- My Orion arrived yesterday evening and is up and running and looking good. Early days yet but there's already a lot I like about this radio. I do have one area that I am struggling with currently. I

- Bob, That's the way TT does it. The ORION is my first TT radio, and I didn't like that at first. Now I just don't worry about it. I use: Step size 10, and VFO rate to fast. THEN, THE NICE THING IS: I

- Bob, you may not have discovered the 10X tuning rate change that is toggled by depressing Main RX or Sub RX. When toggled, you will see "xm" appear by Step along with the new rate at 10X normal. My d

- Hi, I don't own an Orion but have you tried N4PY software to customize the tuning rate? It works on the Pegasus version. 5Hz is a nice CW tuning rate. Art W2NRA rate for the VFO. rate change that you

- Thanks for your comments. I guess I can get used to the 10 Hz step size and 2.5 kHz per revolution for regular use. However, I would much prefer an everyday setting that would give me around 5 kHz pe

- Howdy Bob: I use 10hz stepping for my Orion and find it just right for CW and SSB....the 1hz step rate is just too slow for much of anything. 73, Joe W2KJ ____________________________________________

- I am another of those who prefer the 10 Hz tuning step size with the 100 Hz "Xm" option when I need to get somewhere more hurridly. While the discrete tuning steps are not as smooth as my old SX96, 1

- The rig with the rubber tuning rate was an early synthesized ICOM. I have had several here, and since that one only lasted two days I don't remember whether it was the 720, the 735, or one of the oth
