My N4PY Orion control program works with the Orion and Orion II and steppir at the same time. You use the steppir Y cable to allow the steppir controller to just listen on the serial port. My N4PY co
The purpose of a receive only antenna jack is to allow you to use a different antenna for receiving than transmitting. When there is a lot of atmospheric noise such as thunder crashing, it often help
If you are listening to a 3khz wide SSB signal at 14.150 mhz, the center of the signal will be at 14.15015. This is true because we hams use the suppressed carrier frequency as the frequency for the
I don't know if there is a menu option to disable the ARGO V transmitter or not. But there is definitely a software command to do it. My N4PY software does use this feature with the "Xmit Disable" bu
My software also now offers a main/sub calibration. I am finding my Orion II shows a consistent 6 hertz difference between the 2 receivers. My software now perfectly corrects this when in diversity m
There is a pot inside the power supply to set the trip point. The real question is how much current is the supply putting out when it trips? It could be the radio is not efficient and needs more curr
Yes, try to update the firmware to the latest version from the tentec site rfsquared. Even if you are already at this version, see if you can load that version again. If you can't get the loader to r
You might be able to ask TT about this. In years past, they would do a board swap and just send you the new board. 73, Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays, NC 28635 -- Origina

You can cut out the louvers themselves on the air intake. This does reduce the fan noise some. I did that and also added a 100 ohm resistor in series with the fan motor to slow it down some. This wor
This problem was fixed with the O2. It looks like the manual needs updating. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays, NC 28635 -- Original Message -- From: <ac9s@mchsi.com> To: <t
It is essentially a Jupiter without the front panel controls. But the firmware updates are not the same. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays, NC 28635 -- Original Message -- F
You want keying loop 1 always turned on to use the amp. You have it wired correctly. The amp should key only when you key the radio. Also, there is a filter required to use the Acom 2000 with the Ori
I added a 100 ohm 5 watt resistor in series with the fan motor. I also removed the cover grating bars that were in front of the fan to increase the amount of air flow. These 2 changes quieted my cent
The Delta has always been a 100 watt output radio. Back in the 1980's and earlier, it was common to refer to input power to the finals instead of output power. The Delta can run as high as 200 watts
I have a full function N4PY Orion control program that will control everything that is possible to control from your computer. It makes using the Orion very easy. I run my Orion II with it exclusivel
It would be the same as the Orion. Just select "Orion". The Orion II and Orion have the same serial command set. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Bell Mountain Hays, NC 28635 -- Original Mess
Yes, that is the way the Orion II and Orion version 2 work now. The notch not being is the AGC loop is being worked on by tentec. I hope they can also improve the NR function and get it back to the V
