When I try to run the downloaded update, I get the following error message: "Can't find C:MYDOWN~1.ORIONU~1.cfg" This is my first attempt at upgrading my ORION's firmware. Am I doing something wrong?
Lowell, You can turn the relay "On" or "Off" in the software menu. It is probably turned off and only needs to be turned on. I don't have an Omni V anymore so you'll have to check in the handbook for
Only need two tubes (572B) for the 600w. Why not pick up a used Centaur? Basically the same amp as an 811H but with Ten-Tec quality, built-in QSK, and set up to work with all Ten-Tec rigs. You can pi
J, Gud thinking thru the problem. I had already placed the file in a dedicated folder and tried. I shortened the file's name to 8 characters and tried to run it. I get the exact same error message. A
Thanks to all who attempted to assist me today. My email has been down all day and just now came back up. The status is still the same: the upgrade has not yet completed successfully. I've checked bo
And of course TNX to all of the others who helped. The reason my update did not run from the laptop is because I had (in setup) the box ticked for "stop if error". I unticked that box and the update
Hey guys, I just packed my ORION back into its box and sent it to one of our MULTI-SINGLE contest sites for the upcoming CQ160m SSB contest. SURPRISE: I found a Serial cable inside the box. I feel ki
Richard, Reverse the order, then I agree. The preselector really did make a big difference. Ten-Tec didn't invent it. All radios used to have them. Others just quit too soon. Next, at the risk of bei
Chuck, you've got it! Full 10 pts. It's really a shame the vendors stopped doing that. In the meantime, preselectors are coming back "in" again: - one of the latest FT-1000's - Icom 703 Let's hope ot
Without a doubt, this is one very WEAK point that Ten-Tec forgot about in their planning of the ORION. As I said in an earlier post, I have loaned out my Orion to a contest team for an upcoming conte
Hi Adam, Ken's answer was an outstanding explanation of what all you might expect, in general, but you didn't get any specific answers to your questions (from anybody). Perhaps nobody here runs that
Yes, you are missing something ;-) Besides switching bands on amplifiers, there are numerous accessories which need to be band switched (e.g., remote antenna switches and external bandpass filters).
Bernard, You have had several recommendations now. There are good arguments for both sides of the story. For contests and really serious work, I would lock it in at 2.4 kHz. However, for day-to-day o
One small point, [almost] ALL older rigs, Ten-Tec or otherwise had a minor blemish when trying to work split with a large difference in TX and RX frequency. Since they had a built-in preselector, you
My ARGOSY (Analog) dial cord and 100 kHz indicator have finally died. Apparently I have to remove the front panel to fix it. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need parts so I have decided I'll order whate
Jeff, Sorry, I forgot to say, I don't need the D-104 either, although I fine that mic lovely! Rick _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lis
John, The advantage of the Jupiter is the ability to control it by software (e.g., N4PY), and its flexible DSP filters. The advantage of the Omni VI is its ultimate ability to pull in weak signals un

Yes, I noticed that too. After tuning my linear (using the Tune button and no built-in AT), when I keyed under normal power, it took a couple of dits or dahs until the power came up to snuff. But rea
