Just got my Orion II also, replacing an ailing IC-775DSP which has been in the shop a couple months for repairs. Here's an interesting site that has an Orion "wish list" for the next update. http://w
Is there still a SW guy at TT? If you check their web page under careers you see an opening for software. May explain the delay in an O2 update. Jim My shiny new Orion 2 arrived today, and I'm in lov
Well so far I like my O-II so I will be patient. TT has a number of options: (1) Subcontract out to the original SW designer for after hours work, assuming he isn;t excluded from doing this by his ne

I am using the sound card direct to the O2 auxiliary Conn with ham radio deluxe and dM780. So far it works fine but I am going to get an outboard usb sound card interface like navigator. Jim n4be Jim
Yes I had a nice chat with Glenn on the phone today when I made my order. He's a real believer. Seems like there is a high demand for these things - Data modes must be getting popular! And I cannot b
An OCF (Off Center Fed) antenna works much better. Feed with coax. Low SWR on all bands. Good reports. I'm using one. Jim N4BE http://hamcall.net/7bandocf.html That will work, but will always be some
Using HRD sound card into rear panel auxiliary input. With speech proc off I get only about 50 watts out with max audio drive measured on rf wattmeter. The O2 meter shows 100 watts, not 50. If I turn
Let me clarify one thing I didn't mention. I am using the "Navigator" USB sound card interface box, which works quite nicely otherwise. The O2 spec says it needs -6 dBm audio to the aux connector to
You are right, when I set the drive audio until the ALC just stops flashing on the O2 then I get about 30-40 watts out, or in that range, which is what has been recommended by others. That's where I
Thanks to all for the suggestions. On RTTY AFSK (basically a constant carrier)I do get about 80-90 watts out on second measurement, with Navigator set to max outputs. The Navigator still seems to be
What I saw as a "sine" envelope is apparently normal for PSK, and probably not some kind of ground problem. See waveform descriptions at: http://www.ssiserver.com/info/pskmeter/pacificon2002.pdf or h
Some do build them in. My old retired Icom 775 does RF speech processing at a 9 Mhz TX IF. In hardware, not dsp. But I believe it can be done identically and probably better with software dsp at IF,
Get the money rolling? Are these updates free, or do we pay for them? Well this is just one more incidence where a company makes an announcement or leaks information in anticipation of something happ
Does Icom provide upgrades with software? I don't see it being done. Instead we will see a never ending stream of revisions such as the 746, 746 Pro, 746 Pro III, etc. to fix problems. Let's see, 780
There have been some comparisons to Icom radios. Yes they are pretty and complex with more buttons than any reasonable person could remember - only out-buttoned by Yaesu. I have owned several Icom ra
There's a limit to what you can do in software. DSP processors only have so much processing capacity. A FFT (fast Fourier Transform) takes up so many calculation steps, then updating the display take
Great! If I should want to revert back to the original version, how do I do that? N4BE http://radio.tentec.com/file_download/130/Orion-Setup-2.041XL.exe Enjoy, 73 de Billy, AA4NU ____________________
I see it now in the download. Is there a change revision text file that describes the changes before one decides to load it? Jim M Jim: The old version is still posted on the downloads page, so if yo
