I am attempting to build a 1208 kit I recently purchased. The RX section works very well. The preliminary tests in section 6 are all perfect also until step 6-21 at which I get absolutely no RF outpu
I replaced a Heil Proset Quietphone with a Ten Tec headset for use with my Orion 565 for impedance reasons. I am very happy. Heil is a great marketer of average to substandard gear in my experience.
Enough please! This whole discussion was OT in the first place and it is wearing out my delete button. -- They are only books and magazines. What one man junk is another mans treasures. I you like th
Go to the RX menu and press the 15m band select key. This will bring up a screen that allows you set the S meter in digital counts. AL7CR -- Does anyone know the procedure for calibrating the Orion s
I am using exactly the setup you are attempting. Luckily I acquired my 311 with the 253 at a hamfest. You will need the 311 and two cables. One cable runs from the 253 (a Molex connector) to the side
Mr. Henry, Just a note of thanks for the time, effort, and cost of developing this new revision of the firmware. My first impressions are highly favorable. The NR is much improved and I very much lik
I have recently begun doing some SSB skeds using my Orion I and a Heil Proset Quiet Phone headset. I acquired the headset at SeaPac a few years ago but have only now really begun to use it. My only c
Thank you to the many folks who responded with suggestions concerning this problem. As several of you noted the basic problem is that the Heil Headset has 220 ohm speakers and the Orion headset jack
I am running version 2.063Xg software. On the A VFO display just above the hundred hertz value a lower case "c" is displayed. I can't find the meaning of that in the manual. Can someone help me out?
Mr. Henry, My particular concern is a bug which causes loss of the aux audio output. This has both been fixed and has returned during recent software revisions. I would be most unfortunate if it retu
I have used both extensively on SSB and the NIR-12 is by far the better unit. It offers the choice of spectral subtraction, adaptive filtering, or both in series. There simply is no comparison betwee
I do a lot of SWL and this bug is a real annoyance for me. Sadly it was reintroduced in the last two software updates having been previously resolved. It does not exist in version 2.060b of the firmw
It works perfectly, I use it quite frequently. I made a special setup file for the Orion using 57600 baud, 8N2. The 20 meter command string is: *RMM2\0D*RMF500\0D*AF14.100\0D The others are identical
The old problem of aux receive output disappearing after the first transmission if the sub receiver is in AM mode has reappeared in the last two revisions. Perhaps that is the problem you have noted.
John, I lose main rx aux audio ouput the first time the tx is keyed if the sub rx is in AM. We are not alone in this problem and the obvious workaround is to leave the sub in another mode. I like to
Any version of the Drake R8 would fit your need perfectly. There is no better SWL receiver available in my opinion and that of many others. You will appreciate the synchronous AM reception for SW bro
