Make sure that those filters that aren't working are in the correct slot and that they have the thin insulator board underneath to prevent shorting out. 73, Ted W4NZ You could move the filter to anot
Ernie, The N1MM recommended port setting for the Orion II are 57600, 8, N, 1 and DTR/RTS: handshake, handshake. What chip set is there in the usb/serial converter? You want one with an FTDI chipset.
Mike, According to their website, N1MM+ does not support the Paragon. For the others, look here: < https://n1mmwp.hamdocs.com/manual-supported/supported-radios/#general-tentec -information> 73, Ted W

Here's what I used to replace all six small encoders on my Orion II. They work very well. I've had no problems with encoders since. 652-PEC11L4225FS0015 PEC11L-4225F-S0015 ENCODER Bought 10 for about

Make sure the S-meter Mode is set to "RF Signal" and not "AGC Level". (in the "OTHER" menu) 73, Ted W4NZ Thanks, Mike. I have that calibration procedure, but the S meter is way high and I need to put
Yes. The OII front panel/layout/ergonomics is fine, Mike. It's what the buttons and knobs actually DO that matters more. Just for perspective, I've had a K3 and ProIII sitting beside my OrionII for o
Run this through Sherwood's list of receiver tests and you'll get a much clearer picture of cost vs. performance. http://www.sherweng.com/table.html 73, Ted W4NZ A quick look at some of what's on the
Paul, I don't know if that encoder will work in the Orions but here's what I bought from Mouser and they work well in my Orion II: Mouser #: 652-PEC11L4225FS0015 Mfr. #: PEC11L-4225F-S0015 Desc.: ENC
Hi Troy, Need a bit more information. The Orion II has an 8-pin mic connector and the Pro Set mic terminates in an 1/8-inch mono plug. I don't understand how it is connected to the radio. Are you usi
Troy, Thanks for the information. On page 9 of my Orion II manual (version 4- October 2006), in figure 2-3 it shows pins 7 and 8 as the mic connections. Pin 7 is mic ground and pin 8 is mic +. Pin 6
It might be worth a second look, Troy. Those pins on the solder side of that 8-pin connector are very close and the numbers are not easy to read. it would be easy to be off by one ... ask me how I kn
Eric, does the RIT encoder on the radio work with the radio in standalone, no computer? I do not have a remote encoder but does it override the radio's encoder if it's connected? 73, Ted W4NZ This pa
Amen! Next time I'll bring the K3 (and maybe the Orion, too) 73, 'NZ DOS4EVR The Orion platform for a short time had everyone's attention, from DXers like ON4UN to being used by many serious contest
RIT is very useful in CW contesting where in the heat of battle stations calling you may land on or near the edge of your passband. Many radios like the Orion, Orion II, TS590s and FT1000mp will acce
What other connections are there between the microkeyer II and the O2? The PTT IN is an input FROM the Orion TO the microkeyer. I doubt that this could be the root cause of the problem. Ted W4NZ I ju
Are you storing the message in memory by keying with the paddle or using software to program the memory? If you are hearing the chopped character in the Orion monitor have you verified that it is act
Bob, Do all the com port parameters in HRD (speed, parity, etc.) agree with the parameters for the radio? (57600, 8-N-1, handshake, handshake) Does the com port number in HRD agree with the port numb
Don, by adjusting the bandwidth, passband tuning, hi/lo cut and cw pitch you can pretty much make them all sound the same. 73, Ted W4NZ Anyone that can contrast the CW audio from Orion, Eagle, and OM
