    Page 8 Front Panel Controls 10 11 1. RF Gain (RFG or Radio Frequency Gain). This control overrides the automatic gain control (AGC) of the Receiver’s Intermediate Fre- quency (IF) amplifiers. In its CW (clockwise) position, the AGC has full control over the gain. As you rotate the control counter clockwise (CCW), it reduces the available gain.
  • Page 9 Page 9 the stereo Line In jack on the back panel is fed to the speakers, and the internal receiver is fed only to the right speaker. This allows you to listen to one receiver in each ear. In order to feed a mono source such as a receiver to the left channel only, you must connect the left channel to the external receiver but not the right.
  • Page 10 Page 10 14.Proc/CW Spot. In SSB mode, this button activates the RF speech pro- cessor. In CW mode, this button disables the transmitter and allows the keyer (internal or external) to be used as a SPOT control. To use this function, press the key and turn the Pitch control (20) until the sidetone frequency matches that of the received signal.

  • Page 14: Basic Operation

    CW buffer usage REMOTE CONTROL If your Sienna has no front panel, all functions are accessed via the RS-232 port, for which a simple terminal emulator program such as Hy- perterm can be used. More elaborate programs are available, such as Ham Radio Deluxe or DXLab Suite, that are compatible with multiple ra- dios.
  • Page 15 Page 15 SPLIT functions and a dial lock function. Keyer controls allow complete access to the keyer, including QSK (full break-in) operation, dot and dash weighting, volume, speed and pitch. The pitch control along with the SPOT control (in the transmitter con- trol section) is also useful for zero-beating signals on CW.

  • Page 17 FIRMWARE UPDATES A utility program is provided on the flash drive included with all kits called “Megaload”. Install it, then connect Sienna’s RS-232 port to the computer. Run Megaload, putting the “sienna_rev_xxxxx.hex” file in the top box. If the EEPROM data also needs updating, put the “sienna_rev_xxxxx.eep”...

  • Page 19 As data is downloaded to Sienna, the page number of the binary file is reported in the Messages box. If no EEPROM file is specified, the mes- sage “No eeprom file… Open file first!” appears in the Status box. If you chose not to download it, this is OK.

  • Page 20: The Receiver

    The small downside to this is that narrow filters cannot be used at 70.455 MHz because they would be very expensive. Sienna uses a 4.5 kHz roofing filter standard, which provides excellent performance when combined with the many filters available at the 2nd and 3rd IF.
  • Page 21 Page 21 Major receiver functions include: Frequency (including “band”, VFO’s within a band, incremental tuning, memory usage, split mode, tuning rate, resolution) Mode (AM, CW, SSB, etc.) IF Filter selection (at both the 2nd and 3rd IF) IF Shift (at both the 2nd and 3rd IF) Noise Blanker IF Notch filter Preamp, Attenuator and Passive Signal Boost™...

  • Page 25 Page 25 also change the mode by pressing the MENU button, rotating the large knob until the mode is highlighted and then change it by turning the small tuning knob. Receiver Incremental Tuning (RIT) [RC, RD, RT, RU] RIT (and transmit incremental tuning, XIT, discussed in the transmit- ter section) is typically used for three purposes: 1.
  • Page 26 Leave the blanker off when not in use. Selecting antennas [AR, AN] Sienna is equipped with two main antennas, A and B, and one Receive- only antenna. The main antennas are routed through the low pass fil- ters and the solid-state transmit/receive switch on the transmitter or the 100W amplifier if it is installed.
  • Page 27 The attenuator is most often needed for strong, local AM broadcast stations. Sienna is equipped with a very good Automatic Gain Control system, but some operators prefer direct control over the gain. To disable the AGC, enter the main menu and select AGC-Off [GT]. Then use the RF gain control to reduce the gain of the receiver manually.
  • Page 28 On CW, 250 Hz or 400 Hz filters work remarkably well. Another choice is to use wider filters with steeper “skirts” (lower shape fac- tors). For example, Sienna comes with a 4-pole SSB filter that is 2400 Hz wide. You can remove that one and install a 10-pole filter in its place.
  • Page 29 Page 29 you can select position 8 (the “birdcage”) and shift the 1st IF back and forth 50 Hz per click. This often eliminates the occasional inter- nally generated spurious mixing product (“birdie”) without bothering the received signal noticeably. On CW, you can select either the upper or lower sideband on which to listen to the signal.
  • Page 30 The DUAL button is only part of the story though. You also need fre- quency tracking, a way to share one antenna, and mute during transmit. In order for the master Sienna to program the frequency of the slave, the RS-232 output of the master must be connected to the RS-232 of the slave.
  • Page 31 You can also allow a slave Sienna to mute itself while the master is transmitting. To do this, connect the LRXENO (Low-true, Receive Enable Output) of the master to the LRXENI (Input) of the slave. This is an open collector output with a 10K pullup resistor to the internal 5V supply, loaded on the RXBPF board.

  • Page 34 Page 34 Balanced Microphone and Unbalanced Line inputs The audio amplifier section of Sienna’s transmitter consists of compo- nents that have very low total harmonic distortion (THD < .01%) and no crossover distortion (which means there is no glitch when audio sig- nals cross 0V going positive or negative).
  • Page 35 Although USB and LSB are commonly used for transmitting digital data, Sienna has a special digital mode available, called DIGUSB and DIGLSB. These settings use the same information that is used when the mode is USB or LSB, respectively, but also override the selected Tx Audio and PC Audio menu settings to use Tx Audio = Line.
  • Page 36 QSK (full break-in) difficult. The transmitter section of Sienna is completely independent of the re- ceiver. When you select main antenna A or B, however, you force Sienna to operate in half-duplex mode, since the antenna, the transmitter’s low pass filters and the transmit/receive (T/R) switch become shared components.
  • Page 37 QSK on CW possible. Turnaround time from transmit to re- ceive is only 10 ms, about half the length of a dit at 60 wpm. Sienna can thus “hear between the dits” at up to about 70 wpm. A circuit in...
  • Page 38 SSB at 14.2 MHz and listen on CW at 14.04 MHz, split mode is what should be used. Sienna has two main VFOs for use in split mode. VFO B is only used in Split mode operation, and in that mode, it is always the transmit fre- quency.
  • Page 39 6M amplifier. Transmitter Incremental Tuning (XIT) [XC, XD, XT, XU] Sienna is equipped with a XIT function and a RIT function. RIT changes the receiver frequency and XIT changes the transmit frequency. The clear button [XC] clears the XIT offset, making the transmit and re- ceive frequencies the same.

  • Page 42: External Amplifiers

    Page 42 External amplifiers Sienna’s antenna A or B connectors can be connected to an external linear amplifier. Other connections are via the ALC phono connector and 8-pin DIN connector on the back panel.
