21. Re: [TenTec] ORION QRQ Performance (long) (score: 1)
Author: Martin Ewing <martin@aa6e.net>
Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2004 10:40:27 -0400
5B4AGN's results with high-speed CW are fascinating to me, not because I ever expect to work over 40 wpm CW, or even 30 wpm, but because of what it says about the Orion's design. There's been a lot o

Yes, except the QSK Delay adjustment seems to work like "VOX Hang". At 100% setting, it holds Tx mode for maybe 0.5 second. That's what I'd call semi-breakin. It would be interesting to check QRQ in

I'm not sure. You may have noticed: the Orion is a black box! :-) That's one reason this reflector is so busy. There was precious little mystery about my previous rig, the TS-520S. The schematic said

I have the Orion schematics, but many important functions are hidden away inside the CPU -- Xilinx & Sharc code, etc. That's very "black" because they don't publish the firmware source. I wish they w

25. [TenTec] Steppir vs Orion (score: 1)

Just got my SteppIR up yesterday. All is well, except... Hooked the Orion serial port to the Steppir data in using Steppir-supplied "K2" cable. Set everything up according to manual, I think. No comm

The SteppIR cable "K2" has Orion-Steppir connections: 2-2, 3-3, 5-5, shell-shell, and pins 7-9 jumpered at SteppIR side. This accords with the Steppir document at http://www.steppir.com/pdf/serial%20

That's an interesting thought. How would a transceiver know or care about your rotator setting? The SteppIR frequency can be set via your transceiver, of course. I suppose you are asking about comput

Mark has a great point. Frequency step is clearly a "VFO" property, but it is assigned to the main/sub receiver. You might (or might not) say the same for RIT and XIT. Anything that sets or modifies

Maximum speed = minimum speed = 57.6 kb/sec. For some reason TT did not see fit to put this in the Orion spec sheet. It's not in the Orion manual, but it is in the Programmer's Reference Guide. That

When checking the S-meter, be sure that your preamp is ON and the attenuators are OFF. It also helps to have the antenna buttons set right! I get Q5 copy through my dummy load sometimes, but the mete
