The ICOM product manager also told me the $6K price range for the 7700. Single receiver. Design borrowed from the 7800. I agree with your assessment. The Orion II is significantly less $ and a signif
Michael, I have no problem driving my Alpha 99 to full output easily - same output from the Orion I as you report from your Pro II. Not sure what the ameritron unit is, but I hope you don't have a tu
In what rig? I used one in my Omni VI+ and it worked FB. Ganged it with the 500 Hz in the 2nd IF and shifted the passband on that one, and it was a potent combination on RTTY. 73, Duane Duane Calvin,
N1 and N2, if I remember correctly, are for selecting first IF (9 MHz) filters. The passband tuning works on the 2nd IF (6.3 MHz). 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com __________
Bob, I installed digiKeyer (on an Orion I) last year after Dayton, and it is still playing well. I use it with WriteLog, DX4WIN, and used WinWarbler to set it up. If you get stuck, be sure to email J
I don't know if others are noticing this too, but the audio output of the Orion's 8-pin DIN rear connector seems to be down quite a bit from the last version of the FW. On my DigiKeyer, I have to run
Neal, I must be missing something - where is the menu item for output audio level? (I must be having a "doh!" moment!) 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com Did you check the menu
Barry, You may be right - I'm not sure I loaded the last version due to some of the problems noted. I found that the input level was significantly different for PSK levels (I was set on "4" and had t
Not on my menus at all. The last line of the 'Other' menu is "Remote Pod Enc". You must be running an Orion II? 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com --Original Message-- From: te
Just FYI - the Orion will not update running through a microHam DigiKeyer that connects to the computer through a USB port. It stalls out early in the FW write process. I have to use a hard COM port
Thanks for the clarification, Grant. I wasn't complaining - both TT and microHam recommend against using these interfaces (not the USB/COM port adapters) to do updates. I suspect it has to do with ot
Thanks, Cedric. Next time I'll try it again. I had all other applications shut down, so I'm not sure why it didn't work.. I have an Orion I, not a II, so that may have something to do with it. 73, Du
Dale, You should borrow a CI-V manual from someone. I don't know if ICOM has it online or not. I have one here if you can't find one - I could mail it to you for your use. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5
George, Have you written to your log software writer? 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com I have been complaining of the completely absurd settings when clicking on a packet spo
Carl, This is also done well in other rigs, and I (along with others, probably) have requested the "Quick QSX" function in the Orion. It would be easy - long press of the A>B button could copy A->B,
Interesting - I use the bandstacking registers all the time on my Orion I with the latest firmware. I have them set on all bands to CW, PSK, FSK, and SSB freq and mode, and they are 100% repeatable.
My approach to that is perhaps a little cumbersome, but I believe it's the same with all rigs that have bandstacking registers - I cycle the band button until I'm on the one that has the mode I'm goi
Both are good points, Bill. Apparently they have the "left hand / right hand" problem. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com --Original Message-- From: tentec-bounces@contesting.c
The Centurion uses a pair of 3-500Z's or ZG's. and one of my original pair got a grid-cathode short after about 2 yrs of use. 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com If this is the
Check the B+ wire going to the amplifier module. There is a history of this "rivet" and wire connection opening up and needing to be resoldered. Happened to my VI+ after 5-6 years of use. 73, Duane D
