Gee, the way I remember the definition: EX = has been SPURT = drip under pressure. That's how folks use it with me! 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas

I apologize, Ray -- I completely misunderstood your intent. There is so much negative on the reflector, I guess I let it influence me when I read your response. Now that I re-read it, I see what you
I've discovered this several times when I forget I'm in "split" mode and VFO-B is on another band. After tuning, my RX is very attenuated! Oops! So, it has helped me find a problem before I QRM'ed an
Grant, Is that on the Orion II or the Orion? On my original Orion with the LDG-sourced tuner, there is a noticeable improvement (or attenuation) of the RX signal after the tuner has been exercised. (
Sinisa, and others, I think you are misconstruing some constructive criticism here. So, let me set the record straight. As a lot of offline email has confirmed, a number of people share my concern ov
Gerald - isn't that the purpose of attenuators? I'm not sure what benefit is to be gained by mismatching RX antenna impedance, although I agree it's not highly critical they be exactly matched. I was
Have a friend across town (or the country) record it for you and send you the tape or .mp3 file. I had a local friend do that, and (1) it helped a lot, and (2) the Studio 1 on the Orion sounds outsta
I've had a chance to play with a friend's Orion II for a couple of days - just pulled my Orion out and plugged his in. I've noticed a couple of things other than the striking new display. Does anyone
Interesting, but what is the lowest resolution you can read on the display? If it's 10 Hz increments, then you're within the digital accuracy of the display, which is always +/- 1 count. If it's 1 Hz
Ron, The Orion had a mic level adjustment pot (to help out low level, or very high level mic's), but it was rougly beneath the PTT connector on the bottom. The Orion II has an adjustment below the Mi
"Foam-in-place" packaging is probably a lot worse than the cardboard cushions they have used for the Orion. Packaging has to have some "give" but little "bounce" to work effectively. Foam-in-place pa
Did you try doing the "long push" on the Tune button? From what I remember reading in the instructions for the LDG, this would cause it to start tuning with a fresh start again. -- Duane Calvin, AC5A
I used an Orion II this weekend to chase a couple new ones during the WPX, and all worked fine in FSK mode. (Not your question, but another data point.) 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas
After installing Ver 2.054 on my Orion last night (after just having borrowed someone's Orion II for the last week), I can tell you that the Orion now sounds almost exactly like the Orion II. That's
Also, it appears the Monitor problem that was fixed in Orion II ver 2.030 is still in the Orion 2.054 version of the code. At least, I can consistently cause the RTTY monitor audio to get extremely l
So far, on my Orion, 2.054 has been very solid with just a few very minor problems - things that should be easily fixed in the next release. 73, Duane -- Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas http://home
