I think Bernard's comments about the point the roofing filters are kicked in is a very good one. I was just doing some listening on SSB with the 2400 hertz DSP filter and switching back and forth wit
All the Omni series receivers had a 9 mhz first IF just like the Orion. That's why you can use the Omni filters as roofing filters in the Orion. The difference is the Only filtering is still very sha
I used to run two 250 hertz filters in my Omni V. It worked very well. With PBT, you can get the effective passband as narrow as you want this way. This helps the signal to noise ratio for very weak
I use the UP-X function as Lee has described in my N4PY Orion software to initially get split set up on the frequency. I then switch my pod to tune VFO B which is the transmit frequency. When the DX
With split on, when you transmit you are automatically transmitting on VFO B. Once I have tuned the DX station in with VFO A, I just leave the pod set to tune VFO B. The only setting I then play with
By using my N4PY software, the audio routing is instantly changed for two different configurations with one button. The program just makes it fast and simple to swap between the main receiver in both

I run the Acom 1000 with my Orion. I use the TXOut line of the Orion to the Acom key in line. I then connect the Acom key out to my Orion TXEN. This results in perfectly timed full QSK with the Orion
Yes, you have specified the main differences. Because the Paragon II has general coverage, it has a little noisier synthesizer then the Omni VI, but still not bad. Carl Moreschi N4PY Franklinton, Nor
The display frequency on the Paragon II reads correctly in all modes. Carl Moreschi N4PY Franklinton, North Carolina n4py@earthlink.net -- Original Message -- From: "n4lq" <n4lq@iglou.com> To: <tente
The Omni VI first IF filter (9 mhz) is fixed. The second IF (6.3 mhz) is there specifically for PBT. It shifts while the first IF does not, thereby creating PBT. The 7800 roofing filter is fixed no m
Merle, Actually, the Orion does do 10 meter FM. Carl Moreschi N4PY Franklinton, NC -- Original Message -- From: "Merle Bone" <merlebone@charter.net> To: <tentec@contesting.com> Sent: Saturday, August

Tommy, The hiss you describe on the Orion can be easily eliminated. It is caused by the AGC in the Orion trying to bring all signals no matter how weak to the same volume level. The threshold control
Computer logging is definitely possible with the Paragon II. The Paragon II uses an Icom CIV computer interface just like the Omni VI. The main difference between the PI and PII is the PII has band r

Duane, My N4PY software does not make the band scope on the Orion any better. In fact, the software has no effect on it at all. What my software has is its own bandscope independent of the Orion hard
