I go by Buck on the air -- old habit -- easier to send CW and more easily recognized. Don't you change volume when you put on the phones? Or need to dig a weak signal out? Or maybe your hearing is be

Well, the credit card bill arrived and the thirty days is almost up. Time to decide: should it stay or should it go? I am getting over some of my earlier gripes but I have two more issues: 1. Fuzzy s

On a related issue: I am trying to drive PSK through the Aux input and find it requires me to set the Speech Processor to 8 in order to get enough PSK audio to have any output. I have the Menus>SSB>A
I am noticing double signals on PSK reception and it appears the Orion "line out" is seriously overdriving the computer audio soundcard. As was pointed out to me on another reflector, Windows audio c
No, even with the 100K/1K divider, I can attenuate the input signal down to nothing but I cannot make the double go away. I am beginning to wonder if this could be coming from the Orion and not the s
I have solved the problem with the help of the good folks at TenTec. The problem was I was seeing a duplicate PSK signal about 500 hz away from the main signal. It had been suggested the radio was ov
Grant You got it right. To explain it better to everyone else: Under the Audio button it is possible to have either the main or sub receiver or both go into the left ear and the main or sub or both g
Without. 1. The rig is very tolerant of SWR. I thought I read in one of the earlier ads that it could handle 3:1 as is. Most built in antenna tuners don't do much better. Mine has no power foldback a
I had everything set up all nice and pretty with my Yaesu Field but I am now trying to set up the Orion. I get a constant key down when I key the on the DTR line (which I am using to key the CW). It
Barry I am running a Quadra and so far no problems except that you get about 650 watts out on low instead of 500 and about 1200 on high. I guess it is because the 100 watts drive from the Orion (I ac
To recap the problem: I was using the opto-isolator circuit shown on page 55 of the Writelog manual to key the rig. The rig would go into transmit and not send dit and dahs and stay in transmit until
Your firmware is not installing completely. You must get every line of code over to the Orion or there will be problems. The problem is either a corrupt download or something happening between your P
The sweep never was fast enough to keep up with tuning changes even in the previous firmware. I just read the scale, add or subtract from the display frequency and tune to where I expect the signal t
Interesting behavior. I just had the NR running and when I turned it off the sweep froze. Turning NR back on got the sweep going again. Turning off the sweep and turning it back on has no effect. Cha
I took labels and put them on up-side-down so when you stretch over the top and look at them, they are right-side-up. Radio k4ia Craig "Buck" Fredericksburg, Virginia USA ____________________________
I would bet it is part of a protection scheme to make sure you don't hit full power into the wrong antenna or no antenna. It gives the protection circuits in both the Orion and your linear a chance t
I too have noticed sweep lockups. I don't use the sweep all the time, in fact rarely, but whenever I do it will lockup if the rig has been on for a few hours. I also notice the sub-receiver audio sto
