Lee , are you saying the sweep does not work correctly in the O2? IF the sweep does not move when you move the VFO fast then that is not good at all. Any hope it will be fixed ? Toby W4CAK at
<<<<I'm not quite sure what you mean, but of course it moves when you tune. It doesn't move WHILE you tune, at "normal" tuning dial rates using the knob. The minute you stop, or even just hesitate, t
I agree with Merle that the V2 version of the firmware needs a lot of work before it resembles anything like what we have in V1 of the code. Stability is preferred of course, but not at the expense o
To one degree or another all the O2's sound this way, and also 2056 on the Classic Orion does not sound as good as on the V1 versions of software. I have commented to a few O2 owners that their audio
--3) In our opinions even with the OII setup as well as we can, Original Orion still sounds better>>>>> I can see now that my O1 is going up in value as each day goes by. Everyone is going to want th
Yes, that was a good post, but makes me wonder if maybe most of us will transition to SDR rigs like the one put out by Flex Radio as it becomes a mature technology in the next few years. If the Orion
Agreed! V 2.0 needs work in several areas, especially with the TX audio. But I think many of these areas have been already covered in past weeks so I will not list them. We can only assume that work
I have been disgusted with my Orion at times but it had nothing to do with anything said on this reflector. It is a good thing that people with differing points of view be allowed to express themselv
I am not sure of what consists of a production run, but it is either 50 or 100. Only one production run of the O2 is out there compared to thousands of Pro 3's. I used to have a Pro 3 and sold it. I
I have noticed this problem and installed a CPU fan to blow across the top on the Orion and this keeps the heat build up down considerably. I hung the fan under the shelf above the Orion attached wit
I am in agreement with you as far as the RF gain and the S meter is concerned. I have heard arguments for having the S meter go up as the RF gain goes down. But my preference would be to leave the wa
Bill, I have seen these comments or arguments before about the RF gain and s meter, and I never had any problems setting the RF gain or threshold, In fact I use an old version of the firmware 1.367 w
<<< With the new RF gain S meter interaction, the S meter is always correct if the signal is above the RF gain setting>>> IF THE SIGNAL IS ABOVE THE RF GAIN SETTINGS..... This is precisely my point,
Bill, there is nothing to get. I am merely stating that I would like the RF gain to be independent of the S meter and prefer it to work like it does in the 1.xxx version of software, instead of the w
Must have missed which rig you are talking about... the Orion or the Orion 2? by side with no antenna the Orion has much moee internal noise. I think it is just a fact of life. 50-60%..still suspect
Check and see if you might have the sub-receive AF gain cracked open a little. I often have had excess noise and find my sub receive AF gain is barely cracked open. it [mailto:tentec-bounces@contesti
