Hank, I think you are taking this way too "personally and/or seriously." It is a hobby. I think the people here are trying to understand some "unexpected" operational results in Beta software (On the
"Don't read QST or eHam reviews. Learn to read ARRL's Expanded Test Reports. The real unvarnished data is there if you know how to interpret it." I have to agree with Bill. The "subjective data" is a

Does anyone know if the Receive antenna input on the Orion is disconnected from the receiver during transmit? If so, does it reconnect when the receiver is turned on when the transmitter is in QSK mo
I wonder if anyone might know how to change the Radio.INI file in DXBase2004 so that it will set the "PBT" when it moves the radio to a spot. I'd like to get it to set the "PBT" differently for CW an
That wasn't what I was saying. Yes, sure the 1.8 KHz roofing filter is useful in contests or just 75M at night :-) .........I work a lot of SSB and normally manually switch in the roofing filters rat

Mario, I really don't make much of a distinction between which of the CPUs are involved in performing the function digitally. While it is true that the general purpose processor has a different instr

I am running 1.371 and don't see any problem with the roofing filter control software. It sounded like, from his last note, that Mark has his working also. I think, at this point, it looks like there
I think Tom, W7QF, made some excellent observations with respect to "contest performance" of the Orion. I think there are a couple of other comments that may be of use. I think a useful way to think
Taylor, More Data points on 1.37: I have been using Sweep without any problems, although issues with Sweep have often been coupled with other activities going on simultaneously. I've been using "DX s
I checked further, with different settings, and it appears that LSB mode is transferred in either direction, B>A and A>B, but USB mode does not transfer. Looks like a possible problem. Merle Bone W0E
I have a new Orion on order that should arrive soon. My hat is off to Ten-Tec for planned release 1.370! Looks like a grand-slam hit! Thanks & 73, Merle Merle Bone 12549 Bickford Dr. St. Louis, MO 63
If you're planning to build out a full interface for the AUX/IO connector on the Orion, check out the BUXCOMM 8D cable. It has an 8 pin DIN connector prewired on one end, with the other end untermina
I just wanted to let other Orion owners know that I completed a Rig-Blaster Plus interface to the Orion today. I bought the 4 Pin to 8 Pin conversion kit with the Rig-Blaster Plus. The jumper drawing
I have an Orion on order and want to get a set of headphones (No microphone) that work really well with it. I am using 8 ohm Yeasu stereo headphones with my FT1000MP. I would appreciate any comments
