You hold down the VFO B Lck button while turning on the rig. Look on the firmware upgrade ( http://www.rfsquared.com/Orion/orionmain.htm ) page under heading HELP! RADIO SCREEN BLANK AFTER UPDATE. I
Ok, got the answer to the keyer timing issue. Been talking to Paul at Ten Tec this morning. He called me back after conferring with their software folks. If you turn the Orion off, it will start agai
I'm getting much the same thing in 1.372. Both the AF control and bandwidth will occasionally exhibit little "clicks" and then the audio changes. One time while adjusting the volume, it went mute for
Operating Orion 1.372 although I had this problem with 1.371 as well. I'm using a Centaur which seems to be working perfectly in QSK. Frankly, since I've a low 80m loop in an area where I'm not suppo
Apparently this problem began with 1.370 and has been reported to TT from emails I've received offline. With my challenging antenna environment, it is especially aggravating to reboot the Orion when
I agree with your post Harry. I also would like to return as well, but my Orion came with 1.371 and they've taken it off the server it appears. So, I've written ditsnbits to see where they have it av
Thank you all for responding and either sending or offering 1.371. Gary from ditsnbits sent me a copy almost immediately as well and asked for feedback. Many of the bugs that 1.372 fixed I hadn't not
I've not heard a bunch of "me too's" so wonder if my experience is unique and therefore a hardware problem or it's experienced by others and they are not bothered. If it's unique, then I'll ship my r
Have to admit that I'm a little slow. Know this is a SDR but guess I'm finally beginning to understand that this is a computer--and a Windows computer at that- where you might have to reboot, tweak t
After Tom and I compared notes off line, I've been trying W9GE's suggestion for the last couple of days and haven't lost transmit yet. I'm using a Centaur. Gary W7TEA ________________________________
Grant, I've just turned on both loops. It's only been two days but I've exercised the Centaur some on line and standby and then turned off altogether. I used to get times when the Orion would key but
While the band was nothing to shout about here today and my neighborhood noise was bad--I thought I'd see where my readout was compared to WWV. This is the method I've used in the past-- I tune WWV o
Thank you all for comments. My readout was 19999.900 when zerobeat to 20 mHz WWV--so 100 hz off. My, it doesn't take much to change the frequency! A hairs breadth got me within 6 hz so that is plenty
Jim, can you give us some details as to what happened when the rig wouldn't accept the 1.372.ruf file? I certainly had problems, being new to SDR and new to Windows as well. Paul at TT service walked
I just loaded 1.372 again to see if my assessment of the tradeoffs have changed. I like the adjustable RF gain but am not fond of the delays you find on some functions nor the little audio glitches w
I am running 1.371 and have found that if I make sure NR is off in the sub receiver, Sweep never freezes. I can have NB on in either receiver and NR on in main receiver and Sweep works fb. Gary W7TEA
Works fine using Safari under OS X as well. _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
I did not see a difference in stability. If I make sure NR is off in the sub receiver, Sweep has never frozen for me. With NR in the sub receiver, Sweep is very unstable. I've lost the receiver in bo
Live in a CCNR paradise too with no external antennas allowed. When we had this house built 15 years ago, I installed a 40m loop in the attic. It is 40'x20' fed with ladder line down thru the wall an
For years I used an old Heathkit keyer but switched over to the keyer in the Orion last fall. Now that it is heading to Sevierville, I fired up my trusty TS-850 yesterday for the time while the Orion
