Hello all,
For the Orion,
Anyone have sort of a check list of things they go through when they start
listening on a band, For example, RF AMP then Attenuation then RF Gain to
get S8 noise, then AGC Gain to Sx+2, NR to 4-5, AN 3-6.
Interested to hear the different methods.
Thanks
Richard.

Received New Orion yesterday,
So far, it's receive performance is living up to expectations, Initial
QSO's with two canary island stations on 40M right off the bat, one stong,
and one weak. That looks good there.
Yet two things happened that were un-expected.
1) One time when inserting head phones into jack ( used stereo type ) the
Antenna and VFO push button settings jumped. Other times no problems.
2) When transmitting on CW QSO right in the middle of a character, the ALC
light stopped indicating and it appeared the transmit was not keying, yet
could hear my side tone. In a hurry to finish QSO so did a power off reset
and came up on frequency then finished the QSO
Both Times had the Sweep going at 72.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? or perhaps others seeing things like
this?
Nice Rig, Looks like it will really perform well.
Thanks
