[Orion] [TenTec] Orion 2 - Anyone else notice this?

[BobK8IA at aol.com]

Thanks to all who responded. It appears to be a propagated signal  and 
nothing to do with the Orion II or anything rfi related. Peaks here towards  Eu as 
well and disappeared when MUF dropped after sunset. I just "tested" every  day 
the same time, which gave me the faulty impression that it was O2  related.
 
Tnx again. Sorry to have wasted the bandwidth.

Yes,  Bob same here in North Central PA with my O2.   

Very weird. The signals peak with my 3 el quad  pointed Northeast  (Europe)
and the good news is they disappear when the antenna is  disconnected.  I can
hear them very clearly when using my IC 706  mobile radio as well.

Reason for sending this direct is I have no idea  what's causing the
phenomena but suspect it's not the O2 firmware.   

It'll be interesting to see the responses to your note.

>From about 18086 thru 18094 khz I am  hearing some popping  "digital
artifect" 
signals, or so it seems.  They are random, not associated with  any signals
on the band nor  settings of NB and NR. Typical s-meter levels S2 or  so.
They are  there no matter what version I have loaded. I have 2.033 preentl on
my  O2.

Certainly not showstopping but annoying nonetheless.

Anyone  comment?
