Art, You won't be sorry getting the Orion II. I sure am not sorry I made the change, even though I thought I was being foolish when I did it!! Even more fun. Jack sure made a lot of nice points in hi

Tom, Good email, but you left out ONE thing. The absolute joy of setting BW at 250 or so, under a 300 cycle roofing filter, and having a nice RTTY chat with a very weak signal, even if others close b

Jack and Tom, you two are definitely NOT the only two that are very happy with their Orions!! Mine is a II now, but had the "original" as well and have loved both. I hope more of us "happy owners" wi

I think, sadly, that John was right. There is NO hope for this reflector. The threads get so distorted, so quickly, that they are unusable. I'm gone. Will not try to "help" any more and will unsubscr

George, If your problem isn't solved, my "simple mind" may see a simpler solution. I would wire a stereo plug on the mono phones as it shows in the manual and eliminate the extra box and cord. My RF

Doug, I have not yet gone to the "new" firmware, just looking at what is said on here. It hasn't been much, so far!! I don't care for the NR on any of the versions I have seen, either with my origina

Well, Grant, it isn't worth it to me at this point in the learning curve if it doesn't actually help anything. I'm happy so far with what I see, why would I want to add yet another variable?? Just my

Ron, I use -18 on TX eq because that's what the group I am in liked with the PR-40. I do have a deep voice, but thought that might be radical too! 73, Don, WB5HAK

I have an Inrad 352 (same as Inrad 762) 600 hz, 9 mhz IF filter for sale. It will work in the Omni series radios and as a roofing filter in the Orion (plugged into the 1000 hz filter slot). I'll sell

I have a nice 352 Inrad (same as current 762 Inrad) 9 mhz IF 600 cycle filter for the Corsair II, Omni V/VI/VI+ or can be used in the original Orion as a roofing filter. On the Orion, works best if y

Please correct my last posts on this filter. It fits ONLY the original Orion (or Orion II if you wish to modify the mounting, I have read). I thought it fit the Omni and Corsair series, but was mista

Wish I had known Ten Tec was coming out with the new microphones before I plunked down the change for this PR-40!! That 709A looks very nice, and am anxious to hear how it works. I still have my old

Bob, I'm sure you will get all kinds of ideas, and the advice I have already seen concerning roofing filters vs standard ones is good, but I just installed all three optional ones in my O2 today. I'm

Scott, Is it possible to still get a copy of the video you made about use of the Orion?? Even though I have the Orion II, I think it would help me work through some of the settings better to see/hear

Apologies to the group. Meant that last one for Scott Robbins at Ten Tec. I guess I clicked on the wrong message to reply to, hi. Also, noticed I missed the ad on their site (two places, no less) som

I would like to email directly with someone with a Titan III so I can ask some questions. I am considering adding one to my Orion II and would like some first hand info, hi. Tks, Don, WB5HAK
