just received my orion back from tentec service flashed up to 2.055 firmware. one of my issues for sending it in was distorted audio in the left headphone channel with both the 1.x and 2.x firmware t
You are correct. The new version has regressed back to the occasional scratchy distorted audio that was present in early versions of the software. I found that turning the volume control up and down
I have been a little irritated by the audio performance of the Orion using the TenTec external long-throw speaker. As far as I know this is not firmware related. It MAY be due to the power handling c
I use good external speakers on all my rigs. I have a lot of hearing loss form stuff overs the years so I find that 7 or 11 inch metal cased rca or realistic speakers or even those old stereo speaker

Hi, Tony It's been there since the beginning. I'm still using 1.372. I'm probably used to the 6V6 outputs of yesteryear. Bob W2WG Does this happen with your favorite 1.xxx version firmware or just 20
The audio output chip in the Orion is the TDA1013B by Phillips, which is adequate for the job although not THX Hi-Fi by any means! You can see all the specs and performance data at: http://www.semico
All this talk about audio "chips" and tiny little speakers, makes me long for the days when real radios had push-pull 6V6's and "phono" positions on the mode switch :-) Failing that the Sounds Sweet
Very interesting comment on the audio distortion. My Orion hates some external speakers more than others....right now I'm using a speaker from a 1960's vintage table radio, but I think the audio stil
I looked up that Sweet Sounds speaker on the Internet, and it looks like a pretty good accessory. Pretty good efficiency, optimized response shaping to eliminate high-end hiss and extraneous junk as

not firmware in my case as it turns out -- tried both 1.3x and 2.x with the same result. talked to paul at tentec this morning... he mentioned that using regular stereo phones -- like a pair of bose
Having the same type jack for the key and the phones, and an audio circuit which will self destruct if you plug in mono phones seems like a significant oversight too. I assume, but don't know, that t
