Congrats Dave. You'll love the Orion II. I don't remember anything
like what you are describing when I had mine.

Hi All,
I recently acquired an Orion II and am getting used to it more each day.
I have two questions for any Orion users in the group.
#1- I am using the factory default settings for the AGC fast, medium and
slow values. Can anyone suggest any values that they use which may seem
better? Is there a tutorial on-line or a repository of AGC values
maintained anywhere for reference? I have not ventured into the
programmable AGC world yet with the Orion II
#2- In adjusting some… but not all menu values with the multi-knob
encoder, I find that it sometimes generates a bit of “flutter” in
between some value settings and seems a bit imprecise. Is this normal or
should I investigate replacing the multi-knob encoder at some point?
This Orion II is quite new dating to spring 2013 manufacture and was
back to TT in November of this year for a check out by them with nothing
noted by them in this regard. It’s not a biggie but I am curious if
others have noticed this phenomenon.
I came to the Orion II from the K3, which I still own and which I have
held as the benchmark for HF RX performance since 2008. But this
receiver is quite spectacular, very special and far more pleasing to my
ears. Who knew!?! Just a joy to use. Digital RX that sounds like
old-time analog RX. Well done TT!
Thanks for any input that can be given on my two questions above.
