I just received one of the traded-in Orion I's last week from Ten Tec (that
someone traded in for an Orion II). I really love the radio so far! One
thing I was wondering about is the monitor funtion. I will put a set of Sony
7506 headphones in and select monitor at 100%. Listening to someone through
the headphones, I have the AF set at about 25%. However, when I talk (and
want to listen to my own audio), I have to turn the AF up to at least 50%.
Is this normal? I do not plan on using this funtion much, but was just
curious. I know the Icoms I have had in the past were a little like this,
but maybe not this bad. No big deal really. I have been so surprised at how
awsome this rig really is compared to what I have had in the past
seems to me the monitor function and the af gain are interconnected, I know
sometimes I have the monitor low and the rf gain low and the af gain high,
and then I raise the rfgain and key thwe microphone and blow my own socks
off..
I do agree it is a super radio. I have had min 8 or 9 months now and find
it does some amazing things.. have fun and play with it. also remember only
stereo head sets and take a slow read of the manual, while sitting at the
radio.. It almost has too many functions.. :)
