Hello, I've never seen this output power control problem. With my ORION, I easily can control the transverter output power from nothing til max with the front panel control. It works excellent. I use
Hello, sorry, but I completely disagree with you, Sinisa. First, there is no higher-magnitude error than a bad transmit signal. Every other error is only harmull to the operator itself, a FT1000X can
Hello, at least in some cases I can confirm Sinisa's observations. A sufficiently high AGC threshold (probably in combination with some hang time) improved readability at least on some signals, f.ex.
Hello, I just connected my VHF system, consisting of a Transverter and amplifier, to my ORION. My problem actually is the PTT line (key output) during CW transmission. While I can set a T/R hang time
Hello, I found a severe problem with my ORION on 17m yesterday evening. Instead of being tuned to the displayed frequency, the synthesizer for VFO A often locks around 560-580 kHz higher (measured wi
Hello John, thank you for the additional informations & hints. Well, I only forgot to mention the RAM clear in my message. I of course tried this, too. Obviously, the problem is a hardware problem wh
Hello, as I'll own an ORION soon, I have to think about integrating it into my shack.. Well... and that's the problem: as many others, my PC has only one serial port, which is already in use for PR.
Hello, thank you for the big amount of answers I got on my question concerning USB/COM adapters and ORION. ... I think I'll just try it out with USB adapters, and if it doesn't work, I'll insert addi
Good morning and a happy new year 2004 all around, It's exaclty what you need for safe QSK operations. As far as I understood, the ORION has a fixed CW delay of 20 ms. Those 20ms are intended to prev
Hello, just one simple comment about this thematic: I'm used to use High Cut / Low Cut on my TS850S - and comparing this with PBT I've seen on other transceivers (with fixed BW), I really wouldn't li
Hello, Sinisa, you are absolutely right. Me too, in CW, I normally use RIT - but sometimes also Cutting, but that's only due to the fact that I've only a 500 Hz filter in my TS850 - not sufficient at
Hello, today I ordered my ORION from our (new) german TenTec distributor. As I got some EMC problems with my switched PS from Diamond while transmitting more than abt. 400W on 40m, I wonder if someon
Hello, I actually think about replacing one of my two TS850s by an Orion. Unfortunately, I had no chance to find an ORION owner here in the southwestern corner of Germany, resulting in no possiblity
Hello, first of all thank you to everybody who sent me answers to my question concerning a possible comparison between the TS850 and the ORION. Meanwhile, I've also been reading older discussions fro
Hello, a lot of words have been exchanged for the QSK/PTT theme - for me, just another problem concerning QSK operation is important right now while planning my station upgrade: If I purchase the ORI
Many thanks to Carl N4PY, Jack AK7O and Duane N9DG for the comments. Of course I agree with Jack that on HF, QSK is an abolute must for reliable operation. It has nothing to do with PTT: Be sure, I'l
Hello, In fact, this seems somehow plausible to me. It's probably just the price one has to pay for the excellent behaviour the ORION was stated to have on weak-signal work and an AGC setting optimiz
