N4LQ noted "The Orion had QSK in the earlier firmware versions but due to clicking in the sidetone and whatever else, they added a delay in later versions and now QSK is non-existent over about 20 WP
Perhaps little consolation to those afflicted, but I used my Orion with Acom2000A in keying loop1 during SS CW and didn't have a single rig/amp/keying glitch. However in the spirit of full disclosure
Rick commented "Anyway, as I recall, the Ten-Tec mics never had an amplifier." Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the TT 705 has a preamp in the base of the mic which can be powered
What tighter underwear won't cure, a little EQ usually will. Seriously, almost all those wide range mics will sound bassy unless you use some EQ. And unless the rig has some good EQ flexibility inter
With the ARRL 160M contest starting tomorrow, this is probably a good time to encourage all Orion cw users to set the cw rise/fall menu setting at 8-10msec to avoid generating keyclicks. There's an a
No, it's not true. I've always used an external keyer with 8-10msec rise time. Ideally, Ten-Tec should either update the documentation and wpm menu warning or better yet, change the firmware so that
Sergei, my Orion seems to key my Acom 2000A perfectly with v1.372. Sorry to hear of your troubles. 73, Barry N1EU __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape
FWIW, I used to have the ARC fault problem a couple of years back with my FT-1000MP and Acom 2000A. Piotr sent me scope photos of the timing problem with his Omni VI+ and Acom back when he was troubl
The Marshall mic won't work without an external preamp - I believe it requires +48V phantom, not to mention possible EQ requirements. I use a Marshall but have a Behringer VX-2000 and parametric EQ t
"How in the world could this not have shown up in testing? I'm staying where I am untill all this is resolved!" Come on guys, the loss of audio when rotating BW is such a minor glitch. Just rotate th
"Ideas?" Using my Heil Proset, I adjust AF Gain to half scale and set RF Gain so that I can just hear band noise. That's all there is to it. Although I have the narrower cw roofing filters installed,
The Orion xmit audio is fine with the Heil HC5. The Orion is really quite easy to setup for ssb xmit and the monitor does quite a good job so you can just make adjustments while transmitting into a d
What is this, the X-Files, parallel universes, karma or ??? I guess if I had the experience of Tom or Eric I might feel the same way. But I don't and it's hard to reconcile the conclusions they reach
Ah, the 7800 owners are just a bunch of girlie men that are afraid of complaining. 73, Barry N1EU __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape Internet Servic
Or just rich fat cats who lack the technical expertise of Ten-Tec owners and don't even realize how bad their radios are. 73, Barry N1EU ______________________________________________________________
Uh oh. Here we go again. Exactly what problem does my 1.372 Orion have? Ah, forget it. Have we beat this to death yet? Probably not . . . 73, Barry N1EU ______________________________________________
Right, we're talking about m-i-n-o-r stuff like N1JM said. Tom, I know you've had your problem interfacing with the Titan III but I really wish you wouldn't reach for the fuel when Eric cries "fire"!
John, could you elaborate on what the "CW BW issue" is? BTW, there's no reason to run your menu AGC Threshold so high if you're using 1.372, because that will set the lower limit of the RF Gain contr
If anyone has a schematic of the Orion subreceiver that actually shows the 45Mhz and 450Khz i.f. circuity, could you please email it to me? The downloadable PDF schematic package doesn't seem to actu
Thanks for all the responses - I'm all set with the subreceiver schematic. 73 & Happy Holidays to All, Barry N1EU __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape
