Yes, indeed. We actually had three pairs of P-P 304TLs, one pair each for 80, 40 and 20. The 2x 304TH modulator was, of course, switched between them. Those were the days. In a message dated 6/17/201
I tried it a few times. When power is turned back on, it resets to default values of 100 on CW and 3000 on SSB. Definitely a bug. 73 Ray W2RS In a message dated 6/17/2010 6:00:33 P.M. GMT Standard Ti
When I cycle the O2 off and on, the stacking register returns to the one I had selected, but the DSP BW resets to a default value. The BWs of the other three registers do not reset. 73 Ray W2RS In a
Further to my last email about DSP BW resetting to a default value, I think I've figured out how my O2 picks the default value. I have it set up so that USER 1 has CW settings and USER 2 has settings
John, Well, it was 50 years ago so I can't really be sure of anything! As best I can recall, though, we had THs in the modulator and TLs in the Class C finals. The exciter was a Collins 310B and the
John, Yes, it does help. Thanks for the explanation. 73 Ray W2RS In a message dated 6/18/2010 2:48:20 P.M. GMT Standard Time, jhenry@tentec.com writes: I've been watching the discussion on bandwidth
I like Gary's toggle idea, possibly in the RX menu which already has an on/off toggle for BW tracking. 73 Ray W2RS In a message dated 6/19/2010 4:17:08 P.M. GMT Standard Time, ghoffman@spacetech.com
I agree, Dave. Our local radio club here in southern Arizona has a; weekly net on 20 SSB during the summer months, so the "snowbirds" who go north in the summer can stay in touch. It's pretty much th
Also, make sure that the update program is using the right COM port to reach the radio. That would normally be the same COM port you're using for CAT functions. GL, Ray W2RS In a message dated 6/22/2
Hi, My new 707 mike arrived today and I've been playing with it. The audio sounds fine on the Orion II monitor with EQ set to 0 dB as per the instructions, but I find that it needs quite a bit more g
Tnx for the info. Further experimentation shows that I can back off the mic gain to 55 or 60 on SSB, but it still wants 75 or so on AM. If I go past +12 dB of H/W mic gain, it begins to sound distort
Hi, FWIW, for the time being I've settled on the following Orion II settings for the 707 mike: For normal SSB operation: TX EQ 0, TX Filter BW 2850, LF Rolloff 150, H/W MIC Gain 14.0, VOX Trip Level

I have done it with my Orion II and US Interface Navigator, with MixW software. I have, however, switched to AFSK because it's more convenient -- I can move the TX/RX frequency by clicking on the des
Hi, This isn't a bug in the hardware or firmware, more like a bug in the operator (me) that brings up a need for very clear instructions. Last night I put my Orion II on RTTY for the first time since
The Sherwood test data for the top receivers (K3, Flex 5000, Orion, Orion II) do not show what I would call major differences in performance from one to another. Given that, if value for money is use
Bill makes good points, but for the benefit of newcomers and others unfamiliar with the radios, we should probably add, by way of clarification, that the Orion v2 and Orion II firmware are similar bu
John, Depending on what software you're using and what you want it to do, Ten-Tec radios can operate digi modes without an interface, using only a sound-card-to-AUX-port cable that is available from
My Argo V spends most of its time these days as the driver of my 1208 transverter -- much safer for the 1208 than trying to drive it with a 100-watt radio. However, I've had good results operating th
Hi Charles, I'm using the Sony MDR-7506 with my Orion II. Excellent sound, around $100. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Bill, W4ZV, originally recommended them. 73 Ray W2RS In a message dated 8/11/201
