If they can afford a $10,000 radio I guess it's expected that options will be high. A Lot of us (I believe) think $4200 is a lot of money for a radio. I guess I just expected with the advertising of
If you tune real slow the sweep seems to keep updating OK. If you tune even moderately fast it stops updating the screen. It is a pretty good sweep, very functional, but it stops. Knowing something a
Grant, Douglas.... Very nice work! Now today I am going to try out that scenario on 20 as well (lately seems like the band of choice for DX) RF gain full throttle.... Airspeed 140, flaps 40, gear dow
EXACTLY, ok, let's see here... isn't the Orion supposed to be a contest radio? Yes, it is already a great contest radio IMHO. Just needs some additional tweeking. I have confidence in TT, that a solu
Joe, what that means is that the firmware just doesn't update the screen during fast tuning. The data (signals) is there no problem, and is available to other SW programs (Carls included). Updating t
Yes, my real issue is hunt & pounce, as an example. Split DX. VFO A on DX's RX Freq. VFO B to look for the Freq. the folks are calling him on ...up 5-10 go back & forth with RX Main set to VFO A then
Merle, Yes, I agree all these things are real problems and need to be fixed. I am assuming (yeah, I know what it means) that these issues will be fixed. I love the operational aspects and the archite
Grant, Doesn't help me at all as I use step size 10, tuning rate fast. Don't know any other way to get good SSB tuning as 100 step size is too much to tune well. Thanks for the research! 73, Lee
Duane, Yep, I agree, but sometimes it works out OK. In the last DX contest, most of the time (sometimes those idiots would just keep calling) only one person was talking to the DX at a time. When I w
Grant, It makes complete sense, as I'm sure that the encoder pulses are what is a higher priority than sweep update is. As long as lots of em are coming into the CPU, more masking of updating the swe
Rick, Unless you have a full top notch test equipment lab, I would send it back for the mods. They will also re-align things, in fact alignment may be necessary with these mods? 73, Lee
Grant, Amen,,, In the end my needs are small. Hi Hi! I want NR to quiet the RX, let the signal come on out if possible, not becracly sounding (dsp sounding noise) especially when signal is not there,
Brent, Thanks for commenting... I never went to 1.372, as I heard about other problems and 1.371 was working pretty well for me. Are you running either Orion with V2 or OII with VII now? If you are a
Buck, I agree. I am not an electrical engineer, I don't want to be one (well maybe when I was younger!). BUT, you don't have to be to know when what you had before worked better than what you have no
Bill, Yes, I found that out some time ago, as a matter of fact I beleive Grant told me that way back because I complained of the sound being 'Not Crisp'. Bill, Thanks for the reminder! Now I almost a
