Rick Westerman, DJ0IP, one of the authors of the Bavarian CC's review of the Orion, sent me an e-mail, the pertinent parts of which follow: "Please allow me to state that the rig used for the test wa

While waiting for zero hour of the CQ WW CW contest, these thoughts occur on the recent postings re software-driven base station rigs. 1. They are (with the odd exception of the IC-746PRO) damnably e

My prediction: within 3 years, you'll be able to purchase a QRP transceiver in the above configuration for under $200. 73, Dave, AA6YQ You can buy a 1w HF SDR now for $499.95. I'm thinking of picking

Author: John Rippey <w3uls@3n.net>
Date: Fri, 05 Dec 2003 13:42:22 -0500
The ARRL lab has found the Orion's transmitted phase noise to be the lowest of any rig ever tested there. It's -140 db/Hz from the get-go. If I read the ARRL Handbook correctly (2004 edition), transm

The #961 PS I use with an OMNI VI has a ground lug. The switching PS that comes with the IC-746PRO, and an Astron switcher I own do not. Why the ground lug on the 961? Is it a case of belt-and-suspen

It's interesting to compare the ORION's numbers against the venerable OMNI VI. In a QEX article (9-10/02) T. Raczek included a table showing the drop-off in performance between measurements at 20 kHz

Terry's table is very useful. Another take on the same data can be found at: http://www.ringstad-radio.com/comparing_rigs.pdf Unfortunately, the RSGB data is not directly comparable to the ARRL's lab

Date: Sat, 13 Dec 2003 19:15:06 -0500
Let's not forget that you have to build the K2 and that it's a bit cumbersome to operate, and the ORION, for all its greatness, is simply EXPENSIVE. 73 Rick By my accounting, when you add up the K2 o

Check issues such as use of poor noisy power supply, inadequate power leads. Leads from supply to rig not twisted pair, etc. Make sure connectors are tight, lugs on power supply are tight etc. -Stuar

John, The 961 and 962 don't really handle enough current to run the ORION (to full power). You need 24A for an ORION and the two older units cut off at 20A. 73 Rick Rick: Thanks for the info. I was w

I see that one of the changes in the new update has to do with the operation of RIT/XIT. Next I'd like to see Ten-Tec improve the operation of RIT/XIT on the Argonaut V per previous comments in a new

Hello, Dave: Re your comment on the T-T reflector, how do your OMNI VI and the Jupiter stack up? I have an OMNI VI, which is as you know a very good all-around CW rig. Does the Jupiter add value? 73,

Thank you, Mark, et al: Based on what I've heard, there seems little, if anything, to be gained by moving from the OMNI VI to a Jupiter, and some advantage to keeping the old rig. 73, John, W3ULS ___
