This is a follow up to my email below from 24 October 2016. As of 12/14/16, my Orion II is successfully repaired now, thanks to good friend Kevin W9CF. What had failed was some component(s) on the 12
Steve, This is in the Orion II. I dont believe the Orion is a cfl backlit display. Others should verify. Tnx. 73, Bob K8IA Arizona Outlaws Contest Club That board would be a good item for Orion owner
I am getting ready for our annual Multi-Two N7AT fun in CQWW SSB, this weekend. One of the op positions has my Orion II. Today, I turned the Orion II on and no screen appeared, just blank/black. The
Tnx a bunch Andy! The caps on A9 here were replaced about 2009. I will look there first though. Great info from your email re the two 470uf caps and the 16uh inductor. I'll snoop around a bit with th
John, I installed a beta RX366 in my Orion II about mid-Sept 2011 and have contested extensively with it ever since. Much of it in the N1MM SO2V mode you mention. K8IA and N7AT callsigns used here. I
The RX366 addition not only shines in diversity rx reception, it is a significant tool for the contester who uses N1MM's SO2V mode. Now we have another radio that has as good of a sub-receiver as its
Not here. I can cycle the radio on and off and the set DSP BW in all four (A thru D) band registers and all are recalled, every time, with complete accuracy to what I set last. 73, Bob K8IA, Presiden
Nope, that works fine here too. I usually use Color 4 (the Default color), but in my test I dialed in several other colors, turned the radio power off and then back on about 60 seconds later. All was
Peter; Yes, I've noticed the same thing here with 2.041XL. Very random, as you say, but enough to make me think very seriously about re-loading 2.039d for ARRL DX SSB Contest this weekend. Too bad, s
Hey Gang, check out the new Ten-Tec website and the news on the Jupiter! http://tentec.com/ 73, Alan N5NA Yep, looks like us Orion and Orion II owners arent even second class citizens now. The Omni V
Am I missing something with not wanting a Sub receiver as good as the Main? I've owned a O1 and now a O2 for over 4 years and never had need for a Sub receiver as good as the Main. I like the Sub the
Does anyone have a method that matches the output of the Orion 2 to the Heil Pro set earphones. I believe the O2 has a 600 ohm output and the headset is 8 ohms. I tried using two of radio shack 1000o
Hi Bob, I didn't know the extent of the problem. And I do run the rig everyday, most of the day. The replacement caps are physically bigger by 30-percent, with the same lead spacing. They are rated 3
Guys, could I get some advice. I have been trying to get used to my OII for a while now and in some instances it is great compared to my old fully loaded MP's. Sharp filters, great sensitivity, good
Indeed Barry is right on. The 1.8 khz roofing filter coupled with 1300-1500 hz BW slices away at the contest qrm on even the crowded 20M band! Best I ever used as well. 73, Bob K8IA Arizona USA In a
I have a signal peak from here in Arkansas at 270 degrees (West). If you others could pass along your headings it might be interesting. Thanks & 73, Bernie K5XS Seems to peak about 50 degrees from he
Interesting, Bob. That would put it in the New Mexico area if our bearings are right... Humm, that's suspicious.......I dont recall the details, but aabt 2 yrs ago we had significant interference fro
Interesting, Bob. That would put it in the New Mexico area if our bearings are right... OK......what I WAS hearing was actually on 14222 and has now disappeared, as of 1730Z. What are others experien
Still hear in Fl and a lot stronger s 7/9 chopping type noise and I'm beamed about 275/280,,,Mac Scratch any previous report from me. I was listening to a signal with a completely different signature
It's back. I'm hearing it about S4, around 150 degrees from my QTH 50 mi north northwest of San Francisco. That would put it around San Diego if the reports from yesterday all converged. Ron Castro C
