Jack - Sent mine back to Ten Tec and they replaced the crystal oven with a TCXO. Common replacement. 73 de K1ESE John Every 35 seconds or so the frequency would jump on the order of 10-50Hz for a fra
Lou - All the radios you listed would be very nice mid grade transceivers. Here's my reaction based on my experience with Ten Tecs. My key requirements are 1) PC interface for logging Omni VI (option
I'm having trouble getting clear in my head the settings for QSK and semi-QSK. My Orion 1 has CW QSK Delay set at 0 for QSK and 10 for semi-QSK I set the EX T/R Delay 1 at 10 for QSK and 40 for semi-
Reg - I sure would like to know the details of that fix, which in-line components, which traces, and which resistor. I've had the same problem. Tried re-soldering the pins, helps for short period. Tr
John - Please keep us posted on your successes. I guess, non-successes, also. 73 de K1ESE John I have decided I am going beat this problem. I am going to remove the case from my Orion and remove the

Jim - The weight on the Omni VI internal keyer is adjustable. As I remember, you press sidetone, then CW, and use the arrows to change the value. I liked it all the way up, 1.30. For the AEA, use a k
I doubt if your pod will ever fail. My RIT/XIT rarely works. Lately, I've been using the N4PY software to control the RIT/XIT. That always works. I also programmed a user control on my DXLabs Command
John - I turned on the radio in the shack and the RIT was not working. I took the radio to the workbench (OK, kitchen table). I removed the top and bottom covers and removed the screws that hold the
John - Looks like the mystery remains, but you are making great progress. Connectors seem to be at the root. I'd be happy to help, but the experiment you asked me to perform has cured my problem for
Marty - This article: http://www.ad5x.com/images/Articles/Ztuner.pdf describes building a Z-match. I built one and was happy with the performance. Phil used T157-6 torroid and #20 enamel wire for 100
I've had my Orion 565, using V2.062a firmware, for a couple of months and really like the radio. I do have some questions when it comes to AGC settings. I have AGC slope set to flat. I set AF gain hi
Thanks Merle! That was a good explanation of what I was experiencing. I like version 2 firmware, but will try v1.373b5. I've tried it before, but never for long enough to get used to it. 73 de K1ESE

These trim rings are cool. I assume the goal is to match the ring color to the color of the Ten Tec dot :-) 73 de K1ESE John If all Orion owners buy the new knob trim pieces, maybe we can get some ad
I have been getting acquainted with my new (to me) Orion 1 over the last month. With all the settings there is a lot to learn, but that's the fun of it. I have found comfortable CW keying by using th
Have a new-to-me Orion 1. Didn't come with the "key" mentioned in the manual to undo the cabinet screws. Anyone know what I should ask for when I go to the hardware to get the right kind of driver to
