Tnx John. I'll be among the first to sign up. 73 Ray In a message dated 1/13/2012 4:54:35 P.M. GMT Standard Time, jhenry@tentec.com writes: Hi Ray, We are in the final phase of production for the RX-
John Henry said Friday that they had just produced a run of boards and were going about final tweaking. No word yet on price or delivery date. He hoped to have the V3 firmware ready this week. 73 Ray
I've tried them side by side, and found the "old" Orion II sub receiver quieter than the Yaesu Mk V, due to the O II's DSP NR. It would still benefit from a good roofing filter, though, so I plan to
for the V3 firmware. For me, the NR (2.044A) is very good on CW, not so good on SSB. 73 Ray W2RS I find the NR is not very good here on the OII. Also the NB causes lots
Rick and all, I had an 80-meter dipole with balanced feedline at my old NJ QTH. I fed it with a Heathkit 2060A tuner and got good matches on all bands 80-10. No need to cut feedlines. The 2060A was r
Hi, Through trial and error, and with the help of several listening stations, I've come up with the following transmit audio settings for the Orion II, when used with the 707 Regal microphone on AM.
Hi Barry, Yes, you're right about the bandwidth. I had set it to 2100 because I had a report that it improved the modulation depth. I didn't quite understand why, but as you said I let the on-air rep
Yes, it's full AM but controlled carrier. When I'm not talking, my carrier output measures 12 watts. It goes up to 25 when fully modulating. 73 Ray W2RS.
Hi all, Based on further experimentation and comments from some of you on this reflector, I've come up with the following "revised" settings for operating the Orion II on 10-meter AM with the 707 Reg
Right on Scott. Not only that, but this thread seems to be confusing the 565 and the 566. They're similar, but not identical as to settings. 73 Ray W2RS
I have a 566 (2.044a), and find myself using different settings on different bands. I'm mostly a CW DXer, and do very little SSB, so I can see how the settings for casual SSB operating would be diffe
Stephen, As I understand it, the RX366 is basically the Eagle receiver. That has room for 3 roofing filters. So, if TT supplies one, we would need two more to fill out the set. I don't know what, if
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that it is a version of the Eagle receiver, which is general coverage. 73 Ray W2RS In a message dated 10/13/2011 9:17:53 P.M. GM
Not only that, but the radios themselves are (in some respects) a moving target. Most modern radios are SDRs, and the firmware keeps changing. The Orion II DSP noise reduction, for example, has chang

Hi all, Since we're into subjective impressions, I'll put on my flak jacket and share mine. Looking at Rob Sherwood's table, the top six receivers (FT-5000, K3, Perseus, Flex 5000, Orion I and II) lo
