Hi allmy trusty Orion that came back from TT for processor board replacement a few months ago seems to have no receive signalsthis happened this am when booting up the rig. I use ant 1 as main rx/tx
Need both SUB RX VFO and Ant1 SUB RX depressed. That's how I use this sub rcvr hr. Hope it's just that. GD Tim, AB4B _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contest
I have had this problem since day one and two trips to TT resulted in only a temporary fix. The problem always returned. As of the writing of this mail, the sub rcvr has been inop for a couple of yea
a little followup.. sub rx was inoperable this ambooted up with sub rx on ant 1 and vfo b enabled yesterday. after letting the rig on for about 3 hours, I rebooted the rig with sub rx off on the ant
wellshoot.. that lasted all of 1/2 hour! The past week or so, I has been inoperative on boot up and it boots up with swishing noise that repeats itself or it seems to work but cant her anything but b
Denton, I think you have cable connections that need cleaning. There's a lot of connections behind the Orion front panel. It's easy to remove that panel. Remove it and disconnect all the ribbon cable
I chimed in on this one a few weeks ago. Same problem since day one. I bought my used Orion 1 from Ten Tec but the Sub receiver never worked. A couple of trips to the factory, returned to me & it wor

I have a sub receiver available. Gary _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
Years ago, I recall seeing a detailed block diagram of the Orion 1 - I am not referring to the one in the manual. There is a simple circuit called the "audio switch" which I suspect is the culprit. H
Ha, "simple" isn't the first word that comes to my mind when looking at the Orion audio circuit schematics. "Convoluted" would be my choice. There are four audio inputs (main rx, sub rx, mic, aux in)
Sorry, audio inputs to CODEX are analog, not digital (duh). Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/li

I agree with anyone who says that Orion circuitry is sort of convoluted. It is. The boards were meant to either last forever (in electronic terms) or to be replaced, which is why it is generally so e
I would still bet the problem is NOT a component failure but just a bad connection on the cables. The rigs are computers now and cable connections when not gold plated are unreliable with age. Carl M

Dont overlook the mother board as well. A lot of Orions got repaired at Ten Tec by replacing that rather inert board for the same reason, marginal connectors and some soldering issues. Gary _________

By the way, I do have a known good motherboard. Gary _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
Carl, he reported an intermittent antenna connection to subrx. I would think all those connections are done via coax TMP cables and any switching via relays. That wouldn't be as susceptible to the us
You can get any symptom at all with those cables. The key is "Intermittent". They can mess up the microprocessor's decision making thus making almost anything possible. Carl Moreschi N4PY 58 Hogwood
Barry, The circuit you describe is the one I recall - but that was a couple of years ago. And since then I have been diagnosed with mild memory loss. Mike W8TRN -- Original Message -- From: "Barry N1
