Occurred to me that it would be interesting to know whether this was really due to processor overhead (interrupt handling, context switching, etc.) or is maybe related to other things, such as timin
This thread is getting past the point of reason. But .. BW, PBT, AF gain, RF gain, POWER, or other functions controlled by MULTI -- appear to have no effect. The HI/LO cut control does not work whil
I have a relatively early J. M. March -- made before he started putting serial numbers on them and have had it for many years. Same basic design, but not sure how it compares with the current produc
I just received a shipping notice from Ten-Tec for a 33 lb item. Only one thing that could possibly be, since I have only one thing on order -- something with a -II after its name. FINALLY!!!! :-) Gr
To take the devils advocate's view, maybe they're just returning my trade-in. (I don't want to get too excited before I actually see the box on the porch) :-) Grant/NQ5T
I received my order confirmation from T-T on 7/20, but I think that was a few days after I actually hit enter on the web order page. My memory isn't that long :-) Grant/NQ5T
I agree that it is a bit strange that there are no actual full body advertising style photos of the II posted yet. One might surmise from that, rightly or wrongly, that some of the "finishing" tasks
Thanks, Scott. For some reason, the photo of the Orion II (as well as the Jupiter pic) are "squished" horizontally -- at least in IE. Easy enough to get the full sized (and much larger) image to oggl
It does indeed play (not surprisingly) :-) I don't have anything reconnected other than an antenna and power yet. The AM tuning step issue with the sub-receiver in all 1.xxx versions has been fixed (
As I said, the S/N ratio on weak CW signals with noise is significantly improved. There may still be a tweak or two that needs to be done, but maybe not. I'm not sure yet. But, you can't argue with
Exactly right. That's all it was when I made the comment, about one specific situation. One observation, after having the radio out of the carton for about an hour checking some of the things that w
If you haven't tried it, do a reset holding the VFO B LCK key. This clears RAM memory, and solves a myriad of ills that can be caused by corrupted RAM-stored variables. I had to do this with my II wh
Not so fast. The point of the S-Meter movement upward, as I recall the endless discussions of all of this regarding the Orion, is to give you a notion of the MINIMUM signal that will impact AGC, via
Mint condition, with clip and cable. The cable has the 4-pin connector, so it would need a new connector for the Orion II. $85, including shipping (lower 48). Grant/NQ5T
