Ever since I've had my Orion and now the Orion2 I have had RF in the mic distorting my SSB signal on 20 meters. It only happens when I run high power and only on 20 meters. I presently run a O2, TT 7
George, This is a great lesson and thanks. I've found on some bands more than others the proximity of the antenna to the shack was a factor relative to this kind of problem, i.e if the beam is over t
That is all valuable information. I want to add that my Orion II had a problem with RF, but it was coming in via the headphone wire and the CW paddles connected to the back. Ferrites solved the probl
Ron.. also good information on the ferrites.... should have mentioned them, hi. I use them all over.. Thanks for the reminder.... 73, Lynn W4NL _______________________________________________ TenTec
I had a similar problem with my Bose headphones (bought new when the Orion 2 came). Very bad distortion, while transmitting, in the headphones on all bands above 10m. No problems when listening on th

Good solution to the problem and certainly and easy fix. However, I would have concerns that the station being operated as described would not thusly comply with Section 97.13(c) and the maximum perm
I'm fairly knowlegeable in that area, since I routinely prepare and file FCC applications for high-power FM broadcast stations, up to 50 kW ERP. The low-duty cycle of typical Amateur SSB and CW opera
As for the response to my RF in the mic, (shack?) dilemma it was suggested that the RF is of a high value in the shack. The tower is 150 feet from the shack in the back yard and is 50 feet up? I woul
This can still cause high RF in the shack if there is much SWR, radiation from a tuner or linear, signal induced on the feedline, radiation from long or resonant ground lines or re-radiation from nea
Ron; Thanks for the RF on mic input. I have found out that my headphones are a little on the ragged side, audio wise, when the beam is pointed directly over the house. I would have thought 150 feet a

George, If your problem isn't solved, my "simple mind" may see a simpler solution. I would wire a stereo plug on the mono phones as it shows in the manual and eliminate the extra box and cord. My RF
