Gentlemen,
I believe I've found a condition that will reliably cause the Panoramic Stereo
to always fail.
Procedure:
1) Have the main receiver working properly on some signal with Panoramic Stereo;
I use LCW but it should work for LCW, UCW, USB, and LSB, at least
2) Hit the "Sub RX" button, which is at about 10 o'clock relative to the VFO B
knob.
3) Hit the MODE button
4) Select AM or FM (this is what the sub-receiver mode will be)
Wellah!
If you were listening to a signal with Panoramic Stereo, it will now be
permanently
disabled until you recall a USER setting that restores Panoramic Stereo. There
may
be other ways to restore it, but I managed to get it working once, and saved it
to
USER 1, and ever since, when it goes out of Panoramic Stero, I can get it back
by
hitting my USER 1 key.
So, could you guys please see if my "recipe" for disabling Panoramic Stereo
works on
your radios? (Be sure to save your "good" settings into USER 1 and/or USER 2
before)
I'm using the latest s/w release.
If so, I'll report it to Ten-Tec.
Thanks! -Mike K3MC
p.s. Thanks, Ron, for the tips. Gotta try 'em out!
