I took a pair of pliers and carefully bent each louver so that it was horizontal thinking that it might reduce some of the air turbulence and noise. That did reduce the howl but it is still very nois
Alan, thank you for finding and sharing this. Have an original Orion here. Don't remember noticing the transient issue under v1.37x but sure have under v2. With one Orion, tis hard to test the reacti
I've owned a TS-820, 830, 940 and 850. They were reliable radios but so is the Omni VI + from my experience. To join the chorus, definitely get the InRad 600hz roofing filter. The front end will be a
But if you were to ever have problems, help is a phone call away. Had an issue on a first production run Plus (March 97) I bought used this winter and talked to a Ten Tec tech. He diagnosed the probl
Andy, you pull Plug 52 and put it out of harms way. It is found on the logic board near the battery. You may want to check the List archives for more complete discussion. This eliminated the click on
Another "solution" if you wear headphones is to try a set of noise canceling ones. I've not tried the Heil cans, but have used the Noisebuster FX and Solitude as well as a Sennheiser HD 280 passive s
...and assume when something doesn't seem to work, that it is due to operator error. It is 99% of the time. Just run thru the checklist-- Antennas properly chosen? VFO's properly assigned? Audio assi
Earlier this spring, I installed v1.371 again and confirmed the near magical improvement NR brought. As the other noise reduction toolkit items were in the AGC loop, NR was delicious frosting on the
Brand new (one day) to this mode--or in fact any digital mode but CW. Using PSK31 Deluxe and a SignaLink SL-1+. Am receiving signals fine it seems. Have sound card output (HP laptop) at about 70%. Au
What audio frequency were you using? I normally (Orion, 1.372) set TX EQ to zero, SSB Tx filter to 3000, and SSB LF Rolloff to 50 Hz. You're only transmitting on a narrow audio band, but I would say
Thank you guys. Think I'm beginning to get the hang of this. Experimented this morning with the TX EQ adjustment and tend to get the most consistent power output at various points across the 3000hz w
I installed the upgrade chip in my internal LDG tuner. Somehow I was expecting the tuner to act more like the one in my TS-850S/ATU automatically tuning to a memorized setting when bands were changed
Bob has added the Orion II data to the dynamic range table on his site as well other rigs and some corrections. http://www.sherweng.com/table.html Gary W7TEA
Buck, those were exactly my observations with v1.371. I'd have S5 noise here in the city. The software NB would take it down a bit, the hardware NB would drop the noise a couple of S units and the NR
I have a very early VI Plus (03A11037) in which the TXCO was added later. The flat silver pack is on a small circuit board mounted on the chassis divider near the left rear of the logic board and con
Now this might start another discussion, but I installed an InRad CW roofing filter in my VI+. I do not have the equipment to make actual measurements, but for CW, I believe this rig is at least equa
"You say they are not listening? Look back and count just how many versions of software have been released with changes and feature enhancement. They got to be getting the info from somewhere. It jus
I am at the point of telling shippers, "If you use UPS, I don't want it." Twice this winter, I've followed the progress of a package on their web site to have it not arrive when scheduled. At 9 pm it
"If you paid for 2nd day air and it didn't come in 2 days you should request a refund of the shipping. From UPS Terms & Conditions of Service:" Thanks Alan. I'm doing just that. UPS told me last nigh
