[TenTec] Orion Receiver Distortion

[Ron Castro]

What kind of headphones are you using?  Orions are a bit fussy about 
impedances being too high or too low.  32 Ohms is apparently the best match. 
As already pointed out, check all the menu settings under the "Audio" 
button.

The other thought that comes to mind is that the AGC Hang (Menu/RX) time 
should be set to something other than 00.00.  For most CW/SSB work, settings 
above 00.12 should work.  Last week we had a discussion here about AM, which 
requires hang to be set to at least 03.00.
