I have had good experiences with my 02 noise blankers. I think the DSP one seems to work better than the hardware one. That makes sense since the hardware is broadband and sits before the DSP. 73, Jo
I'll check that out. Along the same lines though I notice my two recievers dont' sound about the same. My main sound bassey and my sub sounds tinny. Anyone elese? John NA9U
I know we have had a bit discussion on frequency stability. I was reading the old brochure from my Kenwood TS-520S a very populare mid-range priced rig in its day (1977). "Frequency Stability - Withi
Before I got the Orion II I was greatly disappointed that it did not have a memory tuner. Now that I have it I see that it is probably irrelevant and in some cases advantageous to not have memories.
There is now a third review of the Orion II on e-ham.net: http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/5564 Another 5/5!! Though eham tends to be a love fest or hate fest you can glean quite a bit from interpo

Mid-February is when they expect to begin shipping the batch from the second run. I never got any notice of that, just heard it word of mouth. 73, John, NA9U

Hooking the coax to the open wire feeder presents a significant impeadance mismatch. Most open wire is 300 to 600 ohms and coax is 50 to 75 ohms. This would negatively impact power transfer. Since yo
I just ran out and got a set of these at my local CVS $14.99 (Chicago metro area). They are marketed under a brand name of TDE Systems. They perform and sound like the Bose headphones, which is quite
For those of you that have bought or ordered the Orion II, which optional filters did you buy with them? I ordered all three but wonder if that is money well spent. Without the rig I'll be playing th
