Can anyone explain the use of the USER buttons? I set my Orion up as I like it, press the USER1 button for 2 seconds to store the current settings. I then press the USER1 button for 1 second and the
I think I answered my own question! USER is a non volatile memory. Guess the first thin one is to do when turning on the O2 is press USER1 for 2 seconds. Once the rig is turned off it's "good by" set
Can anyone direct me to the control line that activates the internal automatic tuner on the Orion2? I'd like to buffer this and connect it to one of the spare jacks on the back to activate my new MFJ
I just purchased a MFJ 1.5KW auto tuner. I am having trouble with it sensing the 25 or so watts from the O2 at times even though the tuner says it will sense 5 watts. I have to hit tune then PWR and
I am having trouble with my O2 working with a new MFJ-998 auto tuner. The MFJ specs says it only needs 5 watts to start the auto tune process. The problem is when I have it tune160 meters, which is f
Oh boy, this is one of the things I'd really like to see. That is, pan adaptor but, what about the internal spectrum scope. How is the pan adaptor different and why spend more money when there is a s
I also clicked "open source"! I'd still like to see the "real time" band scope on my Orion2 upgraded to real time, better NR, a variable HW NB, forget the SW NB, items on color screen using more colo
OK, if I buy the new Ten Tec Omni 7 that is equipped with a internet connection how do I access it from a remote location in the USA? Of course I do know that it would be hooked to my cable modem or
I guess it had to happen. The Ten Tec Orion-2 is now number 3 on Sherwood's receiver test data behind the K3 and the T Flex-5000A. Wonder if Ten Tec will ever improve the O2's receiver performance or
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
I have an O2 and lately it fails to receive when returning from transmit. I thought it was the O2 but further investigating found out it was my Ameritron AL-1500 TR relay. My question is: Has anyone
I'd suggest that manufactures do not promise a date for a rig (Elcraft K3) or TT, high speed sweep until it is near ready and a done deal. Just gets me upset when we are held off for months when a ri
Bernie; You didn't mention what interface you are using. I use a Home Brew 2N2222 transistor to key the O2 RTTY and PTT with no problems on RTTY. I use the output audio from the O2 through a Radio Sh
I'd have to see what the schematic looks like. May be a distortion of the (wiggle) voltage to the O2 from the Bauxcomm. I had that when another ham in our club wanted isolation between his computer a
Am I the only one that complains about the PTT button on the 706 mic? I work a lot of DX and have need to press this button a lot of times. It's crap shoot whether the rig goes into transmit??? Got t
I've had enough of my VHF packet transmitter getting into my headphone output of my O2. Every time my packet VHF transmitter transmits the audio is interfered with. This doesn't happen with the speak
(sent to dits n bits) I have had my O2 for over a year now and noticed an ongoing problem with CW characters in SEND 1, 2, or 3 missing the first cw character when pressed. I have tried re-entering m
