I understand the Orion 2 optional auto antenna tuner does NOT have memories. The Orion transmits 20 watts when "Tune" is depressed. With all the wonderful options and capabilities of the Orion 2 due
I am a first time buyer of Tentec, ordered an Orion 2 several weeks ago. That's after reading all the ARRL reviews, eHam and contesting.com comments! Quite frankly, I was impressed by the openness of
Just ordered two covers for my Orion 2 and FT 1000 D from Stan@radiocovers.com Looking at remarks at eham.com, sounds like radiocovers is the best bet. Several other vendors of covers are no longer i
George...go to arrl.org and you will see in the upper right a box for ARRL Reviews, but you have to be a member...no problem, I think membership is free if you already subscribe to QST. Click on the
Peter Dahl has a transformer for the Titan III in their catalog, has anyone gone that route? If so, why did you select the Dahl, who installed it, ease of installation, and results. Several Centurion
See Page 19 for an explanation on how to increase power output during tuning (Version 2 566 Manual Part 74410). I haven't tried it. 73....John Bescher, n4dxi --Original Message-- From: n8gz@cox.net T
Kim: Had my Orion 2 for several months now. It's a wonderful transceiver. Even if you just use the default settings the transceiver will perform extraordinarily. But it has lots of flexiblity and cap
Bob...I have an FT1000D and an Orion 2. If you are using the transceivers barefoot, the FT1000D transmits 200 watts, that's twice that of the Orion 2. It makes a big difference. I can raise weak dx w
Francisco...I have enjoyed my Orion II for almost a year now.? The ability to load new versions of firmware is significant.? It's almost like getting a new transceiver and it beats sending the transc
A simple solution is the MFJ 464 Code Reader with its built in keyer. It has 4 message memories, enough for most contests. It is bestreceiving strong, fast cw stations, a great help to me in contests
I don't know about the Paragon but most modern transceivers have a self limiting feature; if high swr, the feature minimizes rf being transmitted thus protecting itself.? For brief moments, a high sw
I have noticed the same thing with my O2 however I am wondering if its a monitor problem with the O2 because the other station didn't seem to miss my call (the N missing in N4DXI).? It happens appare
I thought it was just a fluke, an odd occurance.? It has happened about once every 50 times but it has never been a problem for the receiving station so I thought maybe it was transmitted, just not e
Another option: use an MFJ 464 Keyer/Reader. Connect to the output of a speaker and it deciphers CW, the faster sent, the better it reads. The MFJ 464 has 4 memories: store your call and exchange, fo
Even though V2041 is Beta, I haven't heard anyone installing then having so many problems that they had to revert to an older version. V20471 sounds pretty good per these emails, I'm going to install
I find setting the hard noise filter makes a big difference with my Orion 2. You have to hold in the NR button until the filter logo appears. Takes a lot of noise out of 20 and 40 meters SSB. 73....J
John Like electric fences, tractors, 2 stroke chain saws....seems like I'm surrounded by them. Then again, I live in a very rural area. The Orion 2 hardware noise blanker works most of the time durin
James, Sounds like a relay but even so, shouldn't make a "racket". I think there is also a relay for the fan in the Centurion, it's very audible in my Centurion, but it's infrequent.. Certainally not
Doug....I'm guessing, I do not have info on 610 but to have my Orion 2 keyed by a logging program such as N1MM, I had to assemble a Winkeyer kit. ?Now I can either type on my PC keyboard or depress F
I installed the beta firmware on my Orion 2 several weeks ago without any problems. The spectrum display has improved yet still has a few distractions: red shadows. On the other hand, no lockups or s
