Grant, are you on 1.366? I just repeated it again. I don't know whether to be glad or sad that you can't duplicate it. Glad I guess if it's just my Orion although I can't imagine why, sad if it is m
I have had good luck getting my issues fixed in the next revision or 2. The information you provided is exactly what they need. A specific setup that reproduces the problem. Step 1: describe the prob
I also sent my confirmation to ditsnbits. The track record on fixing show stopper problems when given good reproducible information has been excellent. Here is another one that I have informed them a
It's always been like that, although there was some improvement made in 1.364. I haven't fiddled with it much since the changes were made -- perhaps there's some optimal settings of aggressiveness f
Yes, I'm on 1.366. And I just tried it again several times after a master reset, and with different initial modes in the two receivers. Still won't fail as you described ... but that doesn't mean th
Hi, Have solved this small issue. Top of my Orion, just above the display area, would become very warm, nearly "hot" after a few hours operation. I have the fan Ten Tec sells to mount on the heat sin
I tried it. The only way I could duplicate the problem was to have the SUB RX set to VFO A when I started. If SUB RX is on VFO B, where mine stays, then I didn't see the problem. 73, Alan N5NA -- Ori
Hi Alan! Very good pickup - yes, if VFOB is connected to SUB RX at the time of power up, the bug I described does not occur. If, however, VFOB (and VFOA) are connected the MAIN RX, or if VFOB is not
Not exactly. The auto notch seeks and suppresses continuous tones. The noise reduction tries to identify the characteristic desired signal and separate it from background noise. I cannot think of any
What is gong on about this heat problem. If there is a heat problem for sure, I want to know about it, and I want to know what TT is going to do about it. Has anyone called TT about this? Thanks, Lee
Dn't think this is really a "problem" and probably the best thing to do is just be "cool" about -- :-) Any radio will get warm, even quite hot, after long periods of transmit. And it's why T-T has t

CQ Worldwide DX Contest, CW I'll write more about Orion later but thought you might like to see these early results. Scott W4PA had a very nice SOAB score (7.78M) operating NT1Y but I haven't seen th
Greetings from New Mexico, This past weekend I discovered that when using CT, band AND frequency changes made by inputting the new frequency in the call-sign area also cause the Orion to change to th
frequency the The Orion does not automatically change between LCW/UCW based on any band convention. It is what you set. I don't use CT, but it must be the control sequences sent by that program whic
Oh wow! What a write up. Have read through one time, now must do it again, hi. They tried it, and they liked it. 73, Jim KH7M _______________________________________________ Orion mailing list Orion
They did miss some fine points, though. I do agree with the point that the Orion is not a good choice as a beginners radio. It appeared the reviewer(s) really didn't mess with AGC controls much. Per
Has anyone tried the Orion as an IF for VHF / UHF transverters? I am wondering how well the receiver functions when you add the gain from antenna mounted preamps and the transverter as well? I posed
my orion emits into the left earphone a sound at the beginning of each code element while transmitting cw. the power level doesn't seem to matter. it's a popping or snapping sort of sound, not terrib
