Question: Are you exhausting air from the cabinet, or pressurizing the cabinet? And what is expected to be the intake or exhaust ports? 73 Bob, K4TAX I do not recommend this mod as there is no engine

I'm really not 'pressurizing' anything, mearly generating a slight air flow out of the top of the Orion through the speaker grill. The intake ports would be mainly the ports on the bottom of the radi

Yes, that seems to be a surprising 'plus' to the extra cooling air movement. Would be interesting to know if Jim/KH7M has noticed the same thing with his Orion. Tom - W4BQF My ones no _______________

Press "MENUS" then "FILTER", and then you will see the top line is labeled "Xtal Filter"... Turn the Multi Knob to select which filter you want to use... 20 is the widest and is supposed to be the on

Gentlemen, It is my understanding that the widest filter in the ORION is 15 kHz, NOT 20 kHz. I know that some of the print stated 20 kHz, but it is wrong. I'll take any and all bets on this one! When

Welp it is 'labeled" 20 kHz in the filter menu... It may well be a 15 kHz but I will still call it a 20 as long as it is labeled 20..... This still is not a good reason for the receiver to be receivi
