Jim, the N4PY software allows you to mute the RX. So there must be a software (firmware?) command that accomplishes that task. Those familiar with the Orion commands should be able to provide a solut
I just downloaded and installed the version 2 firmware and did a master reset (but not on the memories or the filter settings). Although the installation program reported a successful upgrade, the ra
Carl, here's an update on my latest experiences with 2.054/1.19f (I've copied the Orion and N4PY lists also.): 1. V1.119f has almost completely solved the excessive sensitivity problem in the sweep d
Grant, your comments on the Orion I's NR behavior were quite illuminating. I have complained about the increased noise issue on several occasions. I have to admit that the problem was erratic, and I
I am using firmware version 2.05 and it has been a major improvement over v. 1.372. However, I recently turned off my gear and when I turned it back on again, the display was much dimmer and I was no
Duane, thanks for your prompt reply. Well, after I sent my message, I upgraded from 2.055 to 2.056. The problem still exists, but it appears to be related to the Main tuning knob; it works fine when
John, thanks for your input. Well, the low contrast setting still persists (You should pardon the expression.), but it looks like the weird behavior of the selection (Main) knob must arise from a fau
Here's the answer from TT Service: Dear Joe: The internal contrast needs to be set. This control is accessible through a small hole on the bottom right of the front panel (looking from the front) wit
John, I spoke too soon. The highlighted line in every menu is now totally immobile whether using the front panel Main knob or the knob on the remote pod. Since I use the N4PY software, I don't need t

I am using a DEM transverter with my Orion. It has worked satisfactorily in the past, but now I am having a problem with both the control of output power and mike gain. The Orion works fine on HF, bu
Digest mode is a good idea. I'm glad you guys brought it up. 73, Joe _______________________________________________ Orion mailing list Orion@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listin
I've just been using 2.059d since this weekend, and there's no doubt that the main audio output level is down substantially. I've also observed that when using NR, the RF gain is reduced and has to b
Yes, I have just started using this new feature, but it doesn't seem to affect the reduced audio problem. K7HP seems to have made some reliable measurements confirming substantially reduced audio out
Gary, I have to agree with you. I originally posted that the NR was working better than ever, but with more experience now, I see that it is clipping weak signals badly, especially in high QRN condit
It's interesting to hear the our different impressions regarding the NR on the 1.372 and 2.056 firmware. On my Orion they always seemed to markedly increase the noise rather than reduce it. They beha
Merle, thank you for that detailed description of the NR operation. I have never seen that on the reflector before (although I was off the TT reflector for more than a year and only on the Orion list
Sinisa, I admit to not having referred to the manual in quite some time, but I just went to p. 46 in both the 2003 and 2005 manuals and could not find the phrase you quoted. I looked over that page a
OK, Martin, I am not going to argue. My first encounter with the term was when my Elmer, W2OKE and an EE, referred to it when I was 16 years old. At first, I thought he was joking, and the vision of
Bill, thanks. I remember Sinisa's paper, but I never had much luck with it. Nevertheless, I'll reinstall 1.373b5 and try exactly what you suggest. There is no doubt that there was too much RF gain. H
