Dear Barry, I'm (of course) not talking about "some people", I'm just
talking about a piece of radio equipment... So, there's no link between
people AND a black box !
There's a bunch of fellows hams here and I'd like to thank them for their
job with me... I learned more in 3 months here than during 7 years into my
club station !
So, IMO, no one should feel any personal "attack" as I'm just saying that
the Orion was not the product I dreamt of !
And again, who can explain that my Heil Goldline Pro mic is working
perfectly on my Mark V ? I spent more than one week trying to figure out
where was the "secret" to simply hook up the GM-4 to the Orion. There's only
4 pins on the mic and 4 in the Orion, and no one can exactly tell what was
the right connexion ! The schematics into the manual IS wrong too, and
facing all the information I received from the folks here (pin 2 here, pin 2
there, measure the resistance between pin 2 and GND lug, shield that or this
cable, ...), finally I was totally lost in space in the Orion constellation,
just for a single mike !
This sunday afternoon, I took the Heil GM mic (I even thought it was
defective at first!) and I rewired it for the Mark V just as mentioned into
the manual, just 4 solder to do, 7 minutes later in was on the air CQing.
Best regards to all,
Eric.

Considering how much patience folks on this reflector have shown you and
tried to help in the true spirit of ham radio, I'm dissappointed that you
display such disrespect on this reflector Eric.
