Pat, I haven't looked at 3.990, but I recall seeing some mention that it was DRM, the digital SW broadcasting. According to my latest DRM schedule, Deutsche Welle (the German National station) broadc
Beppe, I agree with your comments. The Orion is a great performing rig, but the user interface presentation on the screen is not up to the same standard and degrades the perceived quality of the radi
Larry, Glad you're on the mend. Since your other computer has such a large hard drive, I'm assuming it's of fairly recent vintage and thus of pretty decent processor horsepower. What do you want to d

Jack, Do you already have your Orion audio hooked up to you PC for digital modes, such as PSK31? If so, that's all you need hardware wise. If you don't have the audio output setup, the simplest conne

Paul, manual. Are people using and happy with the Panoramic Stereo feature for zero beating the cw signal when the apparent volume is equal in both ears? The reason I ask is that I have a significant

Dick, This doesn't answer your question directly, but why don't you leave the 961 on all the time and turn the power on / off with the Omni VI+ switch? If your VI+ has the crystal oven that would kee
Interesting question. It is definitely possible (anything is possible), but probably requires a level of knowledge not generally available outside of TenTec (with the possibile exception of former TT
The Pegasus has a DIN plug on the front panel for Aux I/O. However, the audio input level is mic level. The audio output level is fixed but a little high for line level (at least I had to use a paddi
Yesterday morning, I wanted to listen to a local AM broadcast (820 kHz) station on the Orion while I did some work in the shack. No matter what I did, I couldn't get the Orion sounding very good. The
Thanks everyone for the replies. I went back and checked my Orion this morning. I had a suggestion to make sure NR and NB were off - they were. This morning, everything sounded fine and I tried sever
I'll second that. Take a look at the sweep functions on Icom's 756 series. I found it helpful not only in finding signals, but after a while I could even identify what type of signal it was. One thin
I find all the discussion of the Orion interesting and I think the Orion has it's place, but I think what is needed is an affordable starter radio. We need a radio that a new ham can buy without brea
Good question. Obviously if it could be done for $300, that would be better, but I'm already asking a lot from the manufacturer. I just sort of figured that $500 was the most you could expect a new
You may be right, but unless someone asks, it may never be tried. While not a true apples-to-apples comparison, look at tremendous drop in consumer electronics prices. Perhaps some of that technolog
John, What's the button on the top near the right front? Has the serial port and sidetone been modified per the V.9 update? Any idea what shipping from AK to Ohio would run? 73, Mark -- Original Mess
