In January of 2009 I joined the Omni VII group on Yahoo. I did not, and still do not, own an Omni VII., however, I had heard a lot of good things about the Omni VII firmware development. As an Orion

Bill I know nothing about the rigs involved BUT check out the archives: http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/TenTec/2009-02/msg00050.html Good luck. 73, Rick VE7TK Website: http://www3
Unless he's bought another Orion, I think Doug is doing a little bit of trolling? http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/TenTec/2009-04/msg00204.html 73, Rick VE7TK Website: http://www3.telus.net
I have recently installed an International Radio 902 filter in the sub-receiver of my Orion. I have written up the installation on my website for those interested. It is located in the "Ten-Tec Inf
Well John the comments that follow are entirely subjective. The results are as you might expect when you change a 2-pole 15 kHz wide roofing filter with a 6-pole 4 or 5 kHz wide filter. However, th
Will, I no longer own an Omni V.9 but I found my notes. There are 2 things that can be done: See section 3.3.5 in manual - Power off - Push Reset button (on the side of the Omni V) and hold >>
Let's try that again without the reformatting by Yahoo. Rick -- Will, I no longer own an Omni V.9 but I found my notes. There are 2 things that can be done: (1) See section 3.3.5 in manual - Powe
Does anyone know the specifications of the Orion sub-receiver's 45 MHz monolithic crystal filter. The filter is: Siward 45S151AT I believe that is 45 MHz and 15 kHz wide. However, the inpu
With all this discussion on the Orion II (566) "Fix-It" what about the original Orion. I used the last Beta firmware 2.063xG for a brief period and, like many others, sent bug reports to ditsnbits.
Well it has been almost 4 months (May 2009) since the release of, what some cynically refer to as, the Dayton 2009 Hamfest "Beta" firmware for the Orion. I, like many more, dutifully sent in a bug r
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
