[TenTec] New Orion 2 Frequency Response Chart

[Ron Castro]

I couldn't wait for the weekend to test the AM TX frequency response on the Orion II 2.038k firmware, and what I heard subjectively proved out in the measurements.  The response is +0 -3 dB from 50 to 4,000 Hz, ruler flat from 100 to 3600!  The chart is on my website at www.N6IE.com.

You will probably sound better on AM if you run the TX EQ at -3 to -6 to correct for the typical IF response in most receivers, especially the pre-DSP/boat-anchor types.  AM broadcasters all do something similar for the same reason.
