Bob and Bob, I think the air versus ground makes a difference too. Ten Tec is exactly two days by ground from me, and I STILL get boxes banged up terribly from UPS ground. I think the air crews just

Jim, I'll check on the RTTY fix tomorrow if you haven't gotten a response by then. I hope that HAS been addressed. The screen is MUCH crisper, the sweep MUCH faster, and still trying out things to se

Roy, It's in the link that was sent to you, but in a nutshell, the new software will tell you on the screen if you need the mod to the logic board, and there is a nice manual on the update site telli

Bob, I was on 160m SSB last night, both with the old software, then after I updated, so kinda saw both versions at the "same time", and it is DEFINITELY better to my old ears. Also, that sweep is som

Oops, sorry I shot that blank a few minutes ago. Hit send too quickly!! I am noting the same problem with my Orion and the V2 upgrade. I was happily using LSB, 550 hz bandwidth and +1950 PBT with ver

John, VOX shouldn't work with the aux in audio input. You would have to run the RTTY audio into the mic jack, or hook up the PTT line in the aux input for AFSK to work. 73, Don, WB5HAK ______________

Well, I stand corrected!! I didn't realize that VOX would work on the AUX input! Nice feature. Sorry, I just guess I hadn't read far enough. Ray, how do you set the level of audio out on the AUX port

Thanks, Ray, I was trying the line input. I still think I'll hook up my old Hal ST-6000 tomorrow and see if I can make it work. That'll tell me what I need to know. It ALWAYS works, hi. If there isn'

Buck, Can you tell me why you (and another gentleman the other day, for that matter) recommend putting the 600 cycle filter in place of the 1k filter?? I put mine in place of the optional 500 cycle o

Gary, Probably a dumb question, but if you put the 1k filter in the 1.8 slot and the 762 in the 1k slot, do you still have to "enable" them in the menu? Tks, Don, WB5HAK _____________________________

Larry, I can think of a few cases where one might use an autotuner, even though I don't use one, hi. If using low power (100w or less) like PSK31, etc, it might be nice to bypass the "real tuner" and

I sure hope your experience with UPS rubs off on me, Paul. My O2 is due sometime today, and although I was asked if DHL would be okay, it is on the "brown truck", hi. Hope it survives. 73, Don, WB5HA

Thanks for the assurances, Larry, but my Orion box always came in looking like John described ("dragged behind the truck")!! I too wish Ten Tec would at least consider an outside box OVER the origina

I heard you say that about DHL, Bob, so I was happy when they asked, and agreed to it quickly. I guess Stan forgot to write DHL on the order, hi. Oh well, we will know in a few hours. I am the LAST s
