I have been reading the remarks about the O2 sweep and I did a quick test on my O"1" . While the sweep does pause a bit the faster you tune, it does update quickly and is useful to tune with. Practic
Thanks, Buck! Just curious, ya know! 73, Randy K4QO Any chance this is rf in the shack? (or at least in the radio?) I appreciate the suggestion and I have considered it. snip...
Finished the hardware mod and uploaded V2 into my 565 Orion. It was amazingly easy - TenTec did a fantastic job on the mod manual. (Heathkit would be proud!) Is it me or is the screen "crisper"? Gott
I spent most of today (Sunday) removing the TenTec supplied auto-tuner and putting the LDG in its place. ( a couple of times actually - not fun!) For now, I'm keeping the TenTec model. Here's why...
I've been reading the reports of various issues from V2.0 and I thought I would weigh in... V2.0 is a vast improvement over v1.x in my opinion. Its not perfect, but my AN, NB, NR and Notch work perfe
Danny, I went to 40 meters and tuned in a SW broadcaster. When I activate the manual notch it works correctly. This is with the rf gain at about 40. Above 50 it still works perfectly and I also get a
Where/what do I adjust/test to make sure my Orion's frequency reference is calibrated? I noticed the sub-rcvr is a bit off of WWV... Thanks es 73, Randy K4QO
Thanks for the references to the nice write-ups on setting the master oscillator in the Orion. My Orion was off a good bit for my taste. I have one thing to add to the whole procedure to make it a bi
Oooookay.... I have some thoughts on this latest press release... 1) Now we know why V 2.0 is taking so long for release. These guys don't have unlimited resources and it looks like we now know what
I'm not faulting TT for having a new version of radio. That *is* a normal and healthy thing for them to do and everyone agrees on that. What I think is bothering folks like me is the fact that they d
If the amp that kicks in at the tighter bandwidths is the problem, why not just adjust the gain of that amp down a bit. Wouldn't that improve the IMD without resorting to 3rd party filters? Or is it
I just wanted to pass along a very positive experience in the middle of the stream of problems that are usually discussed here. Pardon me while I rave about this great radio. I spent many hours opera
If you have old eyes like mine, you have trouble finding which hole is for the headphones after you haven't used that function for a while... especially with the dim lighting I like to use when opera
Paul, I used a 580 Delta for years and loved it! Like you, I like to operate with the RF gain. Since it didn't have one I used the On/Off function of the volume control (which is pull on/push off, I
It was me... here's the text: "If you have old eyes like mine, you have trouble finding which hole is for the headphones after you haven't used that function for a while... especially with the dim li
Folks, I'm new to this reflector and I apologise if this has been covered. I was a bit dissappointed in the murky display on the Orion - its not as crisp as the ads show. Beyond that the radio is pre
Lots of advice on the contrast adjustment - I appreciate that - I always start with the obvious when helping someone with their technical stuff too! ;-) Actually, I have the screen adjusted pretty we
