Ok, Ok... dB = 20 log (v2/v1) It was early...not enough caffeine, and I swagged instead of calculating. To make matters worse, at some point I switched from dBm to dBv. DUH. Thanks to all who reminde

S9 is 50 uV in Orion. calibrated in dBm? No, AGC Threshold is set in uV and ranges from 0.37 uV to 192 uV. AGC Threshold is the most unusual aspect of Orion since we've never had anything like it bef

I found exactly the same thing during my first extended operating time with the Orion during the recent CQ160 contest. I realized immediately that the 3uV default AGC threshold value is way too low f

We've been enjoying "AGC Treshold" for many decades, although we didn't use the name until the recent marketing breakthroughs :-) AGC threshold determines the point above which AGC loop is operationa

The Orion sure sounds like a FB receive rig to me. I am still using the trusty FT-1000MP, but with some exciting modifications for topband reception. Using a SCAF-1 audio filter with two back-to-bac

Two diodes back to back in front of a receiver is'nt that a bit of a simple? My first thought in this case goes to a " Fourier series Delight ". Must be hard to correct by a audio filter. What say ?

Two diodes back-to-back in front of all the filters would absolutely kill reception if the signals were limited in the diodes! The IM and general "crud" would be horrible. A soft limiter after the f

That being said, how hard would it be to find the Orion AGC parameters that would cause the exact same AGC characteristics as the R4C? 73, Tim K3LR _______________________________________________ Top

If all signals entering the antenna input of a receiver were weak signals, including noise, then receiver specs would be of little concern. Audio gain could be turned wide open for easy copy. Presie

What I find better is 10dB signal = 10dB audio change at noise floor becoming 10dB=1dB or less audio change at some higher level. It gets rid of the "mush" or blend of signals and noise when the noi
