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
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

I rarely use the MON function on my Orion (565) but decided to give it a try recently. Well it doesn't seem to be working the way it should. Here's the set-up: 1) firmware 1.373b5 2) MON level at 100
