I happened to experience a big difference in the performance of the two receivers in the Orion this weekend. Our club traditionally makes a "serious" effort in the Virginia QSO Party every year, and
Nothing "magic" here, Bob, but here are my VOX settings: trip level: 8% anti-vox: 20% hang: 0.20 sec These setting work for my Heil headset mikes, HC-4 and HC-5, and for my D-104 with a Heil HC-4 ele
I am looking for an InRad 600MHz roofing filter to go in the 1000Hz slot on my Orion I. If you have one that you'd like to sell, please send me email directly. tnx es 73 - John, W4AU ________________
This discussion is beginning to take on certain aspects of an earlier Orion discussion: How many remember the passionate prose that was generated a few years back when a photo of the prototype Orion
Hi Mark - If you load version 2.* software and the sweep works, then the mod has been done. The sweep doesn't work with version 2.* of the software unless the hardware mod has been done. 73 - John, W
The ongoing discussion of the LDG OT-IIP tuner brings up a question that I've been wanting to ask: does anyone know why LDG is not longer making this tuner? It seems to have had some real advantages
I, too, suffer from low headphone volume (compared with the speaker) from my Orion I. But why build something you don't have to? My solution was to use a Behringer HA400, description from web below.
Hi Ken - I, too, was a long-time user of Hyperlog and found that it did just about everything I needed or wanted in a general purpose logging program and for keeping track of DXCC and other awards. W
I am planning to send my model 254 tuner to my son, who is recently licensed. I haven't used this tuner for a while and can't find my manual for it. As I recall, it is only a few pages and a schemati

I'm trying to resurrect my Omni VI+ (option 3 upgrade) that appears to have some severe problems related to the logic board. Yes, I have tried TenTec's premier repair service, and the rig was rejecte
Lots of messages about the new firmware for the Orion II. Does anyone know what the status of new firmware for the original Orion? tnx es 73 - John, W4AU _____________________________________________
My Omni VI has developed a strange tuning behavior. When I tune through a CW signal, instead of the tone continuously varying as I tune through it, the tone changes in discreet steps every 150 or 200
Thanks for the tip, Dave; that was one of the first things I thought of, too. It's set at 1 kHz per turn for both SSB and CW. 73 - John, W4AU _______________________________________________ TenTec ma
I have noticed that the "Sweep Range" setting has disappeared from the RX Menu (it has been replaced by a "Sweep Display" toggle). I can't seem to find where it has moved. Does anyone know? tnx es 73
I have a TenTec Omni VI+ (Omni VI with factory option 3 upgrade) for sale. Before advertising it on eham, etc., I thought I'd stick it on this reflector and give the true Ten-Tec fans a chance. This
Hi Phil - Thanks for the offer, but I sold the Omni VI with all the filters. 73 - John, W4AU _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.con
One problem with the Omni VI, VI+, and some other out-of-production TenTec radios is that key components may no longer be available for easy repairs. For example, TenTec tech support told me it was n
My Omni VI has found a new home along with its manual, but I seem to remember that you can use a combination of the sidetone and CW buttons to send CW without transmitting. I THINK that you push the
Hi John - I'm glad that you are forging ahead with the Orion II firmware update. Do you have any plans for a similar update for us folks with the original Orion? If so, I would like to volunteer to b
