Harry, I use ant 2 all the time. Ant 1 is a dipole, Ant 2 is a vertical and I have it constantly set up this way. I do not experience anything like what you describe below regardless of which antenna
Yes, I do it on CW quite a bit. I'll hit the tune button usually but sometimes I don't worry about it and just go. I have not seen any foldback at that level of SWR. I won't go beyond 3:1 though. 73,
This is an existing problem on the O2 that has not been addressed yet. I sent it to ditsnbits in late February and have not heard either. Report it, the more the merrier. 73, John NA9U
That is strange. This problem as been around since I got my Orion V2.029. It is not unique to 2.032. If its a bug it should happen on all rigs though. Are you sure you duplicated the steps? If so, go
I have had days where I can't make the problem happen. Not really sure why but I think it is a sequence thing. I am still of the belief that this is a bug (or feature if you come from the software wo
I never gotten a bad audio report on my O2 nor have I heard bad audio on any O2 I have communicated with. So I am not sure where this is coming from. My own observation of this issues is quite ironic
I was looking at the Harris 2kw digital unit. With the conversions to analog the price was in that general ballpark. Certainly to have that broadcast quality audio makes all the cost and aggrevation
Dude, I don't mean to flame but where have you been? This is a hate fest. People are endlessly finding fault with the Orion then disparage it ad nausea until a new "fault" pops up. (I know everyone w
I had pretty bad case of RF getting into my headphones on frequencies from 20m and below. But I did not originally attribute it to the Orion because when I transmit full power into a dummy load it go
The Weaver method is sometimes called the third method of generating SSB. Phasing and filtering being the other two. In a weaver you down shift the baseband signal so that the center is at DC and the
No 2.032 does not remember tuner settings when changing bands or rebooting. It is not a memory tuner. Frankly I like that. A memory tuner I used to have would set itself at some sub-optimal settings
OK, just to keep a running list: 1) The NR does not work 2) The O2 cannot be used on phone because the audio is unintelligable 3) The DSP does not work DSP seems to work fairly well on mine but I am
I have been talking to a guy over the last few weeks that was going to buy an Orion II. He told me last night that after reading the posts on this reflector he was no longer going to buy one because
It depends on your definition of "fine" or if you meant perfect, then no, of course not. However there is a difference between discussing the radios operations and leaving the non-Orion owners the im
It would help if people that report measured data do so with measures of central tendency. Sample size, mean and standard deviation. Then one could easily see where a specific set of measurements fal
