I used to collect info on the birdy reducing mods and still have some info up on my Web site at http://n1eu.tripod.com/Mods/birdiesmod.htm - I've never tried any of them myself, so don't ask me, etc.
Two comments Dick: 1. SM7YEA's rig is an Omni VI+, not an Orion. I was in communication with Piotr throughout his troubleshooting work with his Acom amplifier which was a couple of years ago I believ
Sorry to hear about the muting prob John, but surprised at your reboot cycle time. My Orion completes a boot up with Master Reset and User1 restore and is operational in 30 seconds total. 73, Barry N

A couple of comments: 1. I briefly auditioned a P3 on cw and thought I might have been hearing what Steve described previously, in terms of noise outside the passband. I'm not sure about it, but woul
Yes. The schematic of the audio output is designated 81917_6 in the A7 folder. It clearly indicates the AuxOut bypassing the Audio PA chip/volume control. 73, Barry N1EU _____________________________
I didn't understand Bill's calculated superiority of the Orion until I realized he omitted the two minus signs from the Pro3's figures. It should have read -17dBm and -18.8dBm respectively. 73, Barry
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 ______________________________________________
