Eric I don't use the sweep display but I have checked the phenomena you describe below and can confirm this occurs with my Orions too. I suggest you send a report to ditsnbits about it so it can be i
Eric, This is an old problem (sweep freezing in sub-receive) with the Orion, and Ten Tec is aware of it. However, it still would be good to email to ditsnbits about the problem. I am not sure how hig
Orion's AGC works pretty well and your experience is probably caused by specific AGC settings at the time. For high QRN conditions you may consider reducing AGC hold time to 0, and increasing AGC De
Eric, I just read your review on Eham and feel that after owning the Orion for just two days, you really don't know what is going on yet with the rig. You state that you have discovered many bugs, so
It does seem that one ought to give a strange and foreign object more than two days, at least look for some input and guidance, attempt to actually learn something about the radio from those who've
Hello All and Eric, I've owned my Orion since May of this year and believe it to the finest rig on the market today......bar none. I too, wrote an Orion review on Eham.......but I waited 3 months bef
Hey folks, let's have a little respect. Eric may have had his Orion for only a couple of days, but he is reporting some glitches of the kind that many of us "old hands" (like me at 6 months) have obs
This reply is disgusting. I had the Orion for 3 weeks and had nothing but trouble and so have dozens of other people. Eric's review was right on target. The Orion deserves plenty of negative comments
Hello Grant and all the others of course ! Many thanks for your messages, unfortunately I can't reply to all of them but be sure that I will keep all that has been said in a folder ! A real paper fol
BDR and I couldn't find enough QRM to even verify that measurement. I had lockups, hang-ups, dropouts, poor performance in QRN and even total front end overload from BC stations. That's very interest
Bill I use a horizontal loop antenna and it brings out the worst in a receiver. If the receiver is the least bit susceptible to front end overload, it will show up. For example, my Triton IV on 80 me
Steve: I am sorry that you have had problems with your Orion. I have had mine for a little over 5 months and only once did I have to do a reset. I haven't had the problems that you are describing. Ma
Yep, it's the same ole stuff here. Have had my Orion for a year now with the latest firmware update installed. Except for one item and operating in the manner that the radio is supposed to be (???),
Thanks Bernard but after 3 weeks of testing the Orion, I sent it back for a refund. BTW: It took me several phone calls and emails to get my refund. I did not find the Orion a bit complicated and hav
Hi all, I have not read Steve's reveiw on eBay. Many have said he should not write a reveiw having used the radio for only two days. Since you know he wrote the reveiw after only owning it for two da
Hey Ken thanks but I didn't do any review. It was Eric ON6CV. He sold his equipment and paid $5,000USD for the Orion. It gave him trouble. He wrote "negative review" on Eham (For which there is no la

I didn't see anything about AM broadcast band stations though Bill. We have one here on 840khz, WHAS, 50kw about 10 to 15 miles away. You wouldn't believe how strong they are here. I have a small fie
