"Well done" - Well, yes and no. Good to have bugs fixed, but not so good to release updates without thorough testing! Not to reopen ancient discussions. This is just a fact of life for us long-time O
Well Martin I guess Geoff and I look into our morning coffee and see it as half full while you see it as half empty. Different stroke for different folks. Either way it's still progress. 73, Rick VE7
Rick, I'll go with half full, if you like! I (heart) my Orion. The number to watch is the total number of "outstanding issues" (bugs & mis-features) over time. It should be decreasing, and it probabl
To Ten-Tec: Thanks for the recent update - 2.062a. It seems to work okay, although I haven't wrung out every little trick. I like the S meter action, it works fine with my MixW, the CW sounds fine an
Actually, I think it is broken, Paul. I loaded the latest and the audio gain level is way down again. I reloaded the last version and the gain is up. It seems to me that every time we get a fix, some

My Orion I had been loaded with what I think was 2056. I was pretty satisfied with that release and had stayed away from later ones because of some of the issues reported on this reflector and some p
The main issue that I have with this version (really a carry over issue for every version since 2.x) is the slight (slight?) audio fuzziness I hear, especially noticeable in headphones (I typically u
Jerry I have just sent additional information to TenTec which is essentially the same as you report, and had contacted the factory yesterday with initial information about it. I had not seen your ema
Is this the noise that is eliminated when you add just a little hang time to the AGC? Set the AGC hang time to at least 0.12 and see if the rasp goes away. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Drive Be
Carl I have seen your suggestion recommended. I have tried playing with the hang time with very minimal if any effect. I have also played with the threshold and decay time. No effect. A strange chara
On my radio, the raspy CW is particularly bad with Fast AGC and narrow bandwidths (<1khz). It is starting to sound like the DSP in an ICOM 756Prox. There is a definite "thump" at the end. NR works be
Interesting! I have about a dozen different headsets around here from aircraft style to Koss stereo HiFi, various types from the FM broadcast station and two pairs of Trimm Professionals, the ones wi
Hi Lee, Thanks for the info for everyone. Where did you get the Trimm headsets? Probably not available any more.... <GRIN> --Bob W1XT, Surprise, AZ ex W3HGN from (home town) Bethlehem, PA. __________
The metal diaphragm headsets I refer to probably cost no more than a few dollars. They had a cloth cord and a round metal plate the size of the earpiece. It stuck to the magnet in the coil. Very tinn

Could it be that the modern low impedance (4 to 8 ohm) headphones take so little voltage drive that turning down the DSP headphone drive leaves it using so few bits of the digital level that you hear
Yep! That describes my hamfest Trimm's perfectly. Cheap wire band too. The cloth covered cord is very flexible and light weight though. That is nice. The foam pads I put on them probably cost more th
The other thing to consider is good old fashioned cross-over distortion at low audio levels. This seems to be the reason TT suggested a pad (of a couple of hundered ohms) in series with the headphone
