I admit to being slow, but perhaps someone could explain in simple words why this is the case. Is it unique to a DSP radio? Every analog radio I've ever used that has a "notch" has it INSIDE the AGC
There are varying opinions on this. NR characteristics differ depending on the specific firmware release (pre 1.372, 1.372, 1.373Betas, v2 early, v2 current, etc). And there has been a lot of discus
No. In ideal conditions, an HQ-170 or just about anything will play pretty well. The Orion doesn't work miracles. But .. In crowded conditions, with many strong (such as contest) signals beating awa
This issue has been discussed. In my case (and I have no idea if this matches other's experience), it is present on the internal speaker but does not show up on my external speaker. Also, when using
Not uncommon. It's been that way since the day the first Orion shipped in 2003 :-) Who knows why there are so many variations to "one" problem? It happens a lot thought, and undoubtedly has somethin
Nonetheless, some trolling pinhead gets 20% of the information and posts his well thought out and incisively constructed remarks on eHam. And it's unlikely the garbage will disappear. Grant/NQ5T
It appears that the original post regarding ON4UN's disposition of his Orions has been sent to the bit bucket, along with some others that were posted right after that in response. But for the first
Sounds like a perfect addition to Carl's control program. 2 great receivers, 2 transmitters, 2 sub receivers (don't have enough ears), all controlled from one convenient spot :-) Of course, I presum
Can someone who has done the mod confirm whether there is or is not a cable connected to coax connector #18 on the logic board? I did't bother to look at everything prior to pulling the coax cables,
Anyone reading this must have thought I was crazy. It's actually connector In any case, I located what would have been the other end of the cable, and there's not even a connector installed. Problem
This was mentioned along with the early announcement of the Orion II, but there hasn't been anything said about it since then. Glad to hear it is apparently actually in the works, or at least still
Before listing it somewhere else, I'm offering an Orion 565AT (v2) for sale here. Excellent condition, v2 hardware mod, internal tuner, no optional roofing filters installed. I have the original powe
Think again :=) If the carrier is at 7.020, and you are in UCW, you would tune DOWN to 7.019 to hear the signal (with a 1 Khz note). It's no different than USB SSB. If you are tuned to 7.019, and he
I noticed this also. After first loading 2.037 yesterday, I thought there was a bug, and that AGC was OFF in all settings. I finally went in to the SLOW setting and dropped the decay speed to the 1-
Finally got both the v2 Orion and the Orion II up on a multi-coupler so I can listen on both simultaneously. Regarding the comments about the AGC on 2.037 sounding "fast", I agree. If one can presume
The point was that behavior is NOT the same on both v2 and Orion II versions. Seems it should be, and it is not. There's no need for AGC hang on the v2 Orion to smooth things out. I recognize there
