff, I dont think this is legal. The tool that is better would be a multielement yagi or quad on a tower using a rotator. Im not trying to be snippy here but tying up two meter repeater resources al
Jason, I went in to make the mod and discovered that the existing capacitor was 2.2mfd. The serial #reveals a Jan. 01 mfgr. date. That's only a few months after they started making the Jupiter. Ill b
Not only different, but unique in its implementation of various digital applications within its design. While the jury may still be out on its superiority, its a solid platform for all the traditiona
Dennis, You need to have a watt meter that you can depend on. The available third party wattmeters are only as accurate as they claim to be. So, underpower your first transmissions and let the relati
Dave, Let me prognosticate that there is a close by AM broadcast station that's overloading your front end, desensing it to the point where you are getting distortion accross the 160 band. Even thoug
The Cons of the Ten Tec Orion: 1. No Color Sreen. 2. No handle. 3. Key Jack on front panel. 4. No PTT 5. No free mic. , antenna tuner, fan or seperate sevice manual. 6. No art deco faceplate. 7. No f
Im hearing a relay in the Jupiter following my CW keying only when using my Centurion amplifier. Is this normal? I don't hear any such relay noise barefoot nor in any other mode using the amp. In CW,
David, Yes, however there are some well documented things to work around when you make a transition. I had the 570 DG and have the Jupiter. Your efforts will be rewarded by controls that work unlike
Good Gravy, The Volvo comment got more attention than it was meant to produce. My ham friend who is to remain nameless lives in the Pacific NW. Up here Volvos seem the car of choice due to the rainy
The 301 is just an optical encoder and all it did was serve as an external tuning knob with the Omni V and VI and VIplus. The RS 232 on the rear panel provided the interface for this accessory. There
John, I was hoping there was a way to do it. I have a 301 and an Omni 6/opt1 and am vy happy with it. I also have a Jupiter, but want only to remotely tune the rig w/o any other function.
Are the Jupiter's close in specs anywhere published? How does it compare with the VI and the Orion? Curious minds want to know! Gee, for a single conversion IF, the K2 is certainly pushing the envelo
Duck it. Or not. There's a marvelous world of cleaning chemicals out there that will do the job. I sell them during the day. I use them at night, on my equipment. They work. Rather than conduct a thr
A tuner can be used to peak signal and noise by using the controls on the tuner. Something called a Tuner tuner by palomar comes to memoryas well. There are a number of common sense ways to peak your
Not there. We are lead to believe that the swept BDR and IMD are half that of the Main Rx on the Orion! There must be a 'rest of the story' there. I have both the Omni 6+ and the Jupiter and have to
Why you may want to reconsider buying the Orion: 5. W4PA took two Orions to Vegas one weekend giving new meaning to the terms SO2R, focus transfer and fast AGC. 6. I found out that the Orion was real
The mod is made simply by tacking one end of a very short wire to one side of the diode and then tacking the same wire, but the other end of it, to the other side of the diode effectively bypassing t
I use the proc. on my Omni 6 plus opt.1 full time at 12 o'clock. I vary the mic. gain depending on band and desired results. Noone has had a problem with my audio, just the opposite, I get unsolicite
