I am a new Orion owner after having bought a used unit last week. The unit was just repaired and upgraded with the latest hardware changes about three weeks ago. All seems to be working well except a
It took a master reset. Don't understand why the problem arose in the first place. I was copying CW on 30M when all of a sudden the problem appeared. Finally decided on trying a master rest after hav
Rich, thanks for your confirmation that this is a known problem and that a master reset eliminates it. BTW, the problem resurfaced last night about 60 minutes after I had tried the reset. I have not
Just as a follow up to my previous posting and consistent with other reports, there is no doubt that turning the Sweep function on does bring up the problem. The received note becomes raspy, the nois
My previous postings attributing my Orion's raspy received CW note and other symptoms to software origins were dead wrong. I had previously agreed with others that the problem arose when the sweep fu
I am in the midst of comparing my vintage MP vs. my Orion, but I am reluctant to make any final conclusions until I'm confident that I've mastered the proper use and interactions associated with the
OK, Merle. Frankly, I believe your assessment regarding adjacent frequency strong signal QRM and I was coming to the same conclusion on CW I was reluctant to say anything until I did more fiddling an
OK, Chas. I already commented to an earlier respondent with a similar opinion, but I wanted to mention a couple more things things. I have installed all of the available roofing filters in my Orion.

Bob, thanks for your help. I presume that you have two amps and that's why you're using both ext t/r relays? I was using settings similar to yours except I was using 100% QSK delay and 20% amp ext t/
I've had a happen a couple of times and it seems quite unpredictable. It usually happens after I've been transmitting QRO, and I've assumed it was RF, but not really certain. 73, Joe Kamar wrote: Wel
OK, Carl. That's the way I understand the operation of the converter in conjunction with the Orion. I have copied Paul at tenTec on this so that they are aware of the problem. Paul, you will see from
Back a couple of months ago, I had received some info from one or two folks who were using DEM transverters with the Orion. Unfortunately, I had multiple HD crashes and lost the info and the IDs of t
I have routinely settled on -15 dB RX EQ setting for all modes. I suspect the fact that my high frequency hearing is going has a lot to do with it. 73, Joe Bill Tippett wrote: K3NA wrote: settings. I
I have been using a DEMI 6M transverter with the Orion. Although I am having a minor problem with it, which may lie in the transverter and not the Orion, it is working quite well. I recently picked u
Bob, I watch my Orion's transmitted audio carefully on a scope and I run the mike gain wide open using the TT studio mike or a Heil dual cartridge (4/5) mike, and I never come close to flat topping.
I have read references to interactions between the AGC and the NR settings on the Orion, but they seemed general and did not specify exactly what was observed. This weekend I was working 80M in the t
Rein and Sinisa, thanks for your interest. I didn't look the S-meter when I was experiencing the problem and it seemed to me that the noise did not increase in proportion to the NR setting. I have ob
Gary, thanks for your input. What you describe may be a part of what I am seeing. Last night I was on 30M and I set the threshold at an acceptable noise level and then activated the NR. It seemed tha
I have actually delayed the installation of the 1.372 firmware in my attempt to isolate the source of the AGC/NR interaction which I have described previously. Unfortunately, there seems to be no ide
