[Dx4win] Frequency problems with Ten-Tec Orion (I/II)

[Kjell W. Strom]

Maybe because K stands for a factor 1024 in computerese? Just a
guess.

Perplexing, but not exactly a major problem.  Why should we have
Mega and kilo?  Where's the standardization in that?

Jim,



Sorry, cannot help with the Ten-Tec question, but why capital K

for the kilo prefix? The world-wide SI standard is "kHz", not

"KHz". The same goes for the azimuth/distance field. It must be

"km", not "Km".

I was working on converting my father's log to DX4WIN8 

format. I found some strange frequencies in his log in the 

"Notes for this QSO" field:



  80m:    0/24KHz

  15m:    0/22KHz

  15m:    0/34KHz



The last one of the above "flavor" seems to have been made on 

2007/03/05:



  40m:    0/6KHz



Then they start with a different syndrome on 2007/09/22, the 

first one is:



  40m:    0/7,009KHz

  60m:    0/404KHz (probably should be 5404KHz)

  17m:    0/18,103KHz



The 1st and 3rd definitely look like they should have been 

split frequency QSOs, but "VFO-A" (or whatever it's called in

    

Ten-Tec

  

parlance) read back as 0.



Has anyone running a Ten-Tec Orion seen this problem?  It 

looks to be sporadic, so it's probably hard to debug.  And he 

upgraded to an Orion II, which may have happened some time in 

2007, based on the way the error syndrome changed.
