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
I'm using N4PY's software in conjunction for DX4WIN. Since I was already set up to use the DX4WIN keyboard for CW, I've continued using it. It has performed flawlessly without any problems such as th
I guess I should have read all the mail before asking my question. Thanks, Dudley and Tom, for the tip on the USB ports. On the other hand, there seem to be conflicting explanations and experiences h
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 Changing to a USB
You folks may all find this article from NY Times on " Still Wrestling Windows SP2?" useful. It acknowledges the problems with this so-called upgrade and gives step-by-step installation instructions
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 I have some extra stuff for sale. Orion filters
Bob, I watch my Orion's transmitted audio carefully on a scope and I run the mike gain wide open using the TT studio mike or a Heil dual cartridge (4/5) mike, and I never come close to flat topping.
I have read references to interactions between the AGC and the NR settings on the Orion, but they seemed general and did not specify exactly what was observed. This weekend I was working 80M in the t
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

Bob, are Sherwood's data for the FT1KMPs with the 4 KHz Inrad roofing filter installed? 73, Joe Finally, with the new roofing filters forthcoming from INRAD, a bunch of older radios soon are going to
OK, Bob. I wasn't sure. I had ordered one of the 4 Khz filters and was, obviously, interested. 73, Joe Hi Joe No...the Sherwood data is for the stock FT1kMPs. So far as I'm aware there isn't yet any
A better, well written manual is clearly in order. I have recommended this improvement to TenTec on more than one occasion. There may be a generic problem here. Typically, manual preparation in most

John, I've been reconstructing my hard drive on my main computer and have been using alternate computers in the interim. I may have missed some of your messages, but I just downloaded all my mail fro
Rick, your description below about the NR performance on the Orion prompted me to go back to the Doug's and Scott's writeup on Weak Signal DXing, etc. It was my original impression that the NR functi
Actually, Sinisa, I was referring to your FB writeup on the Orion where you recommend backing off on the RF gain until the S-meter drops back about 12 dB(?) or so. It was your first step in optimizin
OK, Grant. While I think I understood the concept of "aggressiveness," I was off track regarding whether it changed its state automatically with changing S/N or one had to help it manually, as I desc
