Ray, Generally I've found a setting of 53, SP 3, TX EQ 5dB, TX Filter BW 3000, gets a good report from the more critical folks. My voice is in the low tenor range. Ron KA7U I'm curious as to what O2
Charlie, I'm using a Ten Tec 706 microphone. Ron KA7U Which microphone are you using with these settings? Charlie Tnx, Ron. I too have found SP 3 to be the optimal setting for most SSB operation, but
After using my ORION II for the time I've had it, I find that the N4PY software makes the radio much nicer and more functional to use. And, I do mean MUCH NICER. As I look at this radio and the gener
You have my sympathy Merle. Past experience indicates that existing products only improve slightly with patches and fixes. New products are the "New and Improved" versions. :) Seems to me that system
Lee, I will be interested to see this next generation of Flex SDR radio. Full QSK is required as well as a great receiver. It definitely sounds like it is headed in the right direction. If a knob is
Wil, I use the ORION II with 2.034 software and find it to be the best radio I've ever used. Surely it can be improved and some of the complaints have merit, but they are below the threshold of noise
Having faithfully read the numerous posts on head phones a while back on this reflector, I decided to take a chance on the Sennheiser HD-202 head phones. Prior to these phones I have been using the R
Oh, and the radio I'm listening to is the ORION II. Ron KA7U I just discovered something that might be of general interest. Using the Sennheiser HD-202 phones the "click clack" of CW keying when send
Steve, I started the thread "The Orion sure makes me happy" a while back. You should have read some of the email I received from others who did not appreciate that I could say anything good about the
Ron, I did not stay with 2.033 went back to 2.032. Your posts are genuine and helpful, I don't think you need to fear. <grin> Seeing that you might be paraphrasing one of my posts, I should think tha
Phil, It does this here too. Both receiver A or B. The hardware noise blanker seems to work correctly with these settings so that might be a work around for your situation. Ron KA7U Version 2.032 sof
Carl, My O2 fails after the battery and master reset as well, but I do have to turn the multi knob to increase or decrease the center frequency of the notch to get it to fail. So this bug is dependen
Grant, The suggested "cures" don't work on my O2 either. As the adage goes, if "it hurts when you do that, don't do it", HI. It is interesting that I never would have gotten around to turning all of
One thing that is frustrating with the ORION is that when you do a memory clear, the contents of the stored frequencies are over written with 15.0Mhz and all the old channels are lost. I hate that. S
http://www.dxradio.co.uk/sangean/ats909.html Al, Some people say little Sangean ATS 909 radio is a keeper. Ron KA7U OK folks, I need some input here. I'm looking for a reasonably priced general cover
Toby, I did not take time to record any of the ORION audio while I had it, but I've checked the O2 audio as a result of the negative comments about it and have not found it to be lacking... Recording
Barry, I'm gradually developing an interest in what creates and sustains a group email thread! Absolutely fascinating. I do also collect keys, heathkit radios and test equipment, and enjoy CW rag che
Carl, I've checked very carefully on my ORION II and there is 4 hertz of difference between the Sub Receiver and Main Receiver at 15.0 MHz. This might give a very mild reverb effect on a music note..
Ken, This is an interesting idea and would probably be interesting to listen too. So far in my use of diversity reception, I've only worked CW, and the speed of the signal tends to obscure phase roll
Ci, The reflector is mostly about "finding fault", and currently, it is about finding fault with the ORION radios. As a practical matter of using the ORION II and the ORION that I had before it, they
