[TenTec] Orion--Centering the 500 and 250 Hz Filters

[Ken & Linda Burrough]

Hi Again

Today I found a easy way to get an S-7 carrier to use for centering the 500 and 250 Hz Roofing filters.  I used my T-Kit 1340 into the dummy load.  I then put the Orion on the GAP Titan Vertical which is 127 feet from the Radio Room.  Make sure your CW Off Set is at the proper frequency, mine is set at 600 Hz.  Using the Menu, turn on the appropriate filter on then use the Multi Control to peak the signal.  My filters are set at -80 Hz for the 500 Hz filter and -10 Hz for the 250 Hz filter.

This worked for me, I read this How Too in Scott's OPTIMAL USES OF THE ORION 565 RECEIVER  on the Ten-Tec WebPages.  I only added my T-Kit 1340 and dummy load.

Day Two with the Orion.
