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

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
I go by Buck on the air -- old habit -- easier to send CW and more easily recognized. Don't you change volume when you put on the phones? Or need to dig a weak signal out? Or maybe your hearing is be
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
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
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
