I couldn't agree more. I bought two of these used and although I've had some minor problems, I am quite impressed with their service and performance. Two major positive features: 1) the separate powe
I have just upgraded to a 238B. This unit is cosmetically immaculate and works FB. I'll send photos on request. I bought it used less than a year ago and have only used it sparingly on 30M with a Zep

Back a couple of months ago, I had received some info from one or two folks who were using DEM transverters with the Orion. Unfortunately, I had multiple HD crashes and lost the info and the IDs of t

Thanks for your input, Ulrich. I'm also quite pleased with the Orion's performance with the transverter. It seems that there is a minor problem with the power control though. 73 and 55, Joe Ulrich Hi
I have routinely settled on -15 dB RX EQ setting for all modes. I suspect the fact that my high frequency hearing is going has a lot to do with it. 73, Joe Bill Tippett wrote: K3NA wrote: settings. I
I have been using a DEMI 6M transverter with the Orion. Although I am having a minor problem with it, which may lie in the transverter and not the Orion, it is working quite well. I recently picked u
Jerome, I've observed this same problem with the O(rion control software. It's sometimes difficult to fine tune a station because one tends to overtune or overshoot the signal. Carl has said that it'
Yes, but if I convert a USB port to a serial port, do I still obtain the increased speed of the USB? If so, that sounds like an easy way out. Or are you suggesting that TT change the interface to a U

That explains why the DX4WIN keyboard works OK; it doesn't involve the Orion keyer. Maybe I'll invest in the K1EL keyer kit. Thanks to all for all the input and suggestions. 73, Joe Carl Moreschi wro

Hi John. The 238B is working FB on 30, 40 and 80M so far. Is the 352 (built) still available? If so, I'll take it. Otherwise I'll take the kit. 73, Joe John Rader wrote: I have some extra stuff for s
