1. RE: [TenTec] Orion diversity reception (score: 1)
Author: "Dick Green" <dick.green@VALLEY.NET>
Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2004 13:31:15 -0500
I disabled diversity reception in my 1000D for several reasons. First and foremost, it eliminated the ability to use a separate beverage (i.e., RX ANT.) Second, there was no way to lock the VFOs toge

I recommend a Master Reset after every firmware update. This can be made easy by setting up the radio with your favorite starting parameters (including all menu settings, memories and band registers)

I was on the road for the holidays and just now got a chance to read and respond to the large number of posts regarding the Orion's contest performance. I don't want to dredge up a bunch of stuff tha

I agree. There needs to be a good overview schematic and it looks like a number of circuits are abbreviated in block form without sufficient detail to see how they work. When I had trouble with my PA

Author: "Dick Green" <dick.green@valley.net>

A while back I posted a message reporting that my Orion had a serious TX problem. The transmitter had been fine for 1020 Qs on ARRL SS CW and 3066 Qs in CQ WW CW, but after one QSO in ARRL 160 the po

To each his own, but for me the problems Mark outlines are not even close to sufficient to make me return the radio. I knew going in that the Orion is a cutting-edge product, but any significant adva

This is a good suggestion. I found 10 Hz steps too fine for RIT in contesting. Some CW ops call as much as 250 Hz off frequency, and it takes too many turns of the RIT knob at 10 Hz to bring them in

I haven't noticed an objectionable drop in audio level when switching in NR. It may be just the impression you get from the big reduction in noise. Sometimes it sounds like the receiver is muted! But

I have to agree that liner taper on the Orion audio control isn't the right approach. It's difficult to crank the volume down to a low level without cutting it off completely, and takes too long to i

Much as I would love to get a peek at the Orion firmware source code, and generally admire the open source movement, I don't think it's feasible or realistic in this case. Unlike older generations of

Me too. Got both sitting right here on the desk for S02R -- the perfect combination. The answer depends to a large degree on what you do with your radio. For an avid contester like me, the Orion adds

Martin, I'm all for advanced APIs and making low-level data/control available to external computers. That's good design practice, and can be done without releasing source code. Detailed documentation

Bill, I'll make a fuller report soon, but the Orion did well for me too. I agree it wasn't magical enough to get rid of the lids who plunked down 50 Hz from my run frequency, but it did fine in most

Saturday night, after one contact in the ARRL 160m contest, something went wrong with my Orion's transmitter. It now produces no more than about 20W output when set to 60W to drive the amp. Increasin

Craig, I believe RFI succeptibility is a distinct possibility. I've seen some pretty strange behavior in both a multi-multi and SO2R contest configuration (two different QTHs.) In my system, I put a

Same deal on the Orion. I was told there is no Service manual. I consider this to be a glaring omission and quite inconsistent with the claim that Ten Tec wants its customers to "pop the covers". 73,

Until I got my new Orion, I never used QSK on the run (CQ) radio when contesting in SO2R mode. I did use it off-and-on when S&Ping, though that's generally not as important. The reason I didn't use Q
