hello,
I use my orion for 90% ssb,10 RTTY. I consistantly get outstanding
audio reports. my microphone is the TenTec Studio one, fed directly in to the
radio.I use the Orions onboard eq and have had great results. They currently
don't make the Studio One mic any more, it was a joint venture with Heil.
Send Bob Heil an email and I am sure he can recommend a suitable replacement
that has similar characteristics as the Studio One.
73's,
steve w1dxh

Hello,
I made my subscription to this reflector with the intention to buy an ORION
II on a short term and I try to get as much as possible inputs and comments
from TT Orion II users.
As my operation is for 99% SSB, DX, big Pile-Ups and contests I am
especially looking for comments from TT users with SSB experiences.
I got the opportunity to use a FT-2000 during several months, all in all an
unit with nice features, but the voice compressor is mediocre and the
average power output, Talk Power, is quite low compared to other rigs.
In the archives of this reflector and reviews on Eham I found also negative
comments regarding the average SSB power output of the Orion II.
I sent a mail to Ten Tec and got following answer back:
>I went and read these -- I don't think there is any merit to that. I
>would say they just need to turn up the mic gain -- there is no issue
>with average power output on SSB being any different than any other
>transceiver. Scott W4PA
This answer could not convince me actually to order the Orion.
I hope to find here users comments and advices helping me to make my buying
decision.
Looking forward for the comments with the intention to become shortly member
of the Ten Tec family.
Best 73
