Many thanks guys, I now have two of the three filters I wanted for my Orion.
If there is an Inrad 762 out there somewhere..let me know.
Also..any remote chance anybody has any Inrads for an Yaesu MP...heresy to
ask..but..never know when somebody is moving from the Yaesu to the new
OrionII. Sold both fully filtered MP's and bought an unfiltered MK 5...duh.
TIDBIT of trivia...Happened to look at an OLD 1996 I think CQ with the
original MP review...listed sales price $3300 without and $3600 with the
power supply...wow...makes the Orion look like a real bargain in todays
dollars for what we get..Safe and happy New Year to all....73, Tommy WD4K

LDG folks since they are planning to release an even
better tuner with memory built in, unlike the ones TT has shipped so far
(at least on the Orion).

Is this anticipated new LDG tuner internal?

Can't imagine a better tuner. The internal TT OII tuner tunes my unruly open
wire fed/bauln/coax antennas just fine. Memory isn't what I needed, range
was, and the OII has it.

Hi.
I must have ordered my Orion II the same day as you. I was wondering if you
are trading in. I sent them my trade in already -- so it will
be interesting to see if there is much difference between our delivery
dates.

According to LDG, the new one they are planning has the same or better
range, and has memory. I really like the memory idea as ths will speed
tuning even more. I agree, the current Orion tuner has considerable
range - at least mine sure does (and I don't know whether it is an LDG or
a TT tuner.) My experience is with the Orion tuner, though I doubt that
changes have been made in the Orion II since they are not mentioned on
the web site as one of the upgrades.
In answer to the other question - it is an internal tuner, and was
described as replacing an existing tuner in the Orion - they do not say
it can be added to an Orion that never had a tuner installed.

The Orion that was delivered to me in Sep 2003 has an LDG tuner that matches
antennas that my Icom 775 wouldn't touch.

FWIW, I went back to the CVS in Hattiesburg, MS and found them on the
last-minute gifts shelf. I bought one to try and that left four. They rang
up for $9.99.
The volume out is lower than my Heil Pro Set Plus and Heil Quiet Phones.
Haven't had any noise the try them against. I think I'll through them in
the box for portable ops. If they break, no big deal.
