A perfect example of a situation where you really do need a narrower roofing filter is when weak dx is cq'ing "1 up" on the low bands and you want to be able to hear the dx despite very strong caller
Why not connect your Beverage through a wattmeter to a dummy load and measure the power dissipated while your transmitting at full power into your transmit antenna. You could then calculate the volta
You might need to put a voltmeter across the dummy load if your wattmeter can't read low power levels. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Meet the all-new My Yahoo! - Try it today! htt
Actually, I feel the same way. I'll buy a new T-T rig when TT leaves off the inferior subreceiver . . . and adds a second main receiver! No need here for any form of a band scope either, just two sup

I'm amazed at the Orion's ability to go very narrow and maintain readability on ssb (dialing in +PBT of course) in crowded contest condx. Curious if there would be any interest among other Orion cont

As far as I can tell, what you're observing Toby is the current normal behavior of the Orion's 500hz roofing filter. 73, Barry N1EU "I have noticed that on 20 mtrs with all the roofing filters turned
Toby, I know of at least two Orion owners who observed the same 500hz roofing filter behavior you described, varying with strong vs. weak signals. I don't know if it's a function of the DSP gain algo
WA4OEJ commented "I have difficulty copying SSB signals that are less than 1.8 kHz." During ssb contests, I throttle down to 1650hz and dial in about +200 PBT to improve intelligibility. 73, Barry N1
I tend to agree with W4BQF on the 2.4Khz 10-pole Inrad as being unnecessary. However, the 1.8Khz filter could be helpful if the rig is used for ssb contesting. 73, Barry N1EU ________________________

The Orion certainly needs help to get the subreceiver quickly set up when you need to use it in dx'ing and contesting. I welcome the changes to "A>B". Alternately, a front panel button that would ins
