I am trying to reload the Orion 565 firmware - had repeated problems with the radio this past weekend, after years of stability. BUT, have changed computers over those years, so don't have the info a
That updater is not going to work with v2 firmware. Load the latest v3 firmware with it. Barry N1EU ** Nope, my original email said "I tried So, what now?
Thanks, Steve - That's the missing info - not in the manual, and missing from the TenTec site (that's the blank file). It reloaded the file, but the radio has the same symptoms. Terry N4TZ
Does anyone have a manual and/or schematic for the 9420 power supply (for the Hercules II amplifier)? There never was one on the old TenTec website. Terry N4TZ
My Hercules II was working but now.. On power up (with matching TenTec power supply) the front panel fault light comes on as does the fan. Waiting a few seconds, the red led fault light dims out and
The WinKey, http://k1el.tripod.com/wkusb_smt.html, provides programmable delay and hang time on CW with its PTT output. It will control 2 radios, if desired. In addition, contesting programs can dire
There are alternatives to drilling holes in the Orion series for a receiver loop. There is a receiver input already on the back panel. There is a spare RCA jack on the rear panel (many use it for LP-
The idea is as follows: (I have not removed the covers of my Orion to check this out) remove the coax that currently goes to the input of the RX board. Connect this coax to the spare connector on the
Hi Toshi The Orion 565 has an extra IF amplifier for the narrow 250 Hz Roofing filter, which adds noise. Testing reported in QST showed that the dynamic range was worse with the 250 Hz filter than wi
The Orion 565 (aka Orion I) uses 250 and 500Hz filters previously used in the Omni line. The Orion II 566 uses 300 and 600 Hz filters with lower loss and slightly different frequency so doesn't have
The 302 cane in different colors for the different rigs using them - Jupiter, Pegasus, Orion family The 302 has a keypad and function keys The 301 matches the Omni V and VI - no keypads/ function key

See http://www.tentecwiki.org/doku.php?id=filters My filters have the numbers 285 and 217 on them, as well as the stock code numbers Terry N4TZ i have several of these filters. can you tell me how to
The Orion has outputs for each band, and the Hercules II requires input data for each band. The only problem is that the logical senses are different. You just need to invert each of the signals from
I know that the Omni VI+ and Orion require hardware handshaking with the serial cable - I assume that the Orion II does as well. Did you do something to turn off handshaking in the computer? Many log
I had some major problems in the antenna systems this weekend (lightning) so spent some time comparing the main receiver in one of my Orions with the new RX366 subreceiver. With the big signals on 15
Unfortunately, Barry, the lightning problems I had earlier in the weekend caused me to forget to restart the recorder! But, the 'sizzling" sounds sounded to my ear just like the 'crackling' sounds yo
Yes, I tried the attenuator (up to 18dB) and it reduced but did not eliminate the crackling. But, the RX366 subreceiver in the same radio with the same settings (and no attenuator) had no signs of th
My RX366 arrived via USPS this Saturday afternoon - installed it and it seems to work FB! I need info about which TMP jack on the RX366 board is the IF out for the panadapter - I plan on using the SP
WIth the RX366 subreceiver installed and V3.025 firmware, when I try to enter 1.070 MHz into VFO B which is asssigned to the subreceiver, I get a Frequency Not Supported message on the LCD. On my oth
