Hello Barry ,Mark,



For Info.
I had a word with Tentec and the suggestion for two L/S one on the main and the other on the 2nd RX and to be able to use headphones (although headphones OR main L/S on the main) is to use a stero splitter plugged into the Headphone socket on the front ,and feed both L/S from there. Ive tried it and the audio gain seems to be OK but Im not sure about the matching -as I dont have a circuit. I think the new 2nd receiver when it is available will give more audio gain, and its got a pre amp.... so the RF gain control wont have to be so high.



Thanks all

Dave G3RXP

Hi Guys,

As soon as you connect headphones to the front socket the loudspeakers
inside and external speaker is disabled so it doesnt matter how you
configure the audio controls I cannot get them to all work at the same time.

 I agree on the RF control, and this is always the way I have run a RX
whatever the type -but the trouble is that the S meter doesnt work.

Dave

One more thing.......

Never use any outboard (DSP) processor for the audio. The greatest asset
of the ORION is its ability of a wonderfull recovered audio presentation.

Use your RF Gain, never set it above 90. Ever. Not even on 10/12mtrs.

So, .....actually two :)

Hi Barry and Mark thanks for the info - I think the internal L/S is
disabled
when the external L/S is plugged in, the same with headphones - but Ill
check those suggestions again.
Just thinking about it I have my headphones connected to the back exp L/S
via an external DSB audio filter so that may be the problem.


Thanks  Dave

I would like to monitor the 2nd RX by loudspeaker and use the
headphones
for the main RX and wondered what is the best method to do this. I
could
use the line output socket at the back but I may have missed an easy
option?

Why not use the EXT SPKR output on the rear panel (or just the Orion's
internal speaker) with Audio configured as Left/Right=Main and
Spkr=Sub?
