The O2 in v. 2.032 was the same, which is good news, since TT will probably be able to get that one fixed in the next week or two. Ron N6AHA _______________________________________________ TenTec mai

Wait...I know exactly what that noise is! It was bugging me for years, but after nosing around the Internet, I finally found out that it is the nasty third harmonic of a Cuban jamming station that ja

I just noticed, and verified another problem with the 2.033 firmware. Both the manual Notch and Auto Notch now cause noticeable artifacts when they have nulled a carrier. The artifacts were not prese
The artifacts appear to come from and be related to the remaining audio, so you probably wouldn't hear anything with just a carrier and random noise. I used the big 40 meter SW broadcast signals to t
Downward-expansion only for SSB, and DE plus bandpass filtering for CW. I have found that in SSB, anything that cuts into the high-end of the bandpass reduces the ability to copy. In my experience, N
One of the most significant purposes of this list is to discuss problems we are having with Ten Tec products, including the Orion. I don't think it's to worship TT, but maybe I missed that somehow. M
This one wound up on my spam filter, too, with the message "received may be forged", the same reference I get on the 'Nigerian Scam' e-mails. Ron N6AHA _______________________________________________
I have also gone back to 2.032. I notified TT about the new notch problem last night. Ron N6AHA _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.
I did the test with just the notch, both manual and automatic. The artifacts were continuous and related to the modulation in the passband, although when there was no modulation, there were no artifa
Our club, the Redwood Empire DX Association, is getting the use of an original Orion for Field day this year. Last year this same unit that had an early firmware version had crashing problems. The un
Thanks for all the comments about the firmware versions for FD. I'll pass it along to the rig owner so he can decide what he wants to do. I'm leaning toward the 2.056 without the band scope. I don't
Almost any cheap USB to serial adaptor will probably work. I have two that I got by just searching the Internet. One came from Amazon, but neither have a brand name marked on them and both were aroun
That was my reaction too, so I replaced the too long, too thin cable with a shorter run of #12. It didn't make any difference, but I just wanted to make sure I didn't have problems down the road. Ron
Sounds like there is progress, and that's a good sign. I won't get to test the new version until I get back from a business trip on Friday, but you can bet I'll be on with it over the weekend! Ron N6
Lee: Just to be sure it's not a low mic level issue, have you tried turning up the mic adjustment pot on the bottom of the radio all the way to see if you can get the led to flash? Ron N6AHA ________
Don's dismiss the possibility that the LED could be in backward. I took delivery on $125,000 worth of industrial back-plane computers and software this week and found one that had the PWR LED hooked
