when in reality, a simple change makes it work flawlessly now No, that is not true. I got complaints of key clicks a khz away on an Orion 1 using the latest and greatest software without a keying loo
I thought the QST review was fairly negative. A lot of "damning by slight praise." The overall tone of the review was negative with lots of side remarks about shortcomings: "it does so at the expense
I thought the QST article was really unfair. Most QST reviews are so gooey-gushy positive you have to read between the lines to get a hint of the truth. This article was out of character in that it e
"Why the sudden change in review style for the Orion II? Why so little space devoted to the superb performance aspects of this radio and so much space devoted to a few problem areas?" I agree complet
Wouldn't it be nice to have several stable software versions to choose from? Fix the instability problems in ver 1.371 without changing the NR for instance. Just like one could choose to use Word or
And might I add - TT engineers would no longer need to spend time on OI or OII code. They are done and free to work on the next project. In the meantime, the software development goes on, free-of-cha
Well said. I just thought the review was out of character with the normal positive slant you see in QST reviews. If QST is initiating a new policy of critical reviews, I am all for it. But if the rev
I feel I'm wasting my time discussing dead end issues. Use the delete button - or as we say on the air "Spin the dial" There's something for everyone in this hobby. I am sure you will find what you a

Should the latter turn out to be true, expect Inrad to offer a 4-5 kHz roofer at 45 MHz in the blink of an eye! If INRAD can do it, why not TT? Without much narrower roofing filters, I suspect this r

Why is it when someone decides to leave the list because of complaining, whining, nit-picking, SHOUTING, and bloated posts, they inevitably do it by SHOUTING a long complaining, whining, nit-picking
Gee it made more sense to me than a lot of the posts I have seen. Lot more sense than a RadioWorks antenna writeup. k4ia Craig "Buck" Fredericksburg, Virginia USA ____________________________________
Wow - that's great! I agree that TT is #1. I've had my experience with the others and there is no comparison. k4ia Craig "Buck" Fredericksburg, Virginia USA __________________________________________
- 1. If I use the supplied audio cable to directly connect the Orion II to the computer, is there any danger to the Orion in doing so (as in wrong voltages blowing up the Orion)? It can work just fin
is that the Orion (1.373b5) There's your problem. As I recall that version had an issue with lockups. Maybe others will comment but I would say try a newer version of the software or go back to 1.371
To tell when the roofing filters kick in: First make sure you have the roofing filter setting to AUTO in the Filter Menu. There is a line above the display showing the filter width. It represents the

The ones based on the Prolific chip set seem to work the best. It can be frustrating getting the setup right. You may have to reboot your computer a few times to get it right. k4ia Craig "Buck" Frede
Orion I here. AGC slope is a new concept to me and I can't find a good explanation of what is going on. Can someone point me in the right direction? I do like the slower attack with the new AGC. I th
