I asked Gary Barbour at TenTec the same questions a while back. In sweep mode, the Jupiter firmware does bypass the AGC and it would be possible to add that mode (AGC off) as a setting for use with
The FlexRadio has an advantage over the Pegasus / Jupiter in that the Tayloe detector produces both an I (in-phase) and Q (quadrature) signal which are fed to the two channels of a stereo sound card.
more of Not necessarily, the software could compensate. I'm envisioning a setup where the software does frequency analysis of the incoming data (i.e. FFT) - similar to what is done in a PSK31 "Water
The way the upgrade to the AT-11MP works is pretty slick. It remembers any setting of relays for which it found a match (I assume in some sort of FIFO buffer -so that as it remembers a new setting,
I recently bought (and subsequently sold) a 1990's vintage Diawa automatic high power ( 1 kW ) auto tuner. This thing tuned using rotary components rather than relays. At any rate, it would match my
I can hear the relays chattering on my Icom 746 Pro when I first turn it on, but they are much quieter than I remember from my tuner'ed Orion. I have noticed that my 746 Pro seems to 'remember' the
That's assuming you are in full automatic mode. In this mode the tuner detects RF and a high SWR and tunes. I'm used to using radios where you can invoke a tune cycle by pushing a TUNE button. Befor
Would some Orion owners check out this and confirm (or refute) what I see? I understand the operation of the TUNE button is that when you push it, the Orion puts out approximately 40w for tuning. You
I was going with what my Orion's meter said. The only external meter I used was the one in my external antenna tuner and I'm pretty sure that that needs to be recalibrated. I was only using the ante
I just made my first CW QSO with the Orion where I ran full (100w) power. I noticed that at the beginning of a transmission, the meter would peg as I could hear it hitting the stop. It quickly droppe
Bob, Thanks for the confirmation. I was running barefoot. The old SB-220 isn't set up for QSK. I did notice that the display on the Orion also dimmed. I am using an Astron 35 amp supply, so I don't t

Congrats on the new Orion. I purchased a demo unit for the same reason (one was in stock when the XYL said go ahead). If you didn't already do it, contact TenTec and ask for a copy of the Jupiter / O

I didn't check out eBay - that price is within the realm of reason. If you are talking about just putting a relay in the 12 VDC line, that has the problem that the Peg or Jupiter doesn't like to have
Duane, I hadn't seen the emphasis on "station". I thought it referred to "service". Good point about common carrier lines and RF. I think that's a big concern that I hadn't really considered. Part 15

Dave, Thanks for the info - very interesting... You mention the difference in warm up between AT and SC cut crystals. Does anyone know which type of crystal is used in the OXCO Omni VI's? 73, Mark
