[TenTec] Noise and ORION II

[n4dxi at aol.com]

John

Like electric fences, tractors, 2 stroke chain saws....seems like I'm 
surrounded by them.   Then again, I live in a very rural area.  The 
Orion 2 hardware noise blanker works most of the time during the 
daytime on 20 and 40 meters.  I also have a 300 kv powerline within 1/2 
mile of me.  That probably also radiates noise but actually not as bad 
as electric fences and spark motors.

73, John, N4DXI

John,

The "hard" noise filter is actually a hardware noise blanker as opposed 
to
the DSP noise filter. It is designed for spark type noise.

I find setting the hard noise filter makes a big difference with my
Orion 2.  You have to hold in the NR button until the filter logo
appears.  Takes a lot of noise out of 20 and 40 meters SSB.

Hello !

I find the NR of the ORION II poor. To my ear the noise of the Orion II
in SSB
is very aggressiv and the NR ist unusable while not doing much to
reduce the
noise.
I am setting AGC and RFGain. I must reduce the RF-Gain to "60", while
the bands
are too noisy. This is my subjective opinion.
