I'm not quite sure why the Hercules II was discontinued, but maybe it had to do with the price at the time. I think people didn't want to pay $1500 + $795 for the P/S when they could get a legal limi
I also did hear about a Hercules III being in early discussion stages when I went to Dayton this year, so Hopefully, they'll do it. I'd also like to see a color display on the Orion to bite into the
In regard to the Orion not having a color display, I have heard good arguments for a color display by someone "playing up the IC-756 Pro II over the Orion". He said It has been scientifically proven
Ok, Ok, Again, I wish to emphasize I am not bashing the Orion. If I didn't already have so much in a very nice Omni 6+ station that fits my needs, I would buy an American Orion over a Japanese rig an
Apparently, Precious little is all you will find about the Orion on here. The Orion owners seem to find it necessary to form their clique elsewhere than upon this site. 73.
Hello all, Has anyone had experience with using a Timewave 59+ with the Omni 6+ on SSB, and was it an improvement over the factory DSP? The factor DSP works ok, but I'm looking for some improvement o
Features vs performance is always a compromise. I guess the individual has to decide what suits him the best. Some people like cruising around in a Cadillac, others prefer to drive a Top Fuel dragste
Hello all, It's time to put the ego's in the back pocket, dust off the microphones and demonstrate how good the Orion really is. Art Bell, W6OBB on the late night / early morning group on 3.840 would
It may be that the Acom keying is not fast enough for the QSK switching. You may have to go into the menu system and enable the relay keying and use it that way. 73.
If calling a radio a 'LEMON" on a major review site isn't trashing something, I guess I'd better get the Thesarus out and look up the origin of the word. It is kind of curious that you don't hear ver
I am beginning to think there may be something to the cult thing I mentioned in one of my earlier posts. But not Ten Tec owners in general as much as CW ops. If you dont say exactly what CW'ers want
Hello all, has anyone experienced the fact that if you forget to manually change the bandswitch on the Herc II say from 40 to 75 meters, It will still have full output into a 50 ohm load even though
Hello all, After my last post, I have decided I want to hook up my remote bandswitching capability on the Herc II with the 6+. However, I am using my Titan 425 on the 6+ now. Has anyone ever run 2 am
Hi all, I guess W6OBB is more interested in the new IC-7800 now, and he thinks he'll get one, so I guess the Orion owners don't need to waste their time now. Go ahead and enjoy your superior reciever
WOW, that is great! Someone with ETHICS! That's getting rare these days. Even W6OBB said that he didn't want to get an Orion for a 30 day trial period and send it back just to try it out if that was
Hello, The Ten Tec Centurion manual states that although it can be wired for 120V, 220-240 is STRONGLY recommended as it can draw as much as 30 amps AC at 120V which may be a wiring / fire hazard unl
Hello Ken, I did check the Breaker rating, it is rated at 30 amps. Also, with the cord being exposed, it is much more likely for me to notice something while there is time for me to intervene. The am
Hello, All I can say is if there is ANY Amateurs in the Manassas VA. area, PLEASE scan around the HF bands, and if you encounter any interference by BPL, send a letter of complaint immediately to Ril
Hello, If you're running a pre Orion rig, I have heard that if you are getting less than satisfactory results from the Heil, Running it thru a W2IHY Eq is the cat's meow. I have heard an Orion with t
