Hi All,
I recently acquired an Orion II and am getting
used to it more each day. I have two questions for
any Orion users in the group.
#1- I am using the factory default settings for
the AGC fast, medium and slow values. Can anyone
suggest any values that they use which may seem
better? Is there a tutorial on-line or a
repository of AGC values maintained anywhere for
reference? I have not ventured into the
programmable AGC world yet with the Orion II
#2- In adjusting some… but not all menu values
with the multi-knob encoder, I find that it
sometimes generates a bit of “flutter” in between
some value settings and seems a bit imprecise. Is
this normal or should I investigate replacing the
multi-knob encoder at some point? This Orion II is
quite new dating to spring 2013 manufacture and
was back to TT in November of this year for a
check out by them with nothing noted by them in
this regard. It’s not a biggie but I am curious if
others have noticed this phenomenon.
I came to the Orion II from the K3, which I still
own and which I have held as the benchmark for HF
RX performance since 2008. But this receiver is
quite spectacular, very special and far more
pleasing to my ears. Who knew!?! Just a joy to
use. Digital RX that sounds like old-time analog
RX. Well done TT!
Thanks for any input that can be given on my two
questions above.
