Rick, I'm a big fan of link coupled balanced tuners and own two VMBs myself. I would love to own a KW Annecke. Do you know of any available in DL? Can you supply the schematic for the KW unit that yo
I am a new Orion owner after having bought a used unit last week. The unit was just repaired and upgraded with the latest hardware changes about three weeks ago. All seems to be working well except a
It took a master reset. Don't understand why the problem arose in the first place. I was copying CW on 30M when all of a sudden the problem appeared. Finally decided on trying a master rest after hav
Rich, thanks for your confirmation that this is a known problem and that a master reset eliminates it. BTW, the problem resurfaced last night about 60 minutes after I had tried the reset. I have not
Stuart, you're right: you need a tuner; you get RF in the shack with certain antenna lengths; and a good ground is essential. However, although I usually prefer to ignore isolated anecdotal reports,
Carl and others, I am a new Orion owner and I have been trying to extend the relay delay (or on time) by increasing the "QSK delay" setting. I am practically at a 100% and still the delay is quite sh
Stuart, I don't disagree with a word you've said. However, keeping the ground lead shorter than a 1/4 wave on the highest frequency band you're using will minimize the RF in the shack problem. Obviou
My previous postings attributing my Orion's raspy received CW note and other symptoms to software origins were dead wrong. I had previously agreed with others that the problem arose when the sweep fu
Carl, thanks for your reply and the enlightenment. I now understand what you were actually referring to. Your description of the QSK delay makes sense because I can hear the Orion's T/R relay clickin
OK, Carl. My first impression from reading the manual was that the "Ext T/R delay" was as you say, but I thought maybe I had missed something. This is my first TT transceiver so I wasn't aware of the

OK, Chas. I already commented to an earlier respondent with a similar opinion, but I wanted to mention a couple more things things. I have installed all of the available roofing filters in my Orion.
Well, it's interesting that this subject has just come up, because I am in the midst of trying to wire up a D104 to use with the Orion. I got off on the wrong foot because I didn't have the addendum
Good ideas, but how about also putting the AGC parameter controls on the front panel??? 73, Joe Richard Detweiler wrote: Hmmm While we are day dreaming, The Orion is a great platform, I think I'd lik
OK, Rich. But where would one find the controls? Seems to me you need something to press or turn. Have I missed something? I guess you could replace functions for other hardware controls or make them
Martin, I haven't been using the USER feature much, but if my understanding of them is correct, they should take care of your problem regarding settings for the different modes. On the other hand, I
Actually, if you listen closely, you can hear the Orion relay clicking in synch with the code elements. At least, I hear it. 73, Joe Tommy wrote: OK...we have relays clicking and/or speakers clicking
