Stuart: I don't yet know what the problem is? I don't think that the cogs have stripped out, but I'm not sure how to check if it is binding. I'm experiencing the same problem with a second driven ele

Hi Don: I have never used an ICOM 756 so I can't comment on its relative operation. My new Orion replaced a Yaesu FT-1000. The FT-1000 with a NIR-12 DSP was a mighty fine rig, but I think that the Or

Clark: I guess it all depends on how you view the comments. Is the glass half full or is it half empty? I really don't find the comments posted on this board to be very heavy criticisms. No, not at a

After taking "care" of a few pine trees, I finally have my new 3 element SteppIR antenna up and operational. It sure seems to work well. The antenna patterns seem to be a little sharper than the TH-7

Yes, my control box is the new one. I received the antenna the end of May. The control box has the 57,600 baud setting and the Orion as a transceiver option in the menu options. Matter of fact, I thi

In the Orion Model 565 Programmer's Reference Guide, Revision 1.2, page 5, it says that "the interface parameters are fixed at 57,600 baud, No Parity, 8 Data bits, 1 Stop bit." You can download a cop

I suspect that many new 7800 owners are going to be a little disappointed at the reviews and results. I also suspect that many bought the radio on the faith that ICOM would produce it according to "p

Are any of you using the SteppIR transceiver interface with your Orion? I can't seem to get the interface to work between my Orion and the SteppIR control box. I have checked the pin outs on the conn

I don't have any problem with these so called "dry spells." My Orion works just fine and that REALLY is the way that I like it. I have been reading some of the Icom and Yeasu boards and I really beli

Unfortunately Bob you are wrong. I asked the TenTec representative at the Huntsville Hamfest last Summer why they didn't use a color display on the Orion. His answer was simple. Cost! They felt that

Mike: It is more likely that the ones making the comments were the ones wishing that they had a FT-1000 or an IC-781. I have no doubt that ICOM will sell a lot of IC-7800s. But, I still see many nega

Sinisa: In general, I think that you are correct. ALL COMPANIES should meet their specs, but, sadly, few do. This applies across the board, not just to ham radios. But, I am satisfied with my Orion.
