So, please help me understand..... Other than fixing the sweep "picture", what did this upgrade provide over 39d? I personally had no issues with 39d, and felt the NR was excellent. My only "real" re
Hi Folks.... No, my relay noise is NOT loud......at all. But, I'm spoiled. My first original Orion was perfectly quiet in QSK mode. I could place my ear on the top cover and nothing, nada. I have had
I'm interested in opinions/experiences with the fan noise and QSK relay noise from this amp. Input on other characteristics also welcome. I'm currently running an Alpha 91B and am considering the pur

I am trying to help a local friend get one of these going, and think we have made good progress. Can someone tell me if they see ANY screen current with no drive applied to the amp? The HV looks good
Hi Jim..... They're hardwired, so I should probably go with the LED's, since they have a longer life. TT only gives their part number and I have not yet pulled the meters. 73 John -- Original Message
Many thanks Dave! Makes me feel better ;-). I ordered the LED "kits" for the meters from TT.....they build them for ten bucks per meter. I'll tear into it some rainy day. 73 John W4II -- Original Mes
Jerry...they are hard-wired, but inside of the meter case itself. TT will sell you a LED package for 10 bucks that is a direct wiring replacement for the original incandescent lamp. But....you still
Hello Folks..... What is a fair market price (both ends), for a near mint 417A? This amp is a SOLID 9.75 cosmetically, and 100% operationally. It has the TT supplied LED replacements for the incandes
Hi Bill... Not sure exactly what I'm going to do ....yet. The Titan III is a fine amp. It is HUGE, about 3 inches all round larger than the 91B. It also runs hotter. But, the QSK feature is much nice
John......... My O II and Titan III work great. I can use either the loop keying or amp/PTT keying. As was mentioned earlier, make certain the two cables from Orrin II key in and out are correct to t

John....just checking the obvious. On the back of the O II, the TX en and out are in the vertical plane. IE, one above the other. Make sure you have the both cables under the same keying loop (either
Let's do this one more time....... TX EN on the Orion II should go to KEY IN on the Titan III TX OUT (right below TX EN) on the Orion II should go to KEY OUT on the Titan III Keying Loop 1 in the men
SORRY john....I'm losing it. TX OUT on O II goes to KEY IN on Titan III TX EN on O II goes to KEY OUT on the Titan III There..........I've done that so many times I'm punchy! 73 John -- Original Mess
A friend, David King, KF4ZRI, has this amp for sale. He describes it as a beautiful amp, from a non-smoking environment. It was built in April 2007, and is the 417A model. He is asking 2750 USD. Plea
Duane.... Same experience here. Driving my Alpha 91B with the O II with no issues at all. I can light all LED's if I wish. On SSB, no problem driving to legal limit with 45w. 73 John W4II -- Original
