- I just spent a week operating as KH6/G3JAG and was obliged to choose very quickly between using an Orion (I) or an FT1000MP, never having used either before. No time to play - just get on with operat

- Whilst the xyl was out I got the 9420 into the kitchen and took a peek inside. One of the 14v rails is very dead - the wires at the terminals of one 47,000 mfd capacitor look as if they have been run

- I have an unused #311 and the interface cable to connect it to a 565 Orion. I got it to interface an Orion to a Hercules II (420) and/or to the 253 auto-ATU, but as I never got the Orion, I have neve

- Note also that band switching is done with reed relays. Check that the 40m band pass filter board ones are not stuck, or the coils open circuit. (I am just replacing K1 and K2, because of an intermit

- The bulbs in my Hercules II were overly bright. I added a wire wound resistor in series. End of problem. Note that the standard 9420 PSU has limited capacity for running dial lights as well as the po

- Agreed that the N4PY chip makes a big difference. The Omni-V is a great radio and with a revised (working) computer interface and a few INRAD filters, it becomes a splendid radio. I have a Elecraft K

- Good answer Jim.. There is or there was an offer over here of a very hefty switch mode and a couple of those would do the trick very nicely, but I don't want to risk the noise - if I can avoid it. Th
