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
Well, the noise reduction NR works a bit different as in a weak CW signal jumps up in clarity and SSB speach does not seem to be degraded much. NR, NB, Notch, and AN don't seem to lock up the radio i
Wow! The NR function is sweet. I'm listening to the FARM net 3.937 Mhz and the static crashes are approaching S-9, NR set to 3, AGC set to slow, BW @ 2400 Hz, and 12 dB of ATTN and there is absolutel
Klaus, The side tone level may be different than before... I'd have to reload the 2.034 to be sure, but on my O2 the side tone level seems adequate from the front jack in the head phones or from the
I'm running version 3.037j on the ORION II. When I follow the sequence as listed below I get 5 or 6 small white lines on the display around the SP value portion of the screen. Minor corruption but vi
Bob, My ORION II / version 2.037j does change from software and hardware noise blanker by holding the button down and so forth. I do not have the 60 cycle tone in the side tone on 10 meters that you
Just unpacked and hooked up a Century 22. Neat little radio. It did not arrive with a 5 amp current limiter (model 1179 or 279), calibrator board (model 226), internal Keyer (model 679), or the 5 amp
Ed, Not knowing all the particulars of the circuit feeding into your shack my suggestion may not be relevant, but here goes anyway. If your 110 VAC 3 wire circuit in the shack is dedicated to that lo
Gary, Looks like we have a discussion going. As I understand it, a ground rod at a secondary panel is usual if the secondary panel is located in a separate building. The ground rod at the secondary p
Jerry, I'm glad we had this discussion. It is easy for an amateur radio operator to become complacent and take a caveliar attitude and forsake safety for cost saving. Just because a thing will work,
Mark, I think a preference is just that. The N4PY software for the ORION offers a great amount of flexibility in using the VFO A/B and Main/Sub receivers. I find using this software to greatly enhanc
Hello reflector, I working away this morning to install an LDG 0T-11P auto tuner in this O2 radio and just noticed the little trash can with and X through it and a _ under it, stuck to the back of th
Hello Reflector, OK, the LDG 0T-11P auto tuner is installed and working in the O2. Does not seem to work correctly with the N4PY software internal tuner setup, but other than that, it is working very
David, I'm using MixW set up to use Pegasus/Jupiter (emulation) interfaced thru a Rascal sound card interface using Com2 and the ORION II AUX I/O and N4PY control software using Com1 and the ORION II
I've used the OMNI D on RTTY using MixW and the sound card tin setup, (AFSK). It helps to add a fan to cool the heat sink and keep the power level down to less than 40 watts and the ALC light off, an
This is interesting Sinisa. I wonder if the ORION and ORION II operate the same in this regard. I notice on my ORION II that the tone of the received signal is the same in LCW or UCW as long as the r
Tom, I have the LDG OT-11P installed in my ORION II and it works fine. Installation is straight forward and without much risk. The tuner features memories but you can force a retune by holding down t
