I think your erroneously assuming that other hams are not aware of software and operating system software and their pluses/minuses. I have a list of 13 operating system sites in my 'favorites' menu a
I have a stock Orion, manufactured this year for sale for $3000.00. Primarily used to running beta firmware testing. Excellent condition, no scratches, stock filters. Presently loaded with firmware v

Rick, "Altogether, this is what has led me to the point that I take all measured numbers with a grain of salt and prefer to try all the rigs, comparing them to several other rigs that I know well - u
Everybody is napping after all that turkey, smoked ham, dressing, gravy, hot rolls, asparagus caserole, tea, and coffee..... :-) Tom - W4BQF -- Original Message -- From: "NJ0IP" <Rick@DJ0IP.de> To: "
Dick, When I installed a 12v fan inside my Orion, I just added a 50 ohm resistor in series with the hot lead and dropped the noise to the point the fan can not be heard. If you do this, you might wan
Gary, If it's within the budget, one of the best amps you can get, especially for QSK, is the original Titan 425. It is a 1.5KW amp, but of course you run it at any power you choose, plus the extra w
All I can say is the next version of firmware for the Orion has been 'work in progress' for quite some time. Ten Tec has been continiously working hard on it, as it's beta releases are now into the d
Well Merle, of course you can think what you like, it really doesn't bother me nor does it help me. I purchased an Orion and a Titan 3, as part of my retirement planning. I purchased those rigs to us
Ten Tec advanced the state-of-the-art, not me. All I'm presently doing is helping test beta firmware. I don't think it's necessary to explain how one hooks up a radio to do firmware testing. Tom - W4
Hi Dave, Thanks for the info about GIGAVAC...very useful. Can you tell me where I can get a copy of your article "Titan I Power Output/Tuning Drift Curve"? I've done several Google searches and can't
A great and informative paper. A 'must read' for everyone who buys their rig 'by the numbers'. I think the very last paragraph tells the real story of how we should decide on purchasing our radios. T
Yes Richard, that is a pretty common problem. However it's also rather easy to fix, in most cases. Just remove the top cover (power off of course!) remove and re-seat the cable going to the connector
Robert, I'm not with Ten Tec. I also doubt that Ten Tec would respond to your post to this reflector. The best thing to do if you wish to talk to them about your problem, is to call the Ten Tec repai
I'm glad to see there is at least one honest ham who has decided that he will not 'hang on to' the Orion until it's ready for production! My blind faith in Ten Tec has kept my Orion with me for 14 mo
I think what he said was ways unhappily looking at the pictures on his wall of his Omni 6 and Paragon he sold to be able to afford the Orion. Tom - W4BQF he'll
That's absolutely amazing Van. Tom - W4BQF Tom, I read most the post with amusement. I do not post much myself but I can say I have never had a SINGLE PROBLEM yet. I am sure some radios do have probl
Not only is that absolutely amazing Van, that means that all of the firmware upgrades since June 2003, specifically to fix a midrid of bugs and problems, have to have been a figment of a lot of hams
