I was using Logic 7 with an Orion I and now am running Logic 8. I haven't noticed a lag. If you can't figure out what is going on, give the program author a call. He is very helpful and responsive. B
I use the Airpax in line with my Orion. It is a fast breaker, and it seems reasonable to use it. But as a licensed ham since 1959 and having used many transceiver powered by Astron supplies, I have n
TomI have an Orion and am using Airpax. What caused your breaker to trip? So far I haven' tripped mine, but I want to stay away from shipping the Orion back. Bob W2WG I run an airpax on the cable to
I disconnect things outside associated with the tower, rotor etc, when I know a real ripper is coming, protect connectors from moisture, and walk the lines to a spots in the backyard well away from t
You will note the Belkin ad does not claim compatibility with XP. On several XP computers I had blue screens of death which after a lot of investigation led back to the Belkin. Not everyone has this
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
I consider the "commonality" of many of the connectors on the Orion to be one of the dumbest things about the design. I have never had another rig that did not use distinct or keyed connectors to pre
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
