What's the story? How come there aren't more reviews of the Orion on eHam and more chatter here? I only count 12 reviews and surely more than that have been sold. I am interested in this radio but wo
I still want to know why there are so few Orion reviews on eHam. I put a lot more credence in eHam (not individual reviews but the consensus) than a puff piece in QST. Has QST ever reviewed a radio i
I appreciate the testimonials I have stirred up with my original question and this is certainly a worthwhile one. I run a Field now and am very unhappy with the way it overloads in the presence of st

Well, I am told Logger32 does not support the Orion. What logging software is everyone using? Radio k4ia Craig "Buck" Fredericksburg, Virginia USA _______________________________________________ TenT
I remember in the mid-60's the Old Crusts were opining that Silly Side band would never catch on because hams wouldn't spend the money to get new equipment. At the time, a modest station, say a Heath
Reading the posts about Orion freezes, burps and anomalies, with the usual fix being a power reset, made me wonder... That is how my keyer reacts to RFI. Is it possible these issues are not software
Carry strap? That will be part of the Orion Mark V Pro II. hi hi Radio k4ia Craig "Buck" Fredericksburg, Virginia USA _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contes
Having some trouble getting DX Lab working. The radio and software are communicating because mode works and Spotcollector will jump to a frequency when requested and display that frequency in Command
Just getting into my second day with the Orion and I notice a very annoying key click in the headphones. It is mostly on the dits. Reducing power down to 1 watt makes no difference. Setting the Sidet
Larry I agree with you. Asking the user to add a 100 ohm resistor seems to me to be a M I C K EY M O U S E solution. No offense Carl, you are just the messenger. I also note that the clicks are not a
Every earphone in the house has the problem -- from the Heil Proset to the Sennheisers (32 Ohm) to the MFJs to the cheapo walkman headphones. And what about the fuzzy sidetone sound? At least it is a

I have been doing some more experimenting based on Bob's suggestion to increase the speed. The clicks went away at about 40 wpm. A little speedy for me. I usually send around 25 wpm and increase the
Set the step to 1 and the encoder to Fast. That reduces the warble considerably and the tuning is 40% as fast as it is when the step in 10 and the encoder on slow. That is the best I have been able t
I have had the same problem with both firmware versions. I can't seem to duplicate it thought to figure out the cause. The cure is to turn off and on. Radio k4ia Craig "Buck" Fredericksburg, Virginia
I tried this and a Master reset but now my VFO has no memories at all! When I press the band buttons, the frequency sets to 000000. HELP! Radio k4ia Craig "Buck" Fredericksburg, Virginia USA ________
I assure you, the clicks are there with the Heil ProSet as bad if not worse than with 32 ohm cans. Radio k4ia Craig "Buck" Fredericksburg, Virginia USA _______________________________________________
I was hooking up my amp and looking for the place to plug the ALC cable into the Orion. There isn't any. Why? Radio k4ia Craig "Buck" Fredericksburg, Virginia USA ____________________________________
Here's a wishlist item for ya. Please make the sidetone volume constant. It should not be blasting me away just because I have to turn up the receive volume. Anyone want to fight about this idea? Rad
