Sorry, but it makes no sense to me to attribute these audio qualities to the DSP word length. CD's use 16-bit sampling and don't sound "grungy". 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________
Besides, isn't the Orion a 32-bit system anyway? _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
I just ran my v1.373 O1 audio through SpectraPlus. In AM mode, with 6Khz selectivity there is a full 6Khz of audio bandwidth (NOT 3Khz as Paul noted in the O2). On the main receiver, the effect of th
Natan, I encourage you to give N1MM Logger a try. N1MM himself owned an Orion and the interface is seamless, including full support for vfo-B/subreceiver (not just a useless bandmap like Writelog), s
Check the reflector archives - we've beat this horse to death before. Bottom line - set Orion risetime to 8msec to avoid clicks. 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ TenTec
This is great news, but why is the Orion still shipping with default settings that generate keyclicks? This issue was brought up quite some time ago by numerous folks and a simple firmware change wou
Not too interested in (and never really noticed) 20hz drift. Would be more interested in Inrad mods to beef up the subreceiver, which is almost useless on a crowded band with strong signals. 73, Barr

Nope, revert to 1.373b5 as K4IA suggested and go back to the future. 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.c
I resoundingly agree with the ergonomics sentiments (regrets) of the Orion. It is SOOO frustrating to change bands and have some utterly absurd settings get restored from "who knows where". This is c
When you push a band button once, why aren't the the most recent frequency/mode/bw/etc settings previously used on that band recalled? 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ T
This issue might have been discussed previously, but perhaps someone can refresh my memory. When I change my Orion's mode from USB to LSB or vice versa, I see the BW jump from 2400hz to 6000hz. Why?
I can just see it. Super rare dxpedition is on the air - for $25 you can work them remotely through my mountaintop Omni VII superstation with stacked monobanders - all major credit cards accepted. 73
I can see it now - time share remote QTH's! 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tente
Tony, many prefer 1.373b5 over 2.059d and vice versa. You should definitely try both and form your own opinion, because it will vary based on your operating condx. I've listed some of the relevant is
I'm curious - do any other Orion owners use their subreceiver on cw and notice the filter blow-by w v2 firmware, as in high pitched rendering of strong UCW signals 2.5-5Khz above their fundamental? I
Wasn't it about the same with v2.059 (i.e., it was a problem and still is)? 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.conte
This discussion is about the Orion I (v2.060b), not the Orion II. 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/
I believe this is an issue with the rewritten dsp filtering algorithms in all the O1 v2 firmware versions. The filter blowby/sidelobe problem ALSO exists in the main receiver. However, it's masked in
Some folks have reported an improvement in QSK performance on the O1 v2.060. It's quite possible this is true in the main receiver. However, I am definitely observing a significant deterioration of t
