Talked to the factory about MARS coverage this morning. Appears to have been an oversight in the firmware. Doug said he would post a flash update later today providing 10Khz additional coverage at th
The filtering seems to work extremely well. It took a while to figure out the effect and use for the HI/LOW cut control (a bit different that the PBT on my now gone IC-781), but I found some situati
I need some help. The Orion manual is not very lucid on QSK connections. I presume the workings are similar to the Omni, etc., but since this is my first T-T radio, I'm not up to speed. My AL-1200 ha
Radio gets as far as showing "C C=000" in the display, then I get an error message on the PC that says "communication with the radio has failed". I'm using a staight thru RS-232 cable. Do I maybe nee
Thanks for all of the replys to my previous question on this subject. I've verified that the QSK-5PC PIN diode board in the AL-1200 is properly wired to handle the handshake, and as soon as I get the
Hauled the radio and the power supply out to the office, and tried a different computer. Updating right now. Must be something screwed up in my laptop. grant

The AL-1200 does support the key loop stucture and provides the necessary handshaking. It's working perfectly with the Orion's keying loop. The fact that I had a mind meld with a rock while initiall
Been playing with it all day. Too busy for email. Had it on AM this afternoon with some of the local AM group, through the amp at max legal power. Works really really well. In fact, tuneup is much s
Tried sveral times to get into the net this afternoon, but could barely copy net control, and I'm sure he couldn't hear me in the mayhem. Too close, I guess. Seems a lot of people were asking about t
The folks from LDG saw my post earlier about the Orion tuner and filled me in on the situation re memory. "At this time, the tuner that LDG currently supplies for the Orion does not support memory tu
Yes, I tried that last week. Called to make sure my order hadn't gotten lost over the lst 7 mmonths. But when asked about dates, there was no info. Just ready for it to show up on the doorstep ... li
