Hello all,
Thanks for the many replies,
I used the radio last night on 40M and 160M with no errors, and no sweep
except for short periods to see if I had any neighbors. Made contact with
Dominica on Both 40M and 160M, just in few minutes of casual listening. a
real pleasure to work with this radio. Learning only with AGC threshold so
far. Got the PC interfaces connected last night, Now I have to start
learning how to use all the gadgets on it. NB, NR, NOTCH, AN and stuff,
Would like to see a Note on the manual about sweep problems,
My previous rig was the OMNI D, would like the slow QSK feature as on that
one, Or better yet, an old fashion PTT that sets the 'T' line in the
schematics.
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
