I have two 565 in my shack: One early model ORION, which I successfully upgraded to powerpoles exactly as described I the VE7TK link. And one 2004 ORION, which offers a different PCB layout at the Mo

The Orion (565) was never ever tested with the optional INRAD 600Hz filter (designed by W4ZV) . This 4-pole crystal is the perfect roofing filter with minimal Group Delay. 6 or 8-pole filtering, use
Tnx, Still own 3 TT ORIONs here: - Old 2002 version, recently acquired(swapped for my OII), heavily used (has at least different PCB circuit tracks around the DC power input) using fw 1.375b - New bo
Hi Kim, Yes, on my SDR Perseus I have lowered them to the minimal value (32) to make it perform better. For the ORION that is not necessary. However, I did experiment with taps on the OII a bit. You
Just to be clear on this; the ORION does not require lowering the filter taps setting at all. First its basic filtershape at 199 is already perfectly analog-like round shaped (see my previous weblink
Hi Martin, Maybe it is different at fw 1.373b5 ?? Anyway; I can dig out weak signals on 160m best at 100Hz BW. At 100Hz I can slowly tune the whole band without feeling restricted by any artifacts or
The russian navigation beacons are on 160m active and just appear in the noise (1813.1) I just compared my both ORIONs using that exact CW-like signal : ORION serial ending 4 (inc RX366)Fw V3.32: wea

Just to clarify something here; because I like the 100Hz BW at fw 1.x better than at 3.x does not mean the generation 3 fw is not good or anything. There is a world of differences between 1.x and 3.x

Why is it the pdf insists on keeping S9+60 at '0' whereas we all see values around 240 from everybody. What is the need for setting it at '0' ? What is/are the effects when adjusting it to a numeric
Correct! Thanks for the explanation Martin. With the TT565 sw version 3.032 a numerical value '0' in the table will put the meter at position 0 Adjusted it to 209 (which is the value to point at +60
Hi, I'm looking for the Inrad filter #762 (600Hz for ORION at the 1000Hz slot) I have a spare Inrad #357 (2800Hz for ORION II, Eagle, RX-366) available. After acquiring the #762 I can also loose the
I have had both Orion models and believe there is some small audible difference. For my Orion fw 1.375b, using the 600Hz Inrad crystal filter at the 1K pos, I very much like its 100Hz (actually it

Yes ORION (and OII) do this perfectly. As an example, one can point the RX ant input to the main RCVR(front panel matrix) and (via menu settings) point ANT 2, using a different second RX antenna, to

Rob Sherwood has chosen the DR3 @2Khz as ranking. Sure one could prioritize for any other here, or make a equasion out of several But there is much more to it about deciding what is a better receiver
