- My 565AT is developing an unpleasant operating mode, where the main Rx output stops. This is on 40 CW, for example, but probably on other modes/bands also. If I fiddle with the VFO, I can bring it al

- Hello Martin: I believe you have self-diagnosed the problem. I had to have TT realign the synthesizer on one of my Orions. It exhibited very similar behavior. You may want to call TT and talk with To

- Right, but is there a do it yourself prescription, short of digging in with the probes and actually trying to *understand* things? (Awful thought!) I could/will ask TT, but I wonder if anyone has don

- Call Paul at TenTec. He has never steered anyone wrong as far as I know. He is more Than willing to point you in the right direction. One of the procedures he told me to try on my OMNI VI+ was "not r

- Often an intermittent can be forced by applying alternate heating and cooling. A hair dryer or hot air gun supplies heat and a spray can product like Freeze-Mist or even the dry air lens cleaners pro

- On Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 12:16 PM, Dr. Gerald N. Johnson <geraldj@weather.net Thanks, Jerry, all good suggestions. There can't be that many PLL's in the synthesizer chain, so finding the circuit proba

- Hi Martin, In any case, I wouldn't send the Orion back to Ten Tec if you couldn't tell them how to trigger the problem. I had a problem with my Omni VII that was intermittent, and I had a way that I

- That's true, but by applying the heat and cold technique you can isolate the most temperature sensitive capacitor or coil and that's most likely in a VCO that needs a change in alignment. Turning the

- There are a couple of plug in connectors that almost everything in the Orion comes through behind the Orion front panel. I have fixed a couple of Orion problems by simply removing the front panel and
