No,
I have heard you need to reduce the gain but when you put both rigs side by
side with no antenna the Orion has much moee internal noise. I think it is
just a fact of life.
Any suggestions?

I have the same issue. Much more noise than my FT1000D.

Turning down the rf gain was the first thing I tried. Down to 50-60%..still
a LOT more noise than should be and much more than the MK 5. I still suspect
it is some setting but I have not had the time to mess with it. Probably
won't for several days so after my next bout with it, if I find it I will
report. To those who requested the updates, I will get to those also. 73,

Yes, but how does one protect from puncture through two boxes, the outside
one & inside one, puncture through two layers of 2" thick rigid foam and
thus leaving dents 1/4" deep and scratches on the equipment?
No drop involved.

I have been hearing the net about 2:00 PM Central time
on or about 7.251. Much QRM from broadcasters. I
just got my O2 so I will be interested in seeing how
all the filtering will handle the carriers.

The puncture wounds are new to me! Probably fork lift damage maybe??? I
have even double boxed and used some indoor -outdoor carpet along with
everything else however it adds weight to the shipping cost. I think that
DHL drivers have a vested interest in making things arrive in good shape-so
I hear. I shipped out a dozen or so items since last summer via DHL and it
worked for me. They were fast and cheaper than most. I even sent a large
cubical quad out west and it arrived in good shape. The package was 13 ft
long x 1 ft diam and about 50 lbs! 73 Lew/KlNDV

Before you throw it in the ocean, try
turning RF Gain down until the noise drops.
This is exactly the point I was making before
about users not setting RF Gain correctly and
complaining "My Orion is noisy". :-)

I am still looking for accessories for my 540 (triton IV). I am primarily
looking for the digital readout and the 160 meter converter, but would
consider complete stations, or even a 544. Must be in good condition
electrically and cosmetically.
Thanks- Danny

I checked in once. Good news, bad news. Good: the Orion can pull
weak ham sigs out from between the broadcasters. Bad: It's still
hard to get through on 100W -- no fun on the East Coast! Why can't
there be a better time / freq? Mornings on 40 or evenings on 80 seem
like a better deal.
