"If you hang around here long enough you notice that there are some not so "forward looking" guys too. That's fine, it gives this reflector a wide dynamic range, the futuristic thinkers (like me) can
I don't understand why when someone highlites the fact that there is problems still with the Orion's firmware, everybody has to jump to it's defense. There are problems with the Orion, fortunately no
I assume your addressing your post toward Eric. However your dead WRONG; it was not 'just' his Orion that seemed buggy. Patience? Don't you think fourteen months shows some patience? Lotta people hav
Duane, If you haven't already, maybe try the memory reset. I certainly don't know for sure, but that sounds more like a memory problem than a firmware problem (my guess only). (Hold down VFO B Lock b
Gene, 'Battery Failure' also appears when you perform the RAM Clear reset function. In this case, it does not mean you have a battery failure. Tom - W4BQF new mentioned know up
Yes Gary, there certianly will be a firmware update. I am part of the beta firmware test group and I can tell you it's really going to be a good one. There is just a few more glitches still being wor
Rob, I certainly agree with Steve on the fact that I thought your comments were quite helpful and in a very straight forward manner, answered some of the questions that was posted. I'm not a phone op

Great advice! Tom - W4BQF PS...where do I buy one of them 'AVC' things? Does Radio Shack sell 'em? How much power duz they put out? Or will they work on SSB? compare well process working

Well bill, if you had Mr. Gates billions of bucks, you probably really would not care that someone was waiting for you to have an 'original thought'. Tom - W4BQF The history of gates/microsoft/ibm is
Hmmmm...where can I get some Apple software that will run 385 servers spread across the country...that will NOT fail? What COM ports? Only reason we need COM ports now is to run ham software. OH yea,
Don't stop...since we can't talk about the Orion firmware on the Ten Tec reflector...we can bash computers! Yep, it was Gates who once said that...I think that was way before there was an orange..er.
Yea, I know it's fun. Only problem is your winning...big time! Your right, I didn't build a PC, I just bought the exact parts and HeathKitted them together. At least they were MY specific parts. Your
With your suggestion BUT must work to 100 wpm with full 'old time' TT smooth QSK!! SDR is for SSB users, but almost worthless for CW operators (my opinion, after Orion). Tom - W4BQF
