[TenTec] : SUB-RX: TEN TEC - ORION

[Ascani Adriano]

 HI ALL
My name is Adriano, im from Italy. If can i would ask you something about TENTEC ORION 565 AT. I received it first days of august/2004. i try to explain you wath i have noted not good using it. 

In 40 meters- (and not only 40 m)- with Sub RX is impossible to listen weak  CW signals: the signal that i listen good  in MAIN RX- totally desappear when i switch to Sub RX.: both tuned on the same fequency with same settings. In Europe we have broadcasts in  7.100 -7.300 Kcs: i tune both the RX on the same freq - (AM MODE): the analogic S-Meter of Main RX give me a signal   9 + 40 the same antenna, the same settings, the same frequency .... the S-Meter of SUB RX  show only  2 o 3 lines  signal (hope someone understands) and switching the AF encoders (main-sub) alternately , the reception of the Sub-RX is low and ground noise is higher. I think here is something does'nt work right in the SUB-RX-, when you assign alternately the same antenna to main and to sub seems to work with 2 antennas and that of the Sub RX is less efficient. I repeat, the 2 receivers have same settings. no troubles with Main RX.

In other bands ( i have the JUPITER too)  that has the same SSB sensitivity like Sub-rx of Orion:i see (same antenna) tuning a broadcast station : JUPITER . 9+40 ----------> SUB RX  3 line filled of signal strenght. IS NORMAL THAT?

My old  KENWOOD TS 430S  give me a strongher reception on same frequencies with same antenna.- If someone have understood my problem give me some advice. Next days shall do other tests then shall contact TEN TEC service.
Hope in an answer, for now many thanks.
