I remember some chatter about the headphone audio level on the 565 Orion 1 being low. I am having the problem. Any suggestions on how to correct it? I have the latest firmware installed. All other fu
The easiest fix is to switch to higher efficiency headphones. I didn't want to switch. There are series resistors right at the headphone jack. You have to remove the front panel. Lower the value of t
Paul, Which version of the firmware are you running? There was a problem with a few of the versions of the software that left the audio low. I am running 3.032 and the problem does not happen anymore
No argument with Barry's suggestion, although I think it would be hard to find more efficient headphones than 8 ohms. My suggestion is to try an inexpensive headphone amplifier. These cost from $20 a
Here's an excellent choice in headphones: This is the professional series. Just like a TIMEX.....will take a lickin' and keep on tickin' http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/product-MDR7506/ Driver size is 4
One thing to do is simply plug the headphones into the AUX Speaker jack on the back. Careful that you don't blow out the headphones or more importantly.......your ears! In other words, don't put the
But that jack is mono. You would lose ability to separate main/sub rx audio as well as use binaural cw reception. 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list Te
Looks like some new headphones will be showing up some day soon. http://www.technologyreview.com/view/512496/first-graphene-audio-speaker-easily-outperforms-traditional-designs/?utm_campaign=newsle
Fascinating. As a headset junkie, I thank you for the link. Of course,it will take a while for those to become affordable. -- K8JHR -- ___________________________________________________ . __________
The new Yamaha 500 headphones just showed up. I plugged them in and... No change. Exactly the same level audio as I have with the $9.00 Gee--.com headset. The Yamaha 500 headsets are already packed r

The guys who contest at my friend's shack use the CM500 headset with both an Orion II, an pair of Omni VIIs, and an Omni VI -- it is a beautiful sight seeing all that TT gear. I am fussy and use othe
Er...so, what DO the engineers at TT say about this? Have you asked them? I know loads of guys who swear by the CM500 on the Orion and Orion II and other TT rigs. If you suffer low receiver volume, I
As Jim K9YC said earlier, it is normal or typical for designers to put some value of series R between the audio output device and the HP connectors. This will prevent shorting of the device should so
Thanks guys for the advice. The Orion is going to the test bench as soon as I make some space. I really appreciate the advice from Bob, K4TAX and Jim, K9YC. Thank you. Paul K. WA0BAG -- Paul K. WA0BA
Hi Bob, Well, I "gots to know:" where did you get those? 73, Kim N5OP Now with the series resistors then add the HP impedance to ground and one has a voltage divider. The larger the series resistor v

I'm not endorsing or suggesting anything, but I purchased mine here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/150947666519 You'll pay about $5.95 as I recall. You'll pay for what you get and get what you pay for. Don
Right. ANY resistor that you add to the headphone circuit, whether in series or in parallel, will REDUCE the loudness in the headphones. This goes to show that one doesn't have to spend a hundred buc
Are some of the Heil Headsets and Microphones still using Hot Glue to hold the Elements in place? When I saw this in a rather expensive Headset, I was amazed that this could be. For the price, a coup
