OK, Eric. I already have a 238, but wanted to upgrade. Tnx anyhow. 73, Joe Have as many tuners as antennas, so one 238 tuner (original version) is surplus. $250 plus shipping. Email if intererested.
Sorry, Eric. I thought that you were a guy I had contacted re 238A. Please ignore previous msg. 73, joe Have as many tuners as antennas, so one 238 tuner (original version) is surplus. $250 plus ship
73, Joe 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. No, I've never recommended
Hello, Bob. I know you're using a Titan 425 there or, at least, were. I am also, but I am unhappy with short delay or hang time on CW even with the QSK set to 100%. When you say you have your amps ke
Carl, one also has to switch the Sub RX VFO (B) to the Main RX (A) in order to tune the transmitting (QSX) frequency and quickly switch back when transmitting, because VFO B is automatically designat
Yup. I see what you're doing. Thanks. 73, Joe With split on, when you transmit you are automatically transmitting on VFO B. Once I have tuned the DX station in with VFO A, I just leave the pod set to
I am using about the roll off on the low side as Grant. Otherwise I sound like Vaughan Monroe on SSB. 73, Joe I am using my S1 mic on a Jupiter and Argonaut V and have received reports, which I confi
I am using Carl's software with the Orion and I find the bandscope extremely useful, particularly on quiet bands like 30M. I never used the Orion's bandscope because it is just too coarse to be effec
Carl, I was about to write you on the 6M transverter and several other topics that I've mentioned previously. First, I had previously asked that future revisions might include a center frequency for
Carl, before I send you on a wild goose chase, I am in error. The sweep works on 6M. However, I wasn't seeing the usual ragged noise baseline that I observe on HF. The sensitivity may also be worse o
Duane, I'm most appreciative for your advice. I just bought this used unit and got it on the air this week. I was about to open it up and go through the tune-up procedure in the manual. It does seem
Duane, I'm using Carl's software with DX4WIN without any problem. No RTTY software though. 73, Joe Hi Carl, You're sure tempting me with your software! But what if I don't have a pod and have no room
I have precisely the same problem with one of my 425's and had also concluded that a meter resistor is the problem. I am also living with it. 73, Joe Hi Marcel: My 425 also indicates 1.8 "Plate Kilov
Buck, I have had that happen to me on a couple of occasions on 15M with high power.. I think it might be a smidgen of RF getting in to the circuitry that causes the problem. Since, for you, it happen
While I am still evaluating it and learning how best to use it, the N4PY Orion control software makes the sweep function much sharper and considerably more useful. Simply double clicking on a peak, p
Good ideas, but how about also putting the AGC parameter controls on the front panel??? 73, Joe Hmmm While we are day dreaming, The Orion is a great platform, I think I'd like a hardware upgrade to t
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 OK...we have relays clicking and/or speakers clicking and/or phone
Congratulations on ur new Orion, George. The furniture investment paid off. 73, Joe Hi, I just received my Orion Monday and have been interfacing it with my main computer and have a question for you
