Rick: I keep getting a "404" error when I click the link. You're probably right about the difference in the 565 and 566 updates regarding the QSK. The slightly different platforms may have dictated d
Good comparison. I looks like there were a number of small fixes that were specific to the 566, as well as the operation features that were for both. The QSK one is the only possible exception. Altho
Same here...I cranked them to +2 kHz and got tired of cranking! Ron N6IE www.N6IE.com _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting
The letter you see was not in the previous versions. It tells you the band-stack register you are using. If you repeatedly press the band button, you'll see the letter toggle from A through D. Anothe
Isn't it a bit premature to be making comparisons with radios that aren't even for sale yet? The K3, the Bretlinger (that got a fold-out ad in QST, despite it doesn't have FCC approval yet), the SDR
There have been many claims made in the past that turned out not to be true when tested fairly in a lab under completely objective conditions. In the case of one of the new radio manufacturers, they
Phil: Welcome to the group! The version you have, 2.037j was the latest until two weeks ago when 2.038k was released. This update fixed some problems with AM RX and TX, added an icon that shows which
I just tried that and it works the way you describe. I also tried using the sub RX to listen on the lower frequency on VFO B while running the TX and main RX on the VFO A in the band, and that worked
I just worked them too. Used the sub RX on 13.974. He's listening on 14.303. Ron Castro Chief Technical Officer Results Radio, LLC N6IE www.N6IE.com _______________________________________________ Te
I just found a new Orion II update on the rfsquared.com website and I am loading it into my radio right now. I'll report how it works when I have a chance to play with it a bit. New one for the origi
I loaded 2.039d for the Orion II and found it work as advertised. Here are the changes in the latest edition: 2.039d Band register selection now remembered on each band. Modified AGC Slope to give pr
The sidetone on 2.039d sounds pretty decent. I can hear a bit of an echo sounds and something that sounds a bit like scissors snipping when I have the phones set to list to both the Main and Sub rece
I have documented that problem on my website, www.n6ie.com as RF getting in through the headphones cable. There is a free factory mod that fixes the problem with a filter board that plugs into the au
There's no reason why it shouldn't happen on CW too. Now that you mention it, I wonder if that might have something to do with the "CW sidetone artifact" problem we hear about from time to time here?
The big problem is IR loss in the wire from the power supply to the radio, not necessarily the "ampacity" of the wire. The longer and thinner the wire, the more the voltage drop as the current increa
In my case, it was what I had lying around after a mobile installation. If you want to keep the voltage loss at 20 amps to >4%, a run of #14 is good for only 4 feet. For #12, you can run 7 feet, and
It should open with Window Media Player, or with Winamp. I tried first on Winamp and for some reason it played upside down! Windows Media worked fine. Ron Castro Chief Technical Officer Results Radio
In preparation for Field Day, I have been asked to update the firmware on an original Orion. I'll be staying in the v 1.x mode, probably using v 1.373b5. I can find the .ruf files, but is the loader
I haven't had to send anything back to TT for quite a while, but the last time I did, it was for my Titan 425 linear. I sent it out UPS ground, which takes five days from CA. After six days, I called
Absolutely! The firmware currently on the radio dates back to the one of the earliest production dates and has never been updated, and as a result, the radio crashes often during contest conditions.
