Good info from K4TAX. Personally, over the last half century plus of playing with RF I have always figured the RF should be inside the TX/tuner/coax, etc., and any and all attempts at an RF ground sh
I'm a few miles from my catalogs but the last time I looked AES carried Polyphaser's lightning protection book. Highly recommended - check the price list for Polyphaser. The ICE website (down the lef
Hmmm - Bob's comments make me wonder if somthing on that order may be the reason I have not observed some of the other things Orion owners have commented on. My shack is powered by a pair of RM-70's
Yes, the manual specifically says the PS should be on when the Orion is turned on. But how many of us will change the habits of a lifetime just because the manual says to do something? 73 Pete Allen
Hi Toby: I have not had that but evidently others have. There was a post about a week ago that the Orion does that when the audio menu is set to factory default. Since mine is set to "Left,main - Rig
Looks like the "Fishy Jupiter" was more like a reptile in the woodpile - since there's only one Jupe on E-bay this morning. I see the remaining Jupiter has a note by the seller, KM6AD, warning about
Clicking on the link brings up an "item is invalid" from E-bay. Maybe you still have it in your internet cache. 73 Pete Allen AC5E -- Never squat with your spurs on
Well, first, there were two Jupiters listed in "ham radio" yesterday afternoon. Today, the link still does not work for me and this morning a for "Jupiter" in "consumer electronics" brings up one Ten
The saga of the fishy Jupiter gets more and more curious. Being even more inquisitive than Kritter the ham shack cat I did the following..... First, manually cleaned my internet cache. Tried the link

Well, that's part of what's raising interest. The description is curious: The fact that the picture and the description were lifted verbatum from another listing is curious: the fact that the shippin
Not to lose Ten Tec a sale, but the "bungee cord" is beading cord elastic. Wal-Mart's StretchRite brand #3961 is cheap and probably available locally in their fabric department. It lasts around 7 yea
John, I have had my Jupiter in the second radio slot last summer, and the Orion's second reciever has somewhat tighter filtering than the Jupiter. That was one of those noisy solar periods we get occ
Well, speaking personally, I would opt for whichever version comes with the rig. If you ordered it today it will most likely come with the next version of the firmware, but 1.371 has been stone stabl
Well, most computer control programs "look like" a radio, albit with enhancements that make it look less like a 3D image of the controlled radio than a representation of the actual radio. There would
Any advertiser supported publication that prints equipment reviews MUST give due consideration to all aspects of the situation. An editor must consider who they want to lay off before they print a su
The Orion's sweep really does not have the resolution to more than approximately indicate another stations RX bandwidth. An extra wide spike does indicate wide band SSB, wider means AM, and narrow is
There are always rumors, but since there's such a waiting list for the Orion I expect they are still afloat. One of the surest signs of financial trouble is when a company sharply reduces the selling
Well, I found some very wide range digital racket from around 14.3 up to above 18.1 - beam heading 30 degrees east of north - while listening for CW DX on the 17m band. This stuff had a good bit of Q
Eric, from past experience I don't think any written complaint by itself would be worth the paper it's written on. It has always taken a recording of the interference, a couple of reasonably disinter
