Not interested in starting a thread laoded with the usual flames on this subject, because I seem to recall it has come up several times before ... But, I do fail to see what makes the activity "misg
Look at the boot screen again. There are TWO code release numbers that are listed there -- one is the general firmware release, the other is the DSP code version. It sounded in your earlier post lik
A little OT: For those of you that think there are a wide range of issues with the Orion/II -- I've been reading the other guy's list, mosied through the archives, and received several private commen
Yep.. Perhaps the problem now is that the guys haven't figured out where the speed control is on their keyboards. In my worthless opinion, keyboard CW isn't "CW". It may sound like CW, it may meet t
Oh I hope not. I was idling speculating on why, as the original poster commented, it no longer seems to be as general a practice as it once was to slow down for the newbie. I'm guilty, too, I suppos
The instructions at rfsquared for doing the v2 hardware mod are a good reference for disassembling the front panel boards and then putting Humpty back together again. Grant/NQ5T
Here, we're all just schmucks typing on a keyboard. It seems not to matter much what one says (types). The one absolute guarantee is that someone else will take offense when none was intended, have
They do. The issue referred to appears to be a physical problem with the encoder that has shown up in some radios (fortunately not mine -- yet). This "pull on the knob" business appears to correct t
The BEST workaround on the v1/2 Orion is to run 1.3xx firmware. No "workarounds" are necessary if you do that. It just WORKS. Better overall for AM. Grant/NQ5T
Forgive my impertinence, and accept my most humble and contrite apologies in advance. This anti-eBay cr*p is certainly the right and privelege of the "owner" of the list. I only humbly, meekly, whis
I hoping this gets fixed. The T-T engineer I exchanged a couple of emails with some time ago on this subject expressed surprise that it did not work on AM/FM modes. There are some other functions th
You can alsways manually select the 20Khz roofing filter in the filter menu. In any case, the skirts of the roofing filters are relatively broad. Certainly need more DSP receive bandwidth for AM. Ev
Frankly, that's hard to understand. If the AGC "seems to fast", slow it down. I assume this is an Orion II you're talking about. Set HANG at about 0.2-0.3 seconds, and decay rate at 5-7 dB in SLOW.
Maybe they're just low because the operators actually believe the 16 digits of precision they get from their calculators when they divide 1.2 by the sgrt of 47, and likewise believe the digital dial
If you operate CW with reasonably narrow bandwidths, DSP NR is largely superfluous, if not downright useless. The most effective noise reduction tool in CW mode (any radio, not just the Orion/II) is
