NQ5T: of early December, NR had been turned off in the next one's firmware. You're two revisions behind Grant...things move very quickly in some places... http://mailman.qth.net/pipermail/elecraft/20
NQ5T: Yes, the difference is the date of last progress. (i.e. 1 day versus >3 years for the last official v1 - 11/30/2004). v2 does not qualify as "progress" as you stated before. :-) 73, Bill W4ZV
NQ5T: introduced. OF COURSE the new one's developers have put out multiple updates since early December. There are apparently a lot of bugs to fix. I recall very well Grant. I remember the frequent c
NQ5T: real world experience might be a reasonable thing to do. Very true! Below is the only data I've seen so far. I would expect the K3 to be very comparable to Orion since both use similar front-en

My original Orion is now sold but I have the following accessories available. Prices below include Priority Mail to the lower 48 plus insurance. All are in perfect electrical and physical condition.
N7FV: When your bank tells you the money has been received and it in your account, it is a done deal. My bank charges $15 to send a wire transfer, but this may vary from area to area. A wire transfer
N4PY: last values I had on that band even things like power output settings, antenna settings, attenuators, preamps, and so on. Other rigs do much of this...the Elecraft K2 does the above excluding p
AC5AA: with the latest firmware. I have them set on all bands to CW, PSK, FSK, and SSB freq and mode, and they are 100% repeatable. That wasn't the point I was making. I believe they are repeatable a
AC5AA: one that has the mode I'm going to jump to. That assumes mode identifies the register. If you are using LSB for both SSB and PSK, then you have to look somewhere else on the display. Simply ad
N0XB: et.al., at TT are aware of these things, and will at some point address them as best they can. I disagree Larry. 4 years is far too long to change Orion's default CW Rise/Fall setting from 5 ms
W4TJE: this discussion is about. idon't fully understand it. Jack, if you don't understand others may not either. Here's the problem in brief (applies to all Orions): 1. Menu>CW>Rise/Fall can be set
filter, and seems easier to tune/peak a weak signal. Ken, there is little hardware difference in the analog signal path for an Orion + Inrad 762 versus Orion II + TT 2001. The differences you are hea
K5WK/&: The Orion (not Ver 2) is 1.372 software. Ken I believe you mean 2.037j for Orion II, because 2.059d is the most recent V2 version for the original Orion. Orion II. It is fine. They are both f
K5WK/7: FT-1000 Mark V (200w) for $1700 - $1800, and add INRAD filters. Only if you have a source for cheap filters or don't need many. At $155 each for the 455 kHz IF and $115 for the 8.2 MHz IF, th
Exactly. After playing with the Taps setting, I leave mine permanently set on the default 199. Lower Taps setting can cause the DSP filter to have multiple peaks out of the nominal passband. Although
K5SF: faster than any fuse or airpax on the DC line when the over current happens and save your finals. That is a myth that got started because Omnis do not have internal protection. Orion does accor
However narrow the bandwidth, there is still a mixture of noise and signal left inside the pass band. Furthermore, properly implemented algorithms can identify much of this noise and eliminate it. Th
