Yes, and the peak to peak available output from an Orion, about 13 volts p-p, should produce head banging volume in virtually any headphone if working properly, even the old "cans" from the 1930's. Y
No, it does not. The issue you now describe will require that I look at the schematic tonight and get back to you. Sent from my iPad _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing lis

I sure agree with you 100% on this Barry! The 1.8 KHz only kicks in when you narrow the passband bandwidth of the DSP to less than 1.8 KHz anyway so the bandwidth of the Inrad will not even be notice

You do need to hinge the panel down but this is pretty easy to do with an Omni 6 or paragon. Gary _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://list

The Orion uses a separate LM386 for each channel of the headphone line. Thus it is unlikely either of these is faulty is it is unlikely they would both fail in the same manner. In addition, your side

Yes. There are no long shafts on this radio so the hinging process is actually very easy. Gary _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.c

I like the response regarding changing the resistors but am somewhat concerned that your side tone will be too loud to the point where it is damaging to your hearing. Also, you had said originally th

I did not realize that the Inrad filters were not shielded. Thanks for the info. Also, not being 8 pole, I also wonder why one would pay extra for one. Gary __________________________________________

It remains a complete mystery to me why we do not have 3 phase power in all homes (as suggested by Tesla). With three phase poser, rectified DC power supplies could operate with virtually no filter c

3-phase power is not the universal blessing that you believe it to be. Well, I dont really think I said it was the universal blessing. I just said that there is a reason why 3 phase power is used in
