Jerry, Every time you post, I learn something. Thank you! Ron KA7U The 17 meter problem in the Omni C was described here yesterday as being second harmonic of the IF. That's not quite true. Its actua
Hello Craig, I use the ORION II in the digital modes, mostly PSK31 and RTTY, with an occassional SSTV when 20 meters is good. I use N4PY control software and MixW configured to use Pegausus/Jupiter (
Sinisa, =:-) What a sense of humor. But at least you agree, it meets the specification! Ron KA7U Believe it or not, the "565 Manual" does not even attempt to define how is the the TX mode established
I've been thinking about this discussion. At first I thought it was funny, but after consideration I think a review of the ORION Sub receiver function might be the right direction for this conversati
Buck, I have used the same method you state here, but I always have the Main RX mode set the same as the Sub RX mode when doing this. On My ORION II, I've not been able to replicate the problem of tr
Installed the version 2.033 in the ORION 2 a while ago and the initial things noticed are: 1. The NB/NR/NOTCH lose the audio problem is now fixed 2. The speech processor seems to work better (on my m
Oh and I also notice the NR function on SSB seems to be working pretty good with v 2.033 too. But then, I thought it worked reasonable in the previous versions... Ron KA7U
The Line Out amplitude is much higher in Ver. 2.033. Had to set it to the Low output and adjust my line in on the sound card for a higher input. Almost out of range without additional attenuation. (u
Doug, Most of the time I use headphones but using the speaker, I'm not noticing popping or snapping that changes with EQ settings. Here is how I've set the version 2.033 and it seems to function OK s
The failure to privately post the original rant that started this thread should say something about the competence of the original poster. Did you ever notice how the guy that has the most trouble ge
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
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
Tom, Ineresting idea of two AM broadcast stations producing the signal at 260 KHz, but as I did not hear any signal but the 1160 KHz station there, I think it is probably a product of the IF mixer. I
