Wonder what logging programs Orion owners are using that interface to the Orion? I have DXBase and it doesn't sound like Jack has any intention of supporting the Orion in the near future. Dick K8ZTT
I have a #759 (9 Mhz, 400Hz) filter for sale. Would like 90 bucks and that includes Fed Ex 2 day air shipment, all applicable taxes, surcharges and other fees that might possibly be applicable. Richa
Eric, Make sure you have any rig control programs shut down; like Writelog or DX4Win. If they are using the com port to control the radio, you can't get the update to load. I have DXBase and I use it
Hi Larry, I have had my Orion for quite awhile now and I also had "good audio" reports initially. However, when listening to my audio with headphones using the monitor function on the radio, I found
HI Dave, I think the "consensus" is to purchase the INRAD 761 and 762 filters. Yank out the "standard" 1 khz Orion filter and put in the 762 (600 khz). Put the INRAD 762 (1.8Khz) filter in the option
Dick, I have that filter along with the 760 and 762 for sale. I think the going rate is about 75 bucks plus shipping. Probably a couple bucks for the shipping so a total of 77. Let me know if you are
Rich, Quite a number of answers I see on the board. My personal opinion is the best tuner out there is the XMatch tuner manufactured by Paul Schrader (N4XM). This is pretty well backed up by the ARRL
After more than 45 years of continual hamming on all bands and modes, I can honestly say that I never have used an antenna tuner and never found any system that will outperform a resonant antenna fed
Hi Dick, I have two transmitting antennas for 160 meters at present. One is a 5/16 wavelength inverted L that is 68 ft. tall and about 98 ft. horizontal fed with a remotely tuned vacuum variable at t
Ken, I use the Orion II with a Hal DXP38 for RTTY and FSK keying (had the Orion I previously with the same setup). After reading your email, you got me wondering what I did; so I unplugged the DIN an
Bob, I had the Orion I and now the Orion II. Purchased all the option filters for both (International Radio for the I and the standard TenTec ones for the II). I have never used the 300 in either rad
Same problem here. Must be a "BUG"!! Makes one wonder how many other bugs there are like this. Maybe some "mathmatician amateur" can come with the total number of possible combinations that can be tr
Just tried the "battery reset" and master reset. I assume the battery reset is accomplished by turning the radio on while holding in the VFOB-LCK button and seeing the "BATTERY FAILURE" message on th
The airplane I flew had two hundred and some odd computers (+ or - a couple). It is not uncommon for one or two to "act up". And yes, sometimes shutting the whole airplane down and powering back up w
I have been reading all the emails concerning AM mode and the Orion. I might be rather naieve, but I though the Orion was designed as a DXer's radio (the first one Ten Tek ever produced for the DXer)
Larry, I currently own an Orion II and traded in an Orion I for it. I would have to say that biggest "cosmetic" difference is the color display; internally, the Orion II is probably better when using
John, I think you just got a "Fri afternoon special". I have had my Orion II since about the third week they were available. Can say that I have not had any problems with it at all. It has been on 24
I have used DXBase for years and it works fine with the Orion. It is definitely designed for all facets of DX. Take a look at it on there website. www.dxbase.com _____________________________________
Denny, Sounds like the MK-V and the Orion use the same pin outs. In any case, you can quickly check your audio by using the "MON" button (second down on left side next to screen). Suggest you use a s
Bernie, I received my Orion II about three or so weeks after they came out. I have been extremely pleased with the radio and have not had any major problems. I operate FSK, CW, and SSB; probably a 15
