Gee, Scott. Doesn't T-T just GIVE a new radio du jour to all 28 of you? ;-) (Employee ownership of an Orion, or not, is akin to fretting that all Cray employees that know how to use a computer don't
NR works in a variety of ways, including using LMS or some other adaption algorithm to adapt the coefficients of an IIR or FIR filter, in the classic Wiener filter noise reduction algorithm. And the
It would depend on the number of filter taps, which drives delay and processing power requirments. Heck, it's even possible to have the number of taps be an adapted parameter (I don't think that's g
Unfortunately (or some might argue, fortunately), some of the really hard core CW contesters on this list are still using the Orion I, which we know has an issue with the two most narrow roofing fil
Yes, I know. That may well be. And I wouldn't posit otherwise. So even after it was redesigned to his spec, it's still "noisy". All I intended to do in my post was to ask the standard question of a
As an afterthought, why are all of Rob's Orion comments posted on the 7800 list? I don't believe I've ever seen him show up over here on the wrong side of the tracks :-) Grant/NQ5T _________________
I shipped my dead II to T-T on Dec 5, and got it back working today, 2 weeks door to door. Turned out to have been U500 on the logic board. The really good news is that it's the first time in memory
I think Rob's observations in this respect, relative to the II/v2 are dead on the mark. It isn't that the radio is "noisy" (in some absolute sense affecting sensitivity), it has to do with AGC behav
If yo go back and read some of Doug Smith's original writings on the Orion, it appears to be DSP-based. I don't recall this ever being an issue on the 565 v1. I suspect it's another benefit of the r
I keep mine between 0.1-0.2. But you're right. And combine that with adjustment of Threshold to band noise conditions, the radio isn't "noisy" at all. Grant/NQ5T ____________________________________

A pair of 4cx15000a's running at about 10Kv and 4.5A per tube will do a pretty good job, too :-) Grant/NQ5T _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com
Possibly true. Problem, though, is that there are too many guys who think that since there is a "processsing" control on the panel it's there to be used or it wouldn't be there. And if a little bit
Hook up your key like you would for any other radio, to a standard stereo (tip-ring-sleeve) 1/4" plug. Instert the plug in the CW jack on the front panel. Go into the menus and turn OFF the internal
You're absolutely right! I also use a Signature. Brain dead tonight. It's Christmas Eve, and there was just too much wine with dinner :-) Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, or whatever holiday of the S
Because, as I said in another post, I was the victim of a brain f*rt, or senior moment, a sweep of major dementia, or something equivalent. Is that a good enough reason? :-) On the other hand, it co
You have the correct DIN connector. You can certainly wire something up a dongle to access the FSK keying lead. I purchased an RCA-14 from LDG Electronics and have relegated anything resembling a do

My Orion II came back from T-T Service sliding loose in the box. The carton had apparently been dropped on its sides and ends so many times by UPS that all three of the side/end supports in the ship
