Sorry for the lengthy description. To all that responded to my Orion "band data" switching of a coax relay it seems that I can't do what I want to do which is, use the band data plug connected to the
Geoffrey; You are almost correct. I like to use "ant-1" for my 160-30 meter operation at 100 watts that uses a MFJ-993 automatic 300 watt tuner to a MFJ-1704 4 port coax switch. If I want to make mor
My O2 will be arriving 12/28, can't wait. As for trading it in, which I will do, I figure I don't need the hassle of selling it outright to someone, and have that someone, not pleased and want their
I also had problems with my Orion a month back. Couldn't use the sub receiver, no signals but background noise. I tried all the obvious re-sets. TT said send it in. Being a inquisitive ham I took the
Just received my OII. First impressions are: 1. The sweep is much faster than my O. Almost instantaneous! 2. The color screen, wow, it is sure bright. Set mine to "low". On "high" you can see the OII

No, as I said to another reply I live in country. The only sounds out here are the cows mooing. I'm still trying to figure out the AGC settings. I wrote all the settings that I used on my O and my O2
My original Orion with internal tuner would not tune the lower ends of 80 and 160 meters. The antenna is a 270 foot center fed with open wire terminating at a 4:1 balun outside the shack and then on
The tuner in the OII is definitely a keeper!! It tunes all my antennas. Of course some are coax fed and there is a vertical nether of which needs tuning but I still hit the tune button and let her ri
I have the same problem, stuck S-Meter, no sweep, and receiver is down in sensitivity. A call to TT and I was told, "they are aware of the problem and are working on it". I just turn off my OII and b
Can't imagine a better tuner. The internal TT OII tuner tunes my unruly open wire fed/bauln/coax antennas just fine. Memory isn't what I needed, range was, and the OII has it. George
I'm considering purchasing EasyLog version 5. I have been told by the manufacture that it does not support the Orion???? Is there a converter or something that would let the two talk the same languag
Been using commercial 450 ohm open wire feeders for my 270 foot center fed flat top for 12 years with no problem. I run it to a balun just outside of the shack and coax into a tuner. George
Anyone received the OII yet? Is it out there in the hands of someone besides the Ten Tec people? Also, anyone seen version 2 of the Orion software yet? If not when is it scheduled to be released? Geo
Sure would be nice to know if LDG tuners will mount inside the Orion-II?? If it is a seamless install I'd opt for my OII without a TT tuner and install the LDG. George
Does anyone know of a make/model of light dimmer that doesn't trash my 160 and 80 meter ham radio operation. Today I installed a GE dimmer and immediately put back the old on/off switch after listeni
