[TenTec] FW: Orion II - Initial Reactions and Impressions

[Roland Guidry]

Did some further testing with the L.F Rollover as in my previous post. Seems
the frequency shifts only when holding the PTT down while adjusting the L.F.
Rollover. When the PTT is released, the frequency centers properly. So all
is good with that.

Well I am sorry I started so much discussion on the S Meter. I have moved
on...
 
I am now noticing a few things that someone may help me with:
 
Has anyone noticed that when adjusting the L. F. Rolloff with the SSB Tx
Filter BW set for 3150 Hz that the transmit frequency changes? I had someone
who knows my voice pattern assist me last night and when I changed the L.F.
Rolloff, he had to use his RIT to follow me. Is this suppose to happen? A
different BW does not matter!
 
Orion II has a menu option to allow tracking of VFO A's PBT and BW to VFO B.
That works fine. Does anyone know how to track the mode from VFO A to VFO B.
Seems when working split or in contest, I would want VFO B to be in the same
mode as VFO A. It would be very easy to leave VFO B in a different mode by
mistake.
 
I have had no flicker or problems with any of the colors. I have use Color
#3 all day with no problem.
 
That's all for now!
