You are correct. It's because having the most reliable connectors on a radio is not nearly as powerful a marketing tool as a flashy display with a gazillion features that nobody actually needs. But s
If there is a procedure for doing a gain alignment BY BAND, I'd be very interested in seeing it. I would like to be able to "normalize" the RF output at 100W on all bands if possible. 73 Art, N4UC
I've always known the HWNB was there, just never used it, until now. Thought I would try it just to see what all the discussion was about. So I turned it on while listening to a strong pileup on 40M
I've had the same issues, either using the serial or LPT port. Just too much stuff going on for my old computer I guess. The main benefit that interests me about using winkey with N1MM is being able
Unless you want to have the logging software actually key the Orion for CW, then nothing more is required than the serial cable already in place between the computer and Orion which is used to upload
Bob, your basic premise is correct, that it all comes down to the bottom line when deciding the show calendar for the year. But I might point out that here at the Huntsville Hamfest there are no unio
Just a note to follow up on the repair service recently completed on my Orion 565: Thanks to all of the staff at TT for the great service experience that I recently had with my Orion 565. First of al
I haven't read every post in this thread, but I might mention that one not-so-minor consideration these days is the sales tax you have to pay on a purchase at a hamfest. Tax on a $3000 rig will be at
Bill, The same thing happens once or twice a year in my Orion 565. The problem in my case is that one of the internal relays hasn't closed "enough" and is left with a dry contact closure. In other wo
I can't argue one bit with what Bob says here, but I will add that another rig that you might consider is a well preserved Orion 565. When I was looking to replace my 940 I decided that I wanted to l
I operated from a 2F station this weekend where the fone rig was a K3 and the cw rig was an OMNI 6+. The antennas were no more than 75 ft apart, a ground mounted vertical and a low dipole at about 20
Point well taken. And a very possible explanation. It was the first time that I had ever seen such a dramatic difference in performance of two excellent receivers. But you are correct, I was ASSUMING
I assume that the default settings are defined in the firmware, but in my case they do not correspond to the actual meter readings for each step. In my case, they are much stingier. When I set each o
I assume O2 would be the same circuitry, but not sure. The pot that Holger describes is directly above the AUDIO button on the top of the front panel on the 565. It's wasn't labelled before, but it i
I have sent a message to TT service asking that exact question. but haven't heard anything yet. But, I have been playing with it enough to know that there are several interrelated parameters involved
Hmmm...After re-flashing the firmware I find that the S-meter settings in the "secret menu" are unchanged from what I entered myself. If they are not loaded by the firmware where do they come from? D
