Hi, I cannot "add" you. You must go to the Groups site on Yahoo, and sign up to join the Orion discussion list. Get started by going to: 1. http://www.yahoo.com/ 2. Then click on "Groups"; in the mid
Nope, I almost am able to do this job. And have NO interest in opening another list somewhere else!!! If you believe one is necessary, then go to it, and MUCH luck and success! Go to it, Eric, K3NA!
Hi guys, In consultation with Ken Hopper, N9 V V who started the Yahoo group in February of 2002, we have decided it is time for the Orion "specialty" group to stop. It is best to have the info avail
Ok, I will delay the group deletion for a few hours so some of you can finish downloading variuous bits from the list archives. Lets say it will go at 0200 UTC coming up in about 3 hours. 73, Jim KH7
Good idea. Figured out how to set that up. List is now closed and no new members can join; no new messages can now be posted, and unfortunately, only "old" members can gain access to the archive of
John, N1JM, asked: It is closed. Those who were members can still access the archives for a time. I will delete all in another couple of weeks. While you were away, it became clear it was best to sto
To those concerned about whether or not to leap forth to buy an Orion: The following essay was written by KH7T, John Buck out here in Hawaii to a friend who asked for his evaluation of the Orion and
Hi, It is well known that there are some problems still with the serial port code of the Orion. The fact that some things are slow being most bothersome. I suspect the problems with loading CW phrase
John, KH7T, wrote, in part: Hmmm, what is the chance that the Dragonball processor will itself have to be replaced; if it is "saturated", unable to perform all that it is designed/hoped for? If "dits
No and nope, to answer my own questions. The Dragonball and DSP processors are all three on the A7 PCB assembly 81917 within the ORION. And, of course, that is the most difficult board to deal with
Someone asked the other day if the Omni VI could be "sync'd" to GPS using the surplus hp rcvr on the market. No it cannot, nor can the Orion, unfortunately. Only the Ten Tec RX-340 rcvr is set up to
Curt, NU7R, wrote, in part: Hmmm, wonder if there is such an "injection" pin point somewhere in the Orion?? Presume Curt routs a small coax into the "interstices" of the Omni. 73, Jim KH7M
Ok, I downloaded and installed same. Now have lost the use of my CW st. key as my PTT switch. That was a deliberate change of the update cycle....why?? I would like it back! Now, how to do SSB with n
Thanks to John D and Carl M for constructive comments about this issue. I have also rcvd an e mail from Gary B at ditsnbits this morning, a portion of same: "In an effort to meet everyone's needs we
Gary has done it!! Firmware version 1.357 is at the ditsnbits site (rfsquared) via the Ten Tec web page. This adds a menu item at the CW button to select either the "old Omni" way, or the "new" way p
Hi, Just for a mark on the wall: today at 1734 UTC, I copied and exchanged reports with W0TUP in Minot, No. Dakota. He was running 850 mW using the Rock-Mite. He has the little PCB mounted in an Alto
Hi Thanks to the several who have commented about this QSO. Yes, the k index had been 5 and 6 for several hours before. The band was noisy. Not sure what my S meter read for the noise, but was probab
Yes, I have one, on the shelf now. Why? The open frame relays are very difficult to clean, the contacts that is. The result: in very short amount of time the thing goes "deaf"! As far as QSK, it wor
My use is to connect the key/ptt line directly to the "Key 1" input of the QSK-5, and the "External T/R" output on the back of the transceiver is connected to the "Key 2" input of the QSK-5. I make N
