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
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
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
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
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
I read the New York Times once. Found it to be opinionated and not particularly news worthy. I'm not a republican. First time I've read the reflector in a while and am still grinning at the number of
Hello Lee, I do use the SP and AN functions for SSB (the AN function when heterodynes are present in the pass band). Do not use the NR function much but have experimented with it. Generally I find AT
I think this is a very strange discussion. Money comes and goes but the rigs tend to pile up in my shack for years. Radios and computers and printers and plotters and power supplies and even batterie
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
