This is probably a good time to review the problems I would most like to see fixed in the v. 2 firmware, especially in the Orion II: * S-Meter accuracy/linearity * Notch (automatic and manual) inside

The K3 will no doubt be a nice radio, although at best, it will equal the Orions in performance. That according to Eric Swartz, co-owner of Elecraft in a demo he gave at our local club last month. He

Wayne: About the S-Meter, it's not normal for it to read so high with no antenna connected, however the "resting point" which is the AGC threshold, can be set in the menu under "RX" for each of the f

When you go into transmit, but with no power out, does the meter drop to zero? If it doesn't, I would suspect the mechanical zero. If it does, it sounds like something more serious! Ron N6IE www.N6IE

The fan in the 425 is a custom assembly that TT made out of standard parts, augmented with rubber grommets to insulate the vibration. After years of use they get hard and lose their insulating abilit

As far as I know, it's only for the Orion 2 since the board is designed to piggy-back onto the existing module. Check with TT to be sure. If there is an RFI problem, the 'quick fix' is to wrap the he
