Hi Everyone, Thanks to all of you who responded to my posting both on and off the reflector. Keep those review and comments coming! BTW I guess Ten Tec was reading my (our) posts of late. They just p
The great thing about the II is that the number of REAL issues, compared to the kinds of thins that bugged us when the original Orion was shipped, are neglibible. Gary and company have done a great

Correct, Not sure why ancient mode is still used. I realize guys built surplus stuff that could only use AM. Give me a break, why would any rig today even have it? Double the bandwidth and a fourth o
I don't do much AM, but when the sunspots were here I would get on 10M AM at 29-29.1Mhz. There's plenty of spectrum up there. Sometimes on topband also at 1905, where there's also plenty of room. I j

2.028 did not intentionally remove AM. Something likely went awry in the transmit gain change that was made in 2.026, and regression testing missed the fault. As to your views on AM in general, you'
Grant, I look at it as some people insist on still running DOS programs while most people use some type of GUI interface. In time, both spark, AM, and DOS will disappear. 73, John 2.028 did not inten

One uses the term "both" when referring to two items, not three or more items. You can correct the grammatical error by removing "AM" from that last sentence :-) Grant/NQ5T _________________________
I would be really interested to know what TT's regression (and beta) testing involves. Odd that one of the primary (?) operating modes stops working and they don't notice. Maybe it's my imagination,
I thought it was for spark and AM! DOS is hidden behind the GUI. :-) One uses the term "both" when referring to two items, not three or more items. You can correct the grammatical error by removing "
Hey Guys, Since I started this thread, can I ask that we refocus again onto the pluses and minuses of the Orion II? What else besides AM has 2.028 corrupted? Anything? Any insight as to what the new
Yes. If you were around here when the original Orion was released, you probably notice how "quiet" the list is about bugs in the II. For a time, it seemed there were firmware updates coming out hour
Indeed the Mon function works fine on the O2, although as some have pointed out, it's not very loud. Perhaps with higher impedance headphones it might sound louder. I have been using the external spe

What about CW? 73 Bob, K4TAX _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
Some things are just forever :-) I think it will continue to be fostered in a contest context at a minimum, even after the requirement is eliminated. At least for a time. The numbers of active CW op

Dave, Near as I can tell the only thing broke is the AM transmitter and the AM monitor. All other functins seem to work FB here in the applications I use. CW, Digi modes, SSB, Shortwave listening, al
