[TenTec] O2 keyer

[Gary Tuck]

Have not had an issue with the Orion keyer at all.  Last spring, when  
my Orion was at TT for a minor repair and board upgrade, I fell back  
upon my trusty TS-850s--also with a built in keyer.  Both use Mode B  
but I found myself having the same problem--an unwanted extra dit or  
dah.  It was as if the timing was just a hair different.  Knowing I'd  
switch back and forth between the rigs, I did get an external keyer-- 
Idiom Press K-3--so that the fist would get used to just one keyer.   
And of course, you get a lot more features.  So, I suppose it could  
be the firmware in the O2--which will get corrected--or it could be  
just enough different from what you've become used to--like me--that  
you have problems.

Not a reason not to get an Orion though in my opinion,  Gary W7TEA
