So, what make/model filter do you use on the Orion II? To kill that darn high frequency hiss. 73, Lee That's where I find my passive speaker filter shines. It passes no audio section noise and no IF
Ray, In this case it was a pretty weak signal. I cold not quite copy his call on the OII, I tried everything on the OII to get it....RF gain, AGC threshhold, attenuator with/without different RF gain
Fred Why not pick up a Halli set again...it's great fun along with the high tech. stuff. I will tell you that IMHO 'sometimes' they do work better than the new stuff. Mine looks & works like Bill Hal

Selecting a TXCVR s MUCH more difficult than that web page...Even though it is very hepful. Features, ergos, just plain do you really enjoy using it...are very important. I would want to try a Eagle
