I wrote the firmware for the Paragon II. The firmware resides on the Microprocessor chip not the RAM/ROM/RTC chip. That chip contains all the non-volatile memory. The memory persists because of the b
It's the trimmers on each band crystal. They are difficult to change. If you are using my N4PY Omni V.9 chip, there's a way to calibrate each band from the front panel without even removing the cover
Yes, the chip computes the difference between the real and displayed frequency and displays an offset amount to correct for any band crystal errors. If you want the frequency to display correctly, yo
Remove the front panel and remove all the connectors, spray them with a good contact cleaner, then plug and unplug them several times. That has fixed several Orion's lately. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Li
Also, this could easily be caused by one of the pins on the cable behind the front panel not making good contact. I have seen this many times on different Orion's and you can get almost any symptom f
Have you done all the resets? 1) Power off Orion. 2) Power On holding the VFO B LCK button. 3) Continue holding LCK button until the radio says "Battery Failure". 4) Power off Orion. 5) Power on hold
When a program finishes, the comport is automatically released by the operating system whether the program released it or not. However, all the last settings are still in the comport. When a new prog
My N4PY Orion software will interface the Orion and Tokyo HL-1.5 amp very well. You must use software to do this. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays, NC 28635 www.n4py.com On 12/10/2012 5:42

Make sure RTS/CTS hardware flow control is selected in Logger32. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays, NC 28635 www.n4py.com I use an Orion II since one month now and I had problem with Logger
Yes, you are correct. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays, NC 28635 www.n4py.com Thanks and 73 Mike W2IY _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.
I offer a chip for the Paragon I that makes it almost identical to the Paragon II. I only have chips left for the later Paragon I that used a microprocessor chip that started with V4. I wrote the fir
I don't think 1 khz separation will work when SSB signals are 3 khz wide. Now if one goes up 1.5 khz and the other down 1.5 khz , that will work. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays, NC 28635
My best guess is the cable connections behind the Orion front panel need cleaning. There are a lot of microprocessor cable connections there and you can get almost any symptom if one of the connectio
My N4PY Orion program sets the mode to either UCW or LCW depending on which one you have defined as the your default CW mode. LCW is the normal default. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays, N
It means that your current in the finals is very near the point where the radio will shut down. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays, NC 28635 www.n4py.com On 3/13/2013 10:09 PM, John Molenda
A DSP speech processor is not an RF clipper. In DSP you are working with signals that are all numbers. You can modify the numbers according to some clever algorithm and increase the average talk powe
