I think that "bug report" e-mail address went away long ago. Try service@tentec.com. That will probably go to someone who will actually read it and respond! BTW...I have updated my "Wish List" with w

They probably should have released this as a beta first. In fact, I wish TT would return to the days when they had volunteer beta testers in the field to give them valuable feed-back. Ron N6IE www.N6
The ALC light problem is a result of needing much more audio than before. The serial port problem is something I didn't test for yesterday, but I heard from a couple of users off-list about it. To be

About a year ago I decided it was time to change the incandescent pilot bulbs in my 238 tuner to LED's since the old bulbs kept burning out. My first stab at it was with a direct plug in replacement
John: I noticed the same thing and tried encapsulating the relay with that material that's like Coax Seal. It quieted the relay completely, but I noticed that when I ran in CW contests, after a few h
Kim: I would look at the low-pass filter board for the problem, especially if it also happens on 17 meters as well as 15, but not on other bands. My first suspicion would be a cold solder joint on K1
John: Are you running with the keying 'loop' or just the standard amp keying? If you are using the loop, you have to turn on "Keying Loop 1" or "Keying Loop 2" and make sure you have the cables going
That's probably right, but..... My 425 blew fuses three times. Once when the plate transformer shorted, which almost all of them eventually did. Another when the bias board blew, probably from lightn
Art: The problem was originally believed to be in the "A" connector from the board where the RIT is to the logic board. That's a good place to start, but I found later that the real culprit, at least
Just out of curiosity, what does the "IC" pot do? Ron Castro Chief Technical Officer Results Radio, LLC N6IE www.N6IE.com The ALC set does not calibrate the meter, it will adjust the maximum output.
Tom: This is a well-known issue in the Orions, and as recently as this past weekend, I have been adding to my understanding of it. I performed W2AJI's adjustment and noted that the internal ALC now w
The website says the AT1500DT has an 'active peak/peak hold' meter. As Jerry said, tune up the amp at 500 Watts CW, then run the output of the O2 until the Palstar shows 500 Watts peak out. Ron N6IE
Terry: All very interesting observations on the Orion! You mentioned that the radio shuts down when the current reaches a certain level, which I have seen my radio do on several occasions. Do you hav
Nothing wrong with doing that, and in fact it would be a good test to see if my theory is right. The problem comes when you're not running a linear and need full power, like at Field Day or in the NA

Each of the internal caps that get selected by the switch are 470 pf, so you get a little less than 2,500 pf will all of them engaged and the variable cap (500 pf) at full. To give the maximum range,
Barry: The connector that has been mentioned that caused the problem can be seen in the picture on page 4 of the Orion (565) V2 Logic Mod. It's the connector marked A. I checked the straightness of a
Tom: I have a shelf much closer than that to the top of my O II and have never had a problem, at least not so far. I also use mine quite a few hours every day, as well as in contests in all modes. On
