I agree. However Scott told me late last winter it would be available soon, so his definition may vary. Bob W2WG Scott ay TT said it will be available 'SOON' I.m guessing that's all you will get unti
And apparently the server at the software site has gone insane. But at least it is here so hopefully V2 can be downloaded after the server illness is cured. Bob W2WG V 2.028 is on the web. Visit http
JT- I just bought one used, but it hasn't arrived. Something about the way TenTec implemented the grounding of the microphone jack in the Orion causes a lot of folks to have RF and 60HZ pickup proble
I was told "very soon" in spring, 2005. Bob W2WG I know this will rattle some of the TT mainstays, but TT's definition of "very soon" is strange. Based on a bunch of emails dating back to October 200
I was troubled by the Ocean Noise for a good while and thought there was a noisy stage somewhere along the line. But I found in my case that was not the problem--and that in my case there was no prob
Band noise on 160m was very low last night. I ran gain at 100%. No ocean noise. Worked 3y0x on 160m. Usually on 160m here the band noise is much to high to run so much gain. Bob W2WG Jeeze, me either
By any chance do you have anything connected to a RX antenna input? This is a good way to feed RF power from the TX into the transceiver if there is significant coupling to the RX antenna. It is also
Hi, Steve I downloaded the new version but have decided to let sleeping dogs lie a little longer. It sounds like there are a few weirdnesses in the new version and I don't want to be the guinea pig t
I think for the first time (I have had the rig 1+years) I tried to get the internal tuner to tune with the main TX assigned to ANT1. Nothing happened. I have rarely used the tuner but have never had
Grant Thanks. It is enabled. I don't see anything about enabling on a port, though. In any event with it set to enabled, punching the tune button results in it tuning on ANT 1 but not ANT 2. Does you
Wes Thanks. Makes sense now that I think about it. Bob W2WG The tuner only works for ANT 1, per item #62, page 25, in the manual. --Original Message-- From: tentec-bounces@contesting.com [mailto:tent
I am still using 1.372 and haven't seen SWR variations as extreme as you report but have seen numbers like 1.0, 1.5 etc in pretty much random order. Looking at a real meter between rig and amp showed
With the AL80B and Al1500, neither of which are QSK, I can hear pretty well when the Orion drops back into receive but the relays in the amps have not been released--sort of like having QSK in a non-
There have been a number of discussions about the accuracy of the Orion 1 SWR meter. My feeling has been that it is not a precision instrument, but recently I have been puzzled about a situation in w
It's simple and free to register. You don't have to use their email. Bob W2WG thank you, only one BIG problem: i am not a Yahoo member, guess one has to become one to use the facilities! jack _______
I have been a little irritated by the audio performance of the Orion using the TenTec external long-throw speaker. As far as I know this is not firmware related. It MAY be due to the power handling c
Hi, Tony It's been there since the beginning. I'm still using 1.372. I'm probably used to the 6V6 outputs of yesteryear. Bob W2WG Does this happen with your favorite 1.xxx version firmware or just 20
Having the same type jack for the key and the phones, and an audio circuit which will self destruct if you plug in mono phones seems like a significant oversight too. I assume, but don't know, that t
I don't have a Jupiter so can't comment directly, but the description of the rf gain sounds very much like what TenTEc did with Orion 1 in firmware 1.372. Bob W2WG --Original Message-- From: tentec-b
