First, before I get bashed, I'm not saying this isn't really a bug. Second, of the several things that have been reported -- frozen sweep, frozen meter, this one, etc. -- I have yet to have managed
It seems to be a characteristic of the connector. My connector is firmly affixed, but the threaded ring itself is "loose". It doesn't behave as though the entire connector assembly is loose or inade
I agree 100%. There have been a couple of minor niggles, appropriately reported to T-T. But nothing as serious as has been described by some. I've had no hairy lockups or other major glitches. And i
If that's your "average" power out of the TS-50, that thing must sound REALLY bad. You should see maybe 25 watts, more or less depending on your voice, with no processing. And if you're running enou
Select COM port under "Settings". The update program does all of the necessary configuration of the port. You do not need to worry about anything but the port number. This is the HowTo file from the
If you're using Windoze XP, you don't need to set up the port -- the Install program does it automatically. The Orion runs by default at 57K, not 115K. The update shouldn't take more than 2-3 minutes
I've found a lot of this O-2 keyer discussion interesting. My take on it is that it doesn't take but a very small change in keyer timing requirements to throw things off. We're creatures of habit if
Yes, it appears to be. I can't get AM transmit to work either. The system that worked so well and produced very high quality AM in the Orion is now broken. I tried a full reset just to make sure it
Just to clarify, this only seems to occur after having attempted to transmit on AM (which doesn't work). It takes about 2 seconds for the RF to reach full output in CW -- The largest output spike I
At my house anyway, it is NOT working in 2.028, but I reloaded 2.025 and the carrier sets properly at about 25 watts. Works a bit differently than the 1.3xx firmware which went to 100% power then dr
First, if a Master reset isn't clearing up the problem, do a RAM CLEAR reset -- hold in the VFOB LCK key when you turn it on, and wait for the "battery failure" message to appear on the screen. Secon
The Orion-II does the same thing. Spin the knob and the radio's keying doesn't keep up with the dit string. I was using an external key (bug). Not sure what the internal keyer would do. But then I d
