Hi Eric:
Thanks for your comments. I appreciate that very much.
I´m operating with this rig for about 4 months, and no way to get good
results. Probably my Orion has some problem.
I did read all reports on the adjustment with AGC, NR, roofing filters, BW
and PBT, and the reception still not good comparing with the MArk V.
Others operators came to my shack at the same contest. People who are using
YAESU and ICOM, and all of them didn´d like the ORION.
Thanks and 73
Oms

Assunto: RE: [Orion] ORION PERFORMANCE
Hello Oms --
I share Bill W4ZV's opinion that your troubles with the Orion were
probably due to sub-optimal receiver settings.
At the multi-op station where I was working this past weekend, I relieved
an operator and found his Orion sounded very noisy and
trashy. It was quickly apparent that:
-- the hardware noise blanker had been left on unnecessarily
-- the AGC threshold setting was far too low for the conditions on the
band
-- the filters, bandwidth setting, and passband tuning was not being
exploited for best results.
Some quick adjustments later, and signal readability was greatly
improved.
One might say: "The use of this radio is not intuitive, so an operator
unacquainted with it can not use it effectively." But,
more precisely, the Orion gives the operator a number of additional controls
which the operator needs to understand. But, once one
has a good mental picture of the receiver and what each control does, it's
easy.
