My Orion's RS-232 computer interface is fixed at 57600 baud. My FT-1000MP is fixed at 4800 baud and works with any logging program that I've tried it with. My Elecraft K2 is fixed at 4800 baud and al
"Is the Orion baud rate 57600 or 56000? Logic 6 has a setting for 56000." == The Orion Programmer's Reference Manual says, "Fixed at 57600 baud". And that's the baud rate between the radio and comput
"I suggested that bandwidth information be retained in the registers and was happy to see this implemented in V 1.341. I've now lobbied to have the PBT and AGC settings retained in the registers in a
I receive my new Ten-Tec Orion last Friday (16 May) and I've had enough time to play with it and let you know my initial impressions about the rig. After playing with it for a few hours, it was appar

In my post about the Orion, there were a couple of errors (senior moments): When I mentioned that the Orion at 50 watts output didn't appear to drive my amp enough on SSB, I said that increasing the

"I rotated the tuning knob on every Ten-Tec at the show and every one had an eccentric knob." == The eccentricity of both of the VFO knobs on my Orion looks to be about 1/64" or less. I would never h

Thanks to N4TZ/9 for his response, but it doesn't have anything to do with W4ZV's elecrtic company power glitches nor the amount of drive required required from the Orion on SSB (compared to CW) for
If you power down the Orion while the preamp is turned on, when you apply power to the radio again the preamp is inactive (although "ON" is displayed next to the Preamp button). Pressing the PREAMP b
Hi, Dean (W5PJR), "Im sure youve seen the preliminary dope on the new Icom 7800? Another interesting radio. I dont know how far it is away from production; but as a long time Icom enthusiast, I can h

Regarding the audio tone I reported from my Orion's front panel phone jack, two respondees suggested that it was coming from my computer and getting into the radio via the AUX I/O DIN jack. Well, not

After much playing around with adjusting the center frquency of my 500 and 250 Hz xtal filters, I finally came up with a procedure that works. After performing this procedure, switching between UCW a

When I checked the frequency accuracy of my new Orion, the LCD readout when 10 MHz WWV was zero beat was about 20 Hz low (after a long warmup). On 15 MHz WWV it was 30 Hz low. That's not too shabby,
