- I used my Orions SO2R in the WW RTTY this weekend, so I decided to share how they performed. Firstly, both radios were on for the full 48 hours of the event and for a couple of hours before. I operat

- Bob, When the mode changes on the Orion, the filter command must be resent from the serial port. This was explained to me by Gary Barbour. If this is not done, a default filter for that mode is selec

- My method for determining the 60 db drop was to use the Orion S meter. I used an old crystal calibrator as a constant source signal. And yes, I did have the roofing filter set to 20 khz. Carl Moresch

- Thanks Carl! Although Orion's S-meter is more linear than most, it could be that you were in a non-linear area and the actual attenuation was not quite 60 dB. Here are measurements made by W8ZR in Ja
