.... and the Orion (565) update is where? It looks like 565 update is NOT posted on the download pages. Thanks a bunch! 73, Rick VE7TK Website: http://www3.telus.net/ve7tk To: tentec@contesting.com
I believe this a harmonic from the PTO? The PTO in Ten-Tec rigs generates a frequency between 5.0 and 5.5 MHz (see 3-14 in the manual). Four times that would be a tone close to 21.320 MHz. As I re
Jeff I have had excellent results with the simple home-brew SSTV/PSK31 interface described by Ralph (WB8DQT). It provides a bit of isolation from potential ground loops and uses a serial port for PT
Dean -- you can't rush these things ;-{ It's only been 23 months since the last update! Perhaps T-T will relent and issue an Orion (565) BETA like they did in February 2009 for O-II owners?? There a
I see the Ten-Tec "Product Status" page has been updated. The main changes refer to the Orion (subsequent Beta release planned) and the Jupiter. http://radio.tentec.com/status/ The statement "
I think I've found a problem with 2.063Xg. Here's the scenario. 1) I have my 565 under the control of the N4PY software. 2) I go to the RX menu and toggle the AGC System Type (it doesn't see
Yes Carl. Rebooting the Orion (after closing the rig control and logging software) rejuvenates the rig and it's back to normal. 73, Rick VE7TK To: Re: [TenTec] Orion 565 Problem with 2.063Xg?? Reply
WRONG! The serial port shuts down to ALL external software I've tried! Also, as I've stated, it goes back to normal when the rig is rebooted! 73, Rick VE7TK Website: http://www3.telus.net/ve7tk To:
I've been trying the AF vs RF AGC and there seems to be a problem. I decided to compare the NR function on the two AGC modes. With the RF AGC the noise reduction NR works as normal. With the AF AGC
Your right Tom. I went through the settings again. I reset the menu to AF AGC, rebooted the rig and set NR to 1. With the audio at MAX then I CAN hear VERY weak audio. On my rig that is way too low
Giuseppe I think you have some good questions. 1) A more complete description of AF versus RF AGC would be worthwhile. 2) According to the "What's New" file that came with 2.063Xg the change from RF
Okay - I give up! Can someone please point me to the Orion schematic which shows where the backup battery enters the circuitry? I've gone through the schematics until my eyes hurt and I guess I kee
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Sinisa. I sent a note to T-T and they have it in stock. The SNAPHAT battery pack is available from Ten-Tec ($10 + $6 shipping) and Digi-Key ($8.19 + $8
So now I guess this begs the question - Why use the M4T32-BR12SH1 battery? If the xtal in the battery pack is not used why use such an exotic battery? Yes it "snaps" onto U501 but user accessibility
The Orion's battery is shown in the 565 Version 2 firmware mod documentation for: Orion V2 Logic Mod http://radio.tentec.com/downloads/transceivers/565 The battery is visible in the picture
There's an access hole on the bottom of the Orion about 1 inch (2.5 cm) behind the USER2 button. It provides access to a trim pot or variable capacitor. What does this adjust? Thanks. 73, Rick VE7TK
Rich I am using an older David Clark boom set (H10-30). I do NOT recommend the noise canceling microphone. It will work BUT the audio is quite constrained. In my 1st on-air test with the H10-30 I
I decided to check out the file referenced in the current discussion. (http://www.w4ish.net/Manuals/pdf/Orion%20RIT%20Encoder%20Replacement.pdf)I was very surprised to find it is the document I
Anthony there was no way you could have easily known. So you are in no way to be faulted here. The reference you provided links to the document that was intended to help others! That's what it's a
