For you folks getting Orion II's, what have you done with your Orion I (if you had one)? Did you send it in to Ten Tec months ago (as a trade-in) or are you just now sending it in as you learned the
Has anyone traded into Ten Tec an Orion I without an AT for the O II over the last few weeks? Mark _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lis
I just received one of the traded-in Orion I's last week from Ten Tec (that someone traded in for an Orion II). I really love the radio so far! One thing I was wondering about is the monitor funtion.
I am looking for Ten Tec filter for my Orion I. It is the 250hz filter (model 219). Send replies to my email address including shipping to 37660 (Kingsport, TN). Thanks, Mark KA4ICK _________________
Update so far. Loaded the beta code on the original Orion. Did a master reset. Immediately, the display is much dimmer and the contrast must be set to about 42. The sweep display works great. Mine ha
See my previous note dealing with V2 beta upgrade. I went and loaded the beta again just to make sure the TX audio was truly different. V2 beta does change the TX audio; I bypassed my W2IHY equipment
Did some on the air testing with my friend who also upgraded to new beta firmware. Again, I am using the W2IHY equipment. I did turn my TX EQ down to 0 (instead of the normal -6) and the mic gain dow
I have been playing with the new firmware version with the Orion I. I use the W2IHY box with a Studio One mic (even the Kenwood 870 guys compliment the audio of the Orion). In the past, I had the mic
I got the chance to see the new mics at the Charlotte Hamfest this weekend. Ten Tec was among the manufactuers represented at the Charlotte hamfest along with Yaesu, Kenwood, MFJ, Ameritron, and Alin
Anyone been playing with new settings for the Orion I since you have loaded the newest firmware? I am interested in your settings for the TX EQ, the W2IHY settings, and how you have the EQ Plus set i
Mine does the same thing. I have even noticed not a dead reciever, but a "desensitized" receiver. When switching between headphones and external speaker, I always just turn off/on the rig when using
Anyone have experience with this receiver? How does it compare to the sub rcvr on the orion or jupiter? how does it compare to other shortwave receivers? Any gotchas? Thanks, Mark ___________________
Make sure this is not RF. Maybe this is the same power supply you have used with other 100 watt equipment in the past. Does it do it on all bands? Just wanted to make sure this gets brought into the
I run 800 watts into a Carolina Windom. I have had some RF issues when using a Jupiter, Orion I, and even my old radios (Icom 746PRO and 756PRII). I find there seems to never be a silver bullet that
I love to work CW and want to make sure I have a clean signal. I had heard I need to increase my CW rise/fall time to prevent keyclicks. I have mine set for the max in the menu to 10ms. I usually do
I have asked this question early on, with the initial release of v 2 firmware for the Orion I, but never got a reply. Now that time has passed, has anyone found a good setting for the W2IHY 8 bander,
I did not get a specific response from anyone who is using my same audio set-up on the Orion Classic. Again, my current audio chain is a Heil PR-40, W2IHY 8 band equalizer, and the W2IHY EQPLUS. I am
OK, I am almost using the same settings for V1 except for the 50 and 100. For V1 I set them at 6 and 0. In V1 I have the mic gain set at 50 and the TX EQ is flat. I also run the bandwidth at 3000 and
One other thing I have read on previous posts is that b3 and b5 also might have a problem with the front-end filters not kicking in at the correct BW. I have used b3 and b5, but do not know how to te
