[TenTec] Contest Data and Conclusions

[Tommy]

I don't know if the problem is just with CW, but since you have no 
problems with the keying loop, it certainly would seem like a CW 
only problem. I have only tried SSB with the Orion and Titan one 
time for a short QSO.

This is very interesting as you are the first person in 18 months 
that has actually said they are running an Orion and a Titan 3, 
other than myself. Are you using Keying Loop #1 with your Titan? Did 
you have to do anything other than properly connect the TxEN and 
TxOUT cables? What version of firmware are you running?  My 
combination DOES work OK using v1.369, but none of the other 
firmware versions.

Any additional info would be greatly appreciated John.
