Interesting comment; I though the Orion II was specifically built for left handed cw operators!! Being right handed, if it were not for the Model 302 encoder/keypad, I would have my arms "crossed" on
Well, my O II quit right before a contest weekend that I had hoped to pick up a few new ones. Called Ten Tec and upon describing the symptoms, was told it was most likely two capacitors on the power
I don't know why you would want to do AFSK with the Orion II? When you go to FSK mode you immediately have the filters set up correctly for RTTY; and additionally you don't have to worry about overdr
Jim, I am kind of curious as to why you needed the Top Ten band decoder with the Orion? When I had a Yausu FT-1000D and then a Mark V, I also had one of the Top Ten decoders to do the same thing you
Jim, OK, I think I understand what you were doing, you were using the Top Ten decoder to furnish the voltage for the relays in the DX Engineering box. When I designed my switching network, I built a
Jim, I wouldn't think you should have too much trouble finding someone to buy it. Not only is the convenience factor an issue, but it saves a bunch of money on coax and you only need one coax coming
Yaesu radios have output the band information in a BCD format (I believe) that is not very useful until it is decoded to indivdual outputs for each band. The TT decoder does just that, giving you the
Sounds great that Walt will make this new version available to ten new "beta testers" (if you didn't want to be, you now will be). Does anybody have Walt's phone number so I can give him a call and g
John, I bought my O2 when they first came out and the only repair I have had is the cap(s) on the power board. I called Ten Tec and explained what happened and the symptoms. Whom ever I talked to sai
Greg, There is nothing "wrong" with the radio. There are features that could be improved upon, and that is what all the "bitching and moaning" is about. One is the NB, there are certainly radios that
Does anyone know if the this jack is grounded during transmit or otherwise disconnected from the receiver? I took a look at the schematic and I see there are some relays in line, but I am not sure wh
My question is how many feel they did not work K5D because TenTec had the audacity to release the new version AFTER K5D went QRT. I know my failure to work them on 12M had to be related in some way t
I have had my O2 on pretty much 24/7 since the firmware update came out (installed it the first day with zero problems. I haven't checked out all the reported "glitches", but I will say that I have n
Just my two cents worth. I have been running color 7 (which is a lot of red) and as of yet (knock on wood) to observe the red sceen on either the waterfall or spectrum. The only abnormal thing I have
Take a look at the RigExpert Standard or the Navigator by US Interface. They are the two top of the line ones and have a sound card specific for amateur radio applications built in. _________________
Make sure you have MMTTY set up correctly in the Misc setup and that you have the correct soundcard selected in the soundcard setup menu. I think the Tx Port in the Misc setup has to be on Sound?? I
Jack, If you are going to operate RTTY, I would highly suggest you "connect" the red and black cables and forget about the soundcard for AFSK. The O2 is much better suited for FSK RTTY; and in fact w
Bob, No doubt that other digital modes are highly reliable and in many cases are better than RTTY; however, it depends on what your interests are within the hobby. For a DXer (like myself), I see ver
Doug, I am not sure when the started; but if you don't receive a satisfactory answer on here, since you installed one in your radio, it might be easiest to take a quick look inside your friends radio
Pretty easy to do. I would HIGH RECOMMEND you visit the following website www.aa5au.com/rtty He does an outstanding job of helping a new person get started using the MMTTY program. I don't think many
