[TenTec] Heil headphones

[John T. Fleming]

Vin,

If you have had your Orion II sub-receiver in an AM mode while you
transmitted on SSB, you may have to reset your rig.  There is a bug in the
Orion I software that was reported and fixed and then re-introduced in a
later release causing the headphone audio to be very low with the above mode
combination.  I don't know if it also applies to CW and AM.  I also don't
know if the Orion II has the same bug, but it is worth a try.  I have the
Heil Pro headset and it works well as long as I don't have the sub-receiver
in the AM mode.  Good luck.

73,
John

Does  anyone have a method that matches the output of the Orion 2 to the
Heil Pro  set earphones.  I believe the O2 has a 600 ohm output and the
headset  is 8 ohms.  I tried using two of radio shack 1000ohm to 8 ohm
audio  transformers, but that didn't seem to work, unless I did  something
wrong.  I used two to try to use the stereo feature of the  O2.  I have
the rf mod in also.

I don't like unplugging the  earphones and having the audio blast into
the room when I forget to turn  down the audio gain.

Any help would be appreciated.
