Well,now, I think someone aught to wear a HEADSET and then you don't hear any damn clacking reed relays ...............

I only tried delaying one of the EXT TR relays and it made no
difference on the relay clacking - I didn't try delaying both of them.

Barry, if you delay those relays, they won't follow the cw keying and they won't clack.

Right, but he's asking specifically about the audible relay clacking.

On the Orion II:

If you go to:

MENUS , TX, there is an EXT T/T Delay1 (or Delay 2) and that

"provides "hang time" for non-QSK linear amplifier"



If you go to:

MENUS, CW, There is a CW QSK Delay that "Allows the operator to slow the QSK operation in CW transmit. A higher value represents more transmit/receive delay between individual transmitgted CW characters. This delay control also controls the deelay of the QSK amplifier keying loops and the delay set for outputs at AMP KEY 1 and AMP KEY 2. The default value is 20%."



The above is from my Orion II manual.



The part that is a bit vague to me is the default of 20% in the CW menu. I should think that a delay of 0% would be true QSK, similar to my Omni VI+, but I have no way to measure it. I'm sure that John Henry can teoll us what value to set to have the same performance as the older Omni VI, and Corsair II had.

Two relays?

That makes no sense at all.
One would think that it adjusts the hang time of the Linear's own relay, and therefore the Orion's internal relay would have to stop clacking.

There IS an EXT T/R Delay setting in the TX Menu but it has no effect
on the keying relay clacking.

Guys, I may be wrong, but I seem to remember that there were TWO adjustments; one for the relay and one for the RX recovery. It's been over 5 years since I have owned an Orion, but I'm pretty certain it was that way. In any case, it would have to be one of the items on the TX menu.

Correct Floyd, the CW delay makes the receiver audio quiet but does
nothing for the relay clacking in both the Orion and Orion II.

An interesting question. I wonder if the Orion and Orion 2 differ in
this respect. On my Orion 2, I can use the CW delay to achieve
semi-break-in, but I still hear the same relay clacking away. I
expected to hear the relay only at the beginning and end of a
transmission, but that's not the case - it still follows the keying,
although the receiver is properly muted for the delay set with the CW
delay function. So, maybe Toshimi's desire to eliminate the relay noise
is not satisfied this way.

Menus - CW - CW QSK Delay

start with 25% and increase/decrease as necessary

Hi Toshimi,

You can adjust the delay of the TR relay.
If you select a delay, then it is effectively semi BK and no longer QSK. This was added to the rig after the initial release so it probably was not
in the manual.
Maybe someone who owns an Orion can jump in and tell you exactly how to
adjust it. I have forgotten.

Subject: [TenTec] Orion's break in

Hi all. I am JE2UFF.

This month, I got the Orion of used one from US.

I just start operation with it. I can checked user manual, but not found.

So please tell me for everyone.
The Orion has semi break in mode? I have other rig. That's japanese one. Normaly, japanese transceiver has two kind of break in operation mode. It's
semi and full break in.

The Orion do the CW mode, each mores code can switch the relay. It is very
noisy. Is this normal specs?

If it has semi break in mode then the relay can switch for start and finish
of two times. Very quaiet.

Thanks all
