I have noticed that all of the firmware updates for the O2 were released on Fridays. Every Friday I get very hopeful and hit the RF Squared website a lot! Maybe today? Ron N6AHA _____________________
I found this on the Internet--Airpax breakers for $1.50! I wonder if it's a misprint. Check item #G. http://www.solarseller.com/dc_circuit_breaker_breakers_rated_up_to_80_volts.htm Ron N6AHA ________

$5k-$6k isn't much for an auto-tune or no-tune 1.5 kW+ amp. The only others on the market in that power level, Alpha and Acom, cost more. The disturbing trend I have seen in broadcasting is that vacu
TheSG-500, PW-1 and Quadra were reviewed in QST. The SGC has a 3rd Order IMD of -28 dB and 5th Order of -48. The PW-1 is -36 and -41 respectively. The Quadra as -32 and -44. None are anything to writ
In the case of solid state, there is not much choice other than no-tune since the outputs can be easily broad-band matched to 50 Ohms and they generally use fixed low-pass filters for harmonic reject

Then by all means, please post a copy of the firmware that has apparently fixed in your unit the following: 1). The notch and auto notch that is outside the AGC loop contrary to the specifications; 2
The $1.50 Airpax breakers I ordered arrived today and although I haven't tested them, they appear to be the 'real deal'! No sign of prior use, and they have the extra "aux" contacts that can be used
Tom: Those some of the many good reasons for no-tune/auto-tune amps. Contesters, DX'ers who hop band-to-band, even casual operators who just want to "point and shoot", making the amp a true extension

And just how does one do that on a radio that has the ALC level fixed in the firmware and controlled by DSP? This isn't like a Kenmore that has a "carrier level" control on the front panel. There is
Cute, and still less than a 7800, but not much. The 600 Watt flavor is less than the full-blown FT-9000. The Germans are capable of producing top-quality equipment, but their cost of labor is so out
Probably a lot of reasons why the JA's never built as many amps as US companies. The power limitation in both Japan (I don't know what it is) and other countries could be a big reason, which relates
The ALC action in the Orions is not meant to be user adjustable. Not that there isn't an adjustment, and if there is, I suspect it would be found in the A5 section, schematic 81911_2 which is availab
There was a 'stray pixel' problem that was fixed in an update a while ago, but IIRC it was on the right side near the Step button. I on rare occasion see a stray show up now on the left side near Sen

I can't speak directly to the original Orion with v. 2, but I run a PR40, W2IHY 8-band and EQPlus with the Orion II. Interestingly enough, the PR40 sounds excellent with no EQ at all. Everything flat
