I am not happy with NR on the OII either.. But it's a great radio.. 73, Lee I have an Eagle and as others can buy an Orion II or any other radio costing uch more, but why not fix the NR of this one o
Well, It seems high to me too, but there is a need for it. Like QRP rigs (Elecraft, TT, Flex guys wanting 100 watts now & then. But, look at the Elecraft 500 watt amp at $2,000!!! WOW, that's too muc
So...that means the new TT amp will work FB with the 1500?? 73, Lee OH, OK, that is good for the design, bad for the manual writer not aking it clear. A lot of times info on external connectors is la
I was told that it is GC, but the original second RX was a little better in that mode..BUT the ham band function was like the Eagle (superb!). 73, Lee Lee Simmonds Summit DCS LLC 260-799-4077 Office
Nope, The actuaal guy at TT that did a lot of the testing told me it is not as good on GC. Can't remember the specifics...but you could contact TT for the details. He told me for SWL, keep the origin
John, I was told by TT that the new 366 second RX was NOT as GOOD for SWL (Non-Ham band) 73, Lee I am thinking of trading in my present Orion II and omni VII for a new loaded with new 2nd tx Orion II
Ray, Even though the KWM-2 is not a good CW transiever (never was designed to be) it is still a super SSB tranceiver. I use mine regularly and to tell the truth...95% of the time it's ALL you need. W
Yes...it'a all about the emission standards, FCC enforcement etc. FCC is not doing the job...no surprise...all they want to do these days is sell frequency's. Also, look at all the crap operations on
Well, Small government?? It's huge and growing daily! I don't blame 'small government' I blame POOR GOVERNMENT. There a several things the federal government should do VERY WELL and they are NOT doin
Yep...use the old KWM-2 regularly...never had any complaints... it is a real pleasure to use. 73, Lee Jim, based on that (which I fully believe), our only recourse is to START EMANDING CLEANER TRANSM
FCC and the radio companys and ARRL caused this...all due to wanting more income. I'll leave it at that. We should do better self policing...cause maybe someday, as they LET it get worse & worse...th
Bob, I sure do think my Orion II s meter is way off after S-9 especially...is that normal for them? Maybe I should actually see what it is with the 8640B sig gen. 73, Lee I seem to believe that most
Ray, I thought the only radios to use electret mic were Icom radios?? 73, Lee FYI, here are the settings I've evolved for the 706 electret mic and v3.028: H/W Mic gain 3.0 dB Front panel mic gain 40
Rick, I see...so what advantage is the electrec mic? Never owned one. 73, Lee Lee, You have to keep in mind the difference between "use" and "ship with". Most radios can use (are compatible with), el
Based on that info..I sure would not buy a 707. Why did TT create a mic with that low output? 73, Lee Generally , but not always. The Collins MM-1 dynamic hand-held mic that I use with my KWM-2 is ra
How would you compare it to a Heil goldline on the wide setting...thay's what I use. Anyone? 73, Lee Because the 707 sounds great if the radio can accommodate it. It worked fine witfh the Orion II v2

Hi gang,Working with my good friend Richard on his Orion I. We have an intermittent 2nd RX....have reseated everything...and it still is intermittent. Thinking it might be the RX board. So, that said
