Dear, We have been discussing the ORION III within our contest team and clubstation (2x 565+1x 566) for some time now. We would like to express our vision, but divided it in separate main areas so ot
Re: User Interface What I would like to see added to the Orion III are 4 additional indicator LEDs - one green for receive and one red for transmit for both VFO A and VFO B. Of course both VFOs could
What if both receivers are tied to vfoA (or vfoB)? That's why the Orion switch/LED matrix is so elegant as implemented. And it's the only radio that has ever featured such a beautiful scheme. 73, Bar
Barry, of course you have a good point, as usual. I was just thinking about an unmistakable visual indication of "transmit VFO" above the VFOs tuning knobs. 73, Marsh, KA5M What if both receivers are
I must admit that the LED matrix used on the O2 is very elegant. I know of no other radio that displays the VFO status quite like that. Most of the time, the status is annuciated somewhere in the dis
Kim -- Yes... I found it confusing at first, but once I caught on, it seems indispensable. John Henry -- My take on spectrum scopes is... too little is not enough. Yaesu put a small spectrum scope in
I don't really want that busying up my station computer...would rather have a VGA port on the radio to connect a standard off the shelf computer monitor to...that way I could also determine the size
It's genius..i hope it's carried over to the next top line radio... Cecil K5DL Sent from my iPad _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists
Great list... I would like to add one thing that does not seemed to be mentioned in the UI discussions... Please mark the molded in control designations with a contrasting color so they are visible..
OK by me. But ... if it is connected to the computer, you could easily write software to allow you to interactively tune the rig with a mouse or keyboard action, and I suspect it would be more diffic
I guess I would have to see what possibilities it would offer. My limit of computer control has been through my logging program...DXLab. I'm not much on computer controlled radio. I'm a hands on op.
THIS sub-thread (pan adaptor / scope / etc.) within the O3 features thread is probably the area where the opinions differ the most. James wants a computer so he can do more stuff. Cecil does not. I'm
Yeah... me too... that is a very important point, Cecil. That is why I use my Omni VII with N4PY software in "Radio State." I like front controls, which is why I don't use a totally computer based so
Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you just see a blip on the band scope? You have no idea what you're clicking on. You click, and my be jumping to a good signal or to garbage. I prefer using the band
The bandmap needs to overlay the blips on the band scope, then you have the best of both worlds and know at a glance that it's a "new" blip. 73, Barry N1EU ___________________________________________
Today Ten-Tec has lost its edge. The ORION ll was ahead of its time and now other manufactures have caught. The latest so called mid range products from YAESU and Kenwood (I have them) have caught
I don't understand the conclusion that Ten-Tec should concentrate on mid range products. None of the radios on the market today will outperform the Orion II. Ten-Tec's legacy of Corsair/Omni6/Orion i
Barry, I didn't understand that. How do you get the bandmap to overlay a blip on the scope? The bandmap is a window in my logging screen. Perhaps I have missed something. Please explain. What is the
The bandmap NEEDS to overlay and align to the panadapter so at a glance you can correlate panadapter blips with spotted callsigns, or lack of spotted callsigns. It hasn't been implemented by the soft
Yes... I you seem to misunderstand the setup. If I understand your terminology, a band map, skimmer, or spotting site can tell you what other guys are seeing, and doing. But, it does not tell you wha
