I can vouch for Bills Orion it is in exceptionally good shape and has been well cared for in a non-smoking environment. And Bill is a class act, too. Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa
I have always left my Astron (when I had one) and now my W5RV 50A power supply on all the time. The only time I would turn them off is when I was going to be away from home for a week or more. 73, Du
Maybe they'll put him in customer service, where they need help badly (personal experience.) 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com That's Ham Radio Deluxe for the acronym challeng

A bit of a joke on me - I bought a used 526 "6n2" a few years back and it also had a "birdie" on 50.125. Great, I thought, and I put up with it for a long time until, finally, I decided to sell it an
Time to replace the battery! Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com Just got my Orion II back on after several years off and it started doing a master reset whenever I turned it on. What a
For some period of time a few years back, EVERYONE had problems with electrolytics due to a stolen fake formula for the electrolytic compound in the caps. Sure caused a lot of problems. I had to repa
Thanks for the reminder, Ron. I notice the Wiki article is not complete. It leaves out the news story that came out a while after the plague began that told of how someone had infiltrated the premier
Yep, it sure can! Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas ac5aa@ac5aa.com Gents, Can the same issue occur in the Orion 1. Having exact same symptoms as mentioned in this thread. Thought it could be the bat
That recovery is not in real time, and I don't know the exact delay (it's small) but you can hear the other station (or others) in the RX while transmitting, between CW elements. So, maybe you hear h
There is no discernable latency between your key closures and the sidetone. There was on the pre-6x00 models. That is what kept me away from earlier releases. That and "knobless phobia." 73, Duane Du

OK, I don't claim to be a "real contester" as I don't sit in a chair for 48 hours or run at 45 wpm (then again, not many contesters run at this speed either.) I enjoy CW and RTTY contesting in small
And in case I didn't lean on this enough, if the other person isn't really quick on the trigger, you'll never hear what I'm describing. Some contesters are so fast they anticipate the end of your exc
So, if that's true, what is the effect I was hearing? I hadn't related it to the latency question until this discussion started. The receive audio is running on a delay from "real time" all the time,
OK, but I'm running full QSK CW. And that doesn't explain the similar RTTY miss unless those were hair-trigger operators at the other end who were anticipating the "over." 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5
Thankfully, the Flex filters do not ring. I think Barry is right - because of their sharp shoulders, they tend to sound "hollow", however I've not found that it affects my ability to hear a signal be
Well, Haney and John, I'm guessing that besides myself, the others in this discussion also have long histories of TenTec ownership, and still have TT rigs in the shack. Most of the current discussion
I just checked the TT web site and I see an Orion II download listed there - Version 3.03. I can't tell what the date is on it, so don't know if it's new or not. Just thought it was interesting to fi
