I wrote the other day that the Orion I used a few months ago had no RFI problem with a standard Heil ProSet with the Heil-made Ten-Tec adapter. Well, I received my own Orion last night (yay!) and fou
Duane: I also recently received a new Orion, but I too had read about potential RF getting into the rig. I bought the hand held mike from TenTec to help insure that I would not have the problem. I th
I've been reading a lot lately on the reflector about RFI problems with the newer Ten Tec rigs. I guess the burning question in my mind is, how close to the station, are the antennas? Having always l

Close station to antenna distances will or can cause RFI problems. Under close proximity conditions the RF field outside of the radio will be much higher. Remember it is a inverse square law that app

I run 80-10 meters (like most folks) for my location of the ham shack (basement) there is no way to have a ground less than about 16 feet. So what to do? 73, Lee, KC9CDT _____________________________

If you are having RF problems there may be many causes, Close antenna, grounding, Bleeding, common mode, etc. Grounding is not the end all answer to RFI problems, ( although a good source of it ). To
Try an artificial ground. I think Ten-Tec has such an animal and I know MFJ does. 73 Rick I run 80-10 meters (like most folks) for my location of the ham shack (basement) there is no way to have a gr
Grounding is a multi faceted subject. The shach should be grounded for RF, Lightning & mains ground. Blending these into a grounding 'system' is not always a cut & dried issue. For more good informat
I used to have my basement shack at the end of a 20 foot ground cable. I was getting back into the game after being off HF for many years and I (obviously) had forgotten a lot about station building
I second Rob's recomendation about using the RadioWorks Line Isolators. In fact they now have low power versions which aren't so expensive. Someone hinted at this in an earlier post, but there's no s
In my case, the antenna in use at the time of this "problem" is one that's very close to the shack. I'm not blaming the radio - yet. I pulled the mic connection and the RFI disappeared. So, I need to
You know what the problem is? Poor design of "amazing" radio. It is unthinkable to design communications transceiver that cannot take some amount of RF field. All it takes few capacitors, a choke her
Looks like the thread I started has mutated significantly! Yuri, I'm not sure if I agree with you on this. I've had ICOMs and Kenwoods which were worse than this radio (they would block or go limp wi

One other solution.......... use a balanced feed system. If it is balanced, no RF ground needed. My shack is on the 2nd floor of a wood frame house. The antenna which does not run over the house is 7
I just have not seen an RF looping problem or any kind of RF problems on my Orion I have a first production Orion You can see my station under my call sign on QRZ.COM. I have had no RF problems in my
Yuri, my Alpha Delta DXCC (all I have room for until the new house is finished) runs directly over my operating position and the Orion at less than 20 feet up. The GAP voyager is less than 30 feet aw
There have been a few comments along the lines of "I run <really high QRO right but I would like to point out that there are many hams out there who have RF in their tx audio and don't know it. It's
