Thanks to both of you. It should have been straightforward but for some reason I wasn't having any luck. This helps a lot. 73, Art N4UC The information in the manual for adjusting the alc level with

Is it my imagination or are we beginning to reach the limit of the design life for Orions? All of a sudden it seems that the number of emails from people having strange problems with Orions has incre

I shipped my Orion to TenTec via UPS Ground yesterday. It was picked up at 4:30 Central time here in Huntsville, and was signed for at TT this afternoon at 1:57 pm Eastern time, 20 hours later. Assum
It's about as close to a wash with my Orion 565 as I could imagine, certainly no differences that could be noticed in actual use. Where it places on Sherwoods table depends on which parameter you sor
Rick, for many years we used a 40M DL dimensioned as you describe at our field day 40 cw station and was always good for 800-1000 Q's on 40cw. We did not however go to the trouble of using a matching
