If the Orion uses balanced input, then why do they label pins 1 and 2 as Mic (1) and gnd (2)? And the PTT switch uses PTT (3) and gnd (2). It appears to be an unbalanced input, and handling of the "g
Thanks, Warren - that's useful information. One question - you attached the shield of your adapter to the connector shell, and that leaves you 2 wires for the microphone. Did you not include the foot
For those of you with one of these rigs, have you ever had it lock up or seem to go into oscillation? The one I recently purchased at swapmeet worked fine for 4-5 hours, then, when I hit the V/M butt

Orion how to GUI's that look ... snip ... That's interesting. Why would I want a GUI that looks just like the Orion? I can get that on the Orion only better since I wouldn't have to mouse around it..
Sorry for the off-topic post, but I'm hoping someone here has experience they can help me with. I've listed my 2m all-mode ICOM on ebay, and I'm getting a lot of interest from overseas - guys from bo

I was disheartened last week to find a "buzzing" noise in my otherwise perfect Orion starting in the 10m SSB frequencies and continuing all the way up the band. Both RX's, happens with antennas conne
Thanks Mike. Actually, the tuner connection is not the problem. If I pull the cable to the tuner from the "Y", the buzz continues. It's being induced (or augmented) by just having the "Y" cable in th
I was just reading the review with all its superlatives, and I noticed - horror, shock - there is no microphone included with this ten kilobuck radio! Shame on them! (tee-hee - sorry, just had to do
On that same tack, I made sure I commented on the performance of the venerable Omni VI+ in the "review" of the Orion that I posted on Eham the other day. It still holds up well against all the latest

Looks like Stan got snagged by the same "reply" policy that bites us all from time to time, including the original poster who requested one of the items off the used/demo list! 73, Duane Duane Calvin
I don't think the Jupiter has internal thermal issues as it appears the 746 does. Check out the eHam reviews here: http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/1951 And in the remote chance that there is a pro
I appreciate the design point of having two receivers, not two VFO's, and the potential flexibility that this provides us as users. This does bring up the difficulty of how to manage the added comple
Hmm, this is odd. I'm still waiting for someone to explain why this simple quick QSX function is somehow counter to the Orion's new design point? One is a design point, the other is a usability featu
Well, I wouldn't call it "user vicious!" Actually, I forwarded this idea to Scott a while back and he seemed receptive to it. As Pete mentioned, if the menu setting is set for tracking, then A>B and
