An easy mod and, in my opinion, worth the effort. It's on the wiki at: http://tentecwiki.org/doku.php?id=orion_molex_to_power_pole_mod I found the appropriate brass tubing at the local hobby shop.
Actually Rick if you look at the logbook position the operator is likely left-handed. That would put the key/paddle in his neat shack, with the cable routed behind the desk, right under your callsig
Art here's a thought - are you using an RS-232 to USB converter? Somewhere in the archives I'm sure you'll find discussion on the weird interactions of some of the USB/Serial converters. I'd sugges
Steve you need the Ten-Tec Model 311 Band Data Converter or similar. This device, to my knowledge, has never been on the T-T website so it will likely require a phone call to TN. The cable you had
It's the yellow module in Step 4 and Step 6 photos of: https://www.tentec.com/downloads/manuals/565/Orion%20V2%20Logic%20Mod.pdf The battery type was discussed here last week and it's also
Check the power supply and then I'd consider the A9 board capacitors! The latter is worth doing anyway!! http://n6ie.com/A9_Fix.html Of course this mod applies ONLY to the Orion and Orion II. I've
Now here's a Ten-Tec product that could REALLY use a logic board update!! A great tuner but showing it's age! 73, Rick VE7TK Website: http://www.ve7tk.com -- Subject: Re: [TenTec] TT-253 Tuner Hel
If a pass transistor has failed (shorted) that would trip the OVP. Reset the relay BUT before you try it on the rig put a meter on the output. 73, Rick VE7TK Website: http://www.ve7tk.com To: "'D
Version 3.026 is the firmware for the Orion II. I assume you mean Version 3.025 for the Orion (565). So yes I have tried V3 for the 565. I have the original sub-receiver. I have modified the logic
I believe the sweep problem was also a Version 1.xxx firmware problem (hence a 565 problem) that went away with Version 2.xxx. As Barry says, if you are having a problem with the sweep in Version 3.
Karl you should test the output into a dummy load on all bands. If the symptoms are similar on 12 metres and 10 metres then I'd suspect a relay failure. I have written up the repair process on my w
I don't own one but I believe the Eagle only has a AUX output. I don't think it has an input for the Remote pod. 73, Rick VE7TK Website: http://www.ve7tk.com To: Discussion of Ten-Tec Equipment <t

I assume you mean firmware 3.030 for the Orion 565?? I am using this firmware and N4PY 3.03B with no problem. 73, Rick VE7TK Website: http://www.ve7tk.com To: "Discussion of Ten-Tec Equipment" <te
Working on the assumption that your Orion 1 is actually an Orion, the mod your after is on the Ten-Tec wiki: http://www.tentecwiki.org/doku.php?id=orion_molex_to_power_pole_mod 73, Rick VE7TK Webs
I have recently acquired a 229A tuner. It needed a few repairs - mainly mechanical - but otherwise seems in good shape. I've replaced the dial elastic cord and it tunes smoothly and consistently. I
I hung my DVM off the 200uA meter plug and it is completely within specs. Fully adjustable and it seems to be working. So it looks like the Korean made 229A meter has failed. I'll have to do some t
Thanks for the suggestion Carl. The original diodes are 1N4148 as indicated on the schematic. Since these were so plentiful in my spares I replaced the pair of diodes in the 229A circuit before my
Thanks Bill - As mentioned in an earlier post I had already replaced the diodes and the problem persisted. http://lists.contesting.com/_tentec/2012-07/msg00010.html I really think it's the 200 u
I ordered the caps from the Ukraine a week ago. I looked at the 229A and was contemplating your exact procedure. Thanks for confirming the methodology. As for the meter. I have an LP-100A external
