It's apparently getting close. Check the T-T website for new specs and photos. But no delivery date yet. Grant/NQ5T _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesti
I hoping this gets fixed. The T-T engineer I exchanged a couple of emails with some time ago on this subject expressed surprise that it did not work on AM/FM modes. There are some other functions th
You can alsways manually select the 20Khz roofing filter in the filter menu. In any case, the skirts of the roofing filters are relatively broad. Certainly need more DSP receive bandwidth for AM. Ev

Frankly, that's hard to understand. If the AGC "seems to fast", slow it down. I assume this is an Orion II you're talking about. Set HANG at about 0.2-0.3 seconds, and decay rate at 5-7 dB in SLOW.
Maybe they're just low because the operators actually believe the 16 digits of precision they get from their calculators when they divide 1.2 by the sgrt of 47, and likewise believe the digital dial
I already have the GPS stabilized frequency standard. But you're right that the hard part is "the rest" :-) Grant/NQ5T _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@cont
Me? Foolish. I've never done or said a foolish thing in my life (That's the understatement of 2007!) :-) Grant/NQ5T Orion 565 -- just plain super dooper Orion 566 -- almost as good :-) Maybe the nex
With apologies to the list .. Natan .. I've responded twice on this filter, both times -- each time you've posted it for sale -- to your private email rather than clutter the list. In both cases I re
Another undesirable side effect is that the pulse stretching can have significant negative impact on the effectiveness of the NB. Grant/NQ5T _______________________________________________ TenTec ma
Happens all the time. There were a lot of Drake 7-line parts made available when Drake closed the ham business. Those used to show up quite often, and I bought a bunch of stuff for a rainy day. But
It depends. Do you need a blanker, or DSP noise reduction? Or both? Both work well (although there are different opinions on this). Frankly, the only way to know for sure is to try it. The good thing
That's been discussed here before. Not unique at all to the Orion. When many people were modifying the 1st IF filters in the Darake R-4C, this effect reared its ugly head. Too narrow a filter there
Buy an NC-183D or an SX-28. Or an R-390, if you must (with something like an Eico HF-20 for audio). Nothing plays SWBC like a pair of 6V6's in P-P. And you get the "glow" to go along with it. Kiddin
Actually, I didn't say it did. Reread my comment (included below) about the Eico HF-20, which is actually a pair of 6L6s. The HF-20 would be connected to the diode load on the 390 or 390A. The SP-60
There must be two things out there I haven't experienced ... 1. An email inbox that causes room litter, ear wax, food particles on the kitchen floor, and dust bunnies when it has items in it I don't
It only counts if you actually BUILD IT yourself. "Building" is distinct from the act of hooking somebody else's stuff together :-) Grant/NQ5T _______________________________________________ TenTec
That has to do with the problem any noise reduction algorithm on anybody's radio faces in attempting to determine what is signal and what is noise. As the signal gets weaker, relative to the noise,
I said nothing about how it works in some absolute sense. I'm happy you have radios where the NR does wonderful things, and glad you can have the choice of which radio to select for a particular set
As an afterthought, I'll be happy -- if someone would provide one or both of these two radios -- to replicate the tests I ran on the Orion I/II regarding Nr driven improvement in SNR vs. receive ban
