Depends on your amp. Many modern amps still require close to 100 watts (carrier) for 1500 Watts out. The Orion II must still provide a minimum of 25 watts carrer with 100 watts PEP at 100% modulatio
That's true. I still find using the CUT control as the simplest and most straightforward way of shaving off junk I don't want to listen to. One control, virtually no forebrain activity required :-)
In what way? Leave a few firmware glitches behind, what makes it a better radio? This is a serious question, not a snide one. Curious why you think it's better. I presume you have or have had both?
Well, of course, anything in the code could be considered an "operational trait" :-) According to T-T, they removed an audio AGC function which was the source of increased noise, and that was at lea
It's one of those things I was referring to in an earlier post. Some will love it, some won't care, some will hate it. The first and last groups will forever argue about why it's great or why it's n
Obviously the former, if I can get it. I liked the 1.371 variant of NR better than the embodiment in the II in many respects. The downside, as I stated in my post, is the fact that the old version s
Ten-tec answered this question somewhere along the line. It is caused by the method of dynamically computing rather than pulling up pre-stored filter parameters. The mix of old filter and new filter
The visual I'm getting is the usual guy by the side of the road staring into the open engine compartment, expecting to spot the gremlin that caused the car to quit :-) Maybe a loose something, but I
If it doesn't come on when you hit the tune button, it's probably a hardware problem. By the way, I have the cover off my II right now since I installed the 1800 and 600 Hz filters earlier this even
Cute :-) I guess you're sure it's the radio and not the amp that's doing something hinky? So TX OUT is spuriously pulling low even though you aren't keying the radio? Or is getting stuck there? Is th
I found I had to re-EQ the radio and tweak the audio chain slightly from where things were set on my Orion, but can't say the audio doesn't sound "robust". I feed mic audio through a processor into
I haven't seen anything definitive. It's still a guesswork exercise based on observed behavior. Bt it does seem that the notch functions may have been moved there, since there's no apparent affect o
His problem was that 2.031 seemed to "stick" with TX OUT pulled low keying his amp even though the radio was in receive mode ?? (Is that even possible?) I've been playing with mine using the loop on
You may want to check all of this on a second receiver. To see if it's something on your output signal, or just some distortion on the internal monitor. My experience and some other reports is that
