Hello O2 Fans: To quantify the issue a little better, my measurements show that the O2 produces an average power output that is about 3 db lower than the typical imported radio. Even with the compres
Hello Orion II Fans: To the left of the VFO A and VFO B frequency displays, are the letters A and B. Letter A is highlighted, and letter B, below it, is not. What is the significance of the highlight

Ron: In the current firmware, the average power output of the O2, while running the RF Processor, is greatly effected by the drive level of the microphone preamp. Using the ALC indicator lamp as a gu
Hi Merle: It is interesting that this early criticism of the O2, that is lower average power output for any given PEP, has not been more fully discussed here. Many operators have noted that the O2 do
Hello Lee: Please see my answers below: Mike, So you are using audio compression AND OII SP? Yes Why do you need audio compression with SP? MAyb I should get a TT 31 or the one you have? I use the W2

Hello Rick: I have one sitting on the shelf here which I picked up a couple of years ago. It is not necessary with my Orion II. Make an offer. 73 and Happy DXing, Mike W2AJI _________________________

The ALC set does not calibrate the meter, it will adjust the maximum output. Pse see the procedure on my website. Mike W2AJI Adjust the ALC SET pot (R179) on the A5 IF Board, beneath the speaker. 73,
I would have to go to the trouble of reading the schematic, but I guess I assumed that it is the maximum permissible collector current set. This would be how Ten Tec protects the final transistors. W
Hello Tom: You might want to take a look at the article on my website as to how to optimize the processor in the O2 to drive your amplifier more easily on SSB. You will find the page here: http://hom
The triodes are a zero bias tube, and 200 mils sounds close for no bias voltage. The amp should still make power, although in the wrong class of service. If it does make power, you have lost your cut
Hello Joe: You might be interested as to why the longer coax between your driver and amp allows for more output, or full output with less driving power. Please see "Driving an Amplifier with a High I
Yes, the article mentions the use of the line isolator which is indeed nothing more than a hunk of ferrite slid over a piece of coax. 73, Mike W2AJI One thing I have almost always done is to use an R
