Interesting that a resonant antenna is claimed to radiate better than a multiband antenna with an antenna tuner at the feed point of the antenna. Clearly, if coax carries current at a high SWR, the l
I wrote earlier looking for technical info and did not get a reply, so I'll send this and see what happens. It is "off topic" but then so is much of what I read here... :) A while back, there was a d
Hello Dave, I like the IC PRO III for many reasons. One reason is it is less expensive than the O2. One reason is it works very well and is fairly intuitive to use. One reason is it has a nice sweep
Joe, On my O2 using VER. 2.028, the RF gain is reduced from 100 to 60 or thereabouts when turning the multi knob slowly. The S-meter reading moves from 0 to S9 with this adjustment. When adjusting th
Dave, Near as I can tell the only thing broke is the AM transmitter and the AM monitor. All other functins seem to work FB here in the applications I use. CW, Digi modes, SSB, Shortwave listening, al
This is a very strange thread. I've never heard Ocean noise on my ORION... What am I doing wrong, that I don't get to hear this particular noise? I have heard static and natural interference type noi
I sent the O2 in for service on Friday last week. Sent it UPS 3 day select. I received it back from Ten Tec today! Thursday, a six day turn around from my door to my door. Wow! The work was done and
I have read a few statements here concerning NR and filter tap settings and audio distortion and other perceived effects of the DSP filter system on the ORION II. I've read the manual too... The filt
Carl, It is nice to see reason on this reflector. I just want to say that your software is great. I use it a lot, especially for digital modes with MixW and for shortwave listening. You have a good p
Reading the mail on this reflector is interesting and sometimes informative... My experience in communicating with Ten Tec on the ORION II issues I've had that concerned me, were completely resolved
After considering all the discussion on the short comings and the anomalies of the ORION here on the reflector, I just have to say, in my practical use of the ORION II, it meets my expectations. It i
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
