Not so fast. The site is down, if you go beyond the top page. It is failing on MySQL database operations. We've seen this before. One of their servers is probably wedged. (technical programming term)

I would be really interested to know what TT's regression (and beta) testing involves. Odd that one of the primary (?) operating modes stops working and they don't notice. Maybe it's my imagination,

Circulating air will reduce the temperature rise and the total warmup drift (and maybe prolong your rig's life), but you will still have drift from changes in ambient temperature. The "better" way is

The Orion 1/2 gives you 1 Hz setting precision, so 10 Hz is easy to measure. This is very handy if you actually want to measure frequencies to high accuracy/precision. See my 2005 ARRL FMT result for

Schematics are not published yet for the Orion II, are they? I don't see them. In any case, the same clock oscillator seems to be used for the Master and Sub CODEC in the Orion 1. I have not noticed

I don't think I've seen an "inherent flaw" in v2. From all that has been said, v2 has a much better technical base than v1 did. (Of course, you can still run v1 forever if you want.) And v2 has to wo

John, You have a point. Despite the drift, my old TS-520S was quite successful running PSK31 after warmup. That's about as demanding a mode as any on HF. So why worry about a few Hz on the Orion? Sta
