Hello, I made my subscription to this reflector with the intention to buy an ORION II on a short term and I try to get as much as possible inputs and comments from TT Orion II users. As my operation
hello, I use my orion for 90% ssb,10 RTTY. I consistantly get outstanding audio reports. my microphone is the TenTec Studio one, fed directly in to the radio.I use the Orions onboard eq and have had
Ben, like many other recent DSP based rigs, the Orion/Orion II V2 code has been "work in progress" for some time. There was a point in the firmware releases where, in my opinion, the V2 speech proces
Ben, I have had my O2 for a few years and I had an O for a year before lightning killed it and the ARRL insurance paid for the O2 (almost all). I use the rig for SSB and digital modes. I have had ver
I agree with Merle that the sound of the processing is among the best out there, but most operators notice that Orion's don't seem to drive a linear as hard as most other rigs. I looked at the wavefo
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
Yes, the average power may be pushed higher, but is the intelligibility of the signal any better. Lately when I go up on SSB, I hear a lot of signals compressed beyond the ability to understand. Mayb
Ben I have the Orion with the Heil HM 10 mike and I also get great reports on my audio. The HM 10 has both elements in it, but I usually use the element 5. I mostly work DX on SSB and CW. Art WA8VSJ
I am very satisfied with my Orion II . I have received nothing but good reports on my audio (705 mic ) . My mic out put is around 60 and I bust pile ups on a regular basis. The Orion II is a fantasti
Regarding average power output, different ALC attack/release time constants within different radios will have a marked effect on average power. Secondly, those commenting are likely using different m
Mike (w2AJI) said: -- " Even with the compressor set at 7, the O2 will produce about 20 to 25 watts average output at 70 watts PEP" "The audio in the O2, even with the compressor set at 7 is very goo
In "audio" terms, it is common to see average level being some 6 to 10 dB below peak power. Therefore, with 100 watts peak one would expect to see 20 to 25 watts output average. This is with little t
Hi, Thanks to all of you who answered my request It was a great help for me to make the right decision I hope. Very much appreciated. Hope to hear all of you some day on the band 73's Ben ON5GQ _____
