For those who haven't discovered the K9YA Telegraph e-Zine yet, you are missing what a lot of us consider a treasure. http://www.k9ya.org 73, Bill, K3UJ
How many feel that the Orion series is just too ambitious and will never turn out to be a really user friendly rig for the average ham, no matter how many revisions are made? How many would like to s
Curious as to what rig you are currently using for comparison to the ORION with respect to user friendliness? Are you also an ORION user? Steve - W5JK I never laid hands on an Orion Steve, but have h
Probably a design feature so that the connector pins do the locating rather than the ring. Call it self centering. When screwed down tight, everything is properly aligned and locked in place. Bill/K3
At least the O2 can transmit which is more than my HR-1680 receiver could do. Can this thread outrun the headphones? 73, John NA9U Probably. Just keep posting under this subject like all the rest of

Tim, The RF gain control on the Orion II and Orion with V2 now works like other radios. As you reduce RF gain, the S meter goes up and the background noise goes away. Carl Moreschi N4PY Does that mea
I'm confused about the Orion II filters. Are the standard filters plugable? How many plug in slots are there total? Only 3 for the optional ones? What will fit in the slots? Can any of the traditiona
.....More important, ALL O2 filters are completely different than the filters Ten-Tec has used in the past in ALL rigs and they ARE NOT INTERCHANGABLE! 73 Rick Thanks Rick, when put in those terms, e

LDG folks since they are planning to release an even better tuner with memory built in, unlike the ones TT has shipped so far (at least on the Orion). 73, Duane Is this anticipated new LDG tuner inte
"We anticipate ORION II will be shipping in October 2005. We are taking orders now. As always, no charge will be made to your credit card for an order until the day the item(s) ship." Do you think T-
An Omni 6 of mine came with a 219 filter installed in the 9MHz N1 position and a 221 in N2. The 219 is the optional sharp cw filter, but what is the 221's intended purpose? (I like it for pulling wea
Looks like Orion 2 has taken a big bite out of the equity I thought I had in my Orion. Looks like the guys who predicted this were right. Looks like $2k fully equipped Orions may not be far off... K3
Oh, yeah, I don't really care for the garish black & white label on the 963... :-) I don't understand TT's priorities. An orange dot logo would fix it. The O-II REALLY needs the orange dot too. K3UJ
IMHO, its a marketing ploy rather than a matter of optimism. A way to try and keep 'em from grabbing something available NOW, like a 7800 or a FTdx9000 while TT is stuck with NOTHING to offer. Bill K
