I am running an Orion with the ACOM 1000. With TxOut connected to the ACOM key in, and the ACOM key out connected back to TxEn of the Orion, QSK is perfect with the AMP. The Orion interfaces perfectl
You can definitely adjust the ALC in the Omni V. It is very similar to the Corsair in that respect. I don't have my Omni V manual anymore so I can't tell you what pot to adjust. If memory serves me c
The baud rate you set your comport at is overridden by the Orion update software. The Orion only works at 57600 baud. The speed you configure the comport to in your windows settings is meaningless. C
I just emailed version 1.06 of my Orion Control Program to all my Orion registered users. If you are a registered user of this software, you should now have it. 73, Carl Moreschi N4PY Franklinton, NC
John, I guarentee you that was not the thing that made it work. All good programs set all the comport parameters themselves and do not rely on the user to set these things in the windows settings. Ca
I've been misquoted on the 1000 hertz filter. I said it had a shape factor of 3 to 1 but I have not removed it and looked at to see how many poles it had. I believe Bill said it was a 4 pole. I do no
That sounds like 4 poles to me. Carl Moreschi N4PY Franklinton, NC -- Original Message -- From: "John L Merrill" <jmerrill1@adelphia.net> To: <tentec@contesting.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2003
Ron, How about doing a little experiment. Change the parameters on your windows settings for the Orion comport to 1200 baud. The Orion will only work at 57600 baud. Then run the Orion update program
John, I just tune mine on the nearest ham band. That's good enough for SWL use. 73, Carl Moreschi N4PY Franklinton, NC -- Original Message -- From: "John Pfeifer" <jpfeifer@gci.net> To: <tentec@conte
I used to fix those old tabulating machines when I used to work for IBM way back in the 60's. I once had to fix one and when I removed the control panel with all its plug wires, I looked at the pins
My Orion height is 6" including feet with the bail retracted and 7" with the bail extended. Carl Moreschi N4PY Franklinton, NC -- Original Message -- From: "Bill Coleman" <n2bc@stny.rr.com> To: <orio
I don't understand why the first dit would be any different than any other dit. With full QSK, the receiver completely recovers in between each element. This should indicate that if there was any dit
The reason there is no real "PTT" in the Orion is the same as why there was not one in the Omni VI or any other tentec radio for that matter. The tentec radios do not have or need to go into a steady
The Orion is no different with respect to tuning steps than any other synthesized radio. If you tune with a 10 hertz step, you are going to jump by 10 hertz. This is normal and all synthesized radios
Comparing the Orion and K2 radios just blows me away. It is like comparing a 60 inch TV with a 5 inch TV. The 5 inch TV might receive all the same channels just as well but who cares! The Orion is on
Add a 100 ohm resistor in the headphone plug in series with the common headphone ground. This will desensitize the headphones enough to allow you to run a higher audio gain and drown out the click. C
If you use 32 ohm or higher impedance headphones, you won't hear the click. I was just suggesting a way for you to continue to use the same headphones. I don't have the click in my headphones at all.
All the TenTec and ACOM amplifiers do exactly this sequencing. You hook up TxOut from the tentec transceiver to keyin of the amplifier. Then keyout form the amp back to the transceiver TxEn jack. Thi
Semi-breakin on the Orion is easily done by using the QSK adjustment. There is also a variable delay that can set to hold amplifiers and transverters in the transmit position for up to 1 full second
The Orion "Amp Key" line will go to ground about 20 milliseconds before the Orion actually transmits a signal. It will then stay ground for up to a one second delay after transmit finishes. This dela
