10、4 Chapter 1 YOUR NEW ORION ORION THE NEXT STEP IN TEN-TEC INNOVATION The Ten-Tec ORION represents the most innovative HF transceiver ever created for amateur radio use. Our aim in designing and producing this radio was to meet the demands of increasingly intense competition in DX and contesting, whi

11、le adding many non- performance related features that the active ham can also appreciate. The features and performance ORION brings to ham radio will enhance HF radio contacts of all sorts, while opening new possibilities for amateur radio operation. ORION offers world-class reception and transmissi

12、on of CW, SSB, digital modes, FM, and AM on all 10 HF amateur bands, plus excellent general coverage reception via the second (sub) receiver from 100 kHz to 30 MHz. UNPACKING YOUR NEW ORION Examine ORION for signs of shipping damage. Should any damage be apparent, notify the delivering carrier immed

13、iately, stating the full extent of the damage. Retain all damaged cartons. Liability for shipping damage rests with the carrier. We recommend that you keep the carton and fillers in the event that storage, moving, or shipment becomes necessary. The following hardware and accessories come standard wi

14、th your ORION. Make sure that you have not overlooked anything. QtyPart #Description 1#27074Mini-ATC Blade Fuse, 25 Amp. 1#35003Phono Plug 1#350574-pin Microphone Connector 1#351631/8 in. Stereo Plug 1#351652-pin Power Connector Shell 2#41020Female Power Pins 6 ft#46159Wire, Red three are optional.

15、The standard roofing filters included are 20 kHz, 6 kHz, 2.4 kHz, and 1 kHz. Optional filters are available at 1.8 kHz (model 218), 500 Hz (model 217) and 250 Hz (model 219). Note that the 20 kHz and 6 kHz roofing filters are of limited utility for maintaining the overall receiver performance level

16、of a high end HF transceiver like ORION. They were 565 manualSeptember 2003 Part #74279 Printed in USA 6 included only because AM and FM operation would require them, and because some operators with an interest in “hi-fidelity” SSB audio will require receiver bandwidths higher than the typical 2.4 k

17、Hz communications grade roofing bandwidth would allow. Certainly the use of either a 20 kHz or 6 kHz wide roofing filter has the potential to allow overall receiver performance (dynamic range and third-order intercept point) to be seriously compromised by loud closeby signals. For serious receiver u

18、se, like weak signal DXing and contesting, a much smaller roofing bandwidth than 20 or 6 kHz is necessary. In ORION for SSB use, it can be as little as 1.8 kHz for roofing. For CW, it can be as little as 250 Hz, depending on the installation of optional filters. For some recommended real-world examp

19、les of how roofing filters affect overall receiver performance, please look at recent ARRL Product Reviews from QST magazine where dynamic range and third-order intercept are measured at 20 kHz and 5 kHz signal spacings. For our competitors transceivers, the 5 kHz spacing numbers are always signific

20、antly worse than the 20 kHz spacing numbers this is because of the presence of test signals under a 15 to 20 kHz wide roofing filter vs. outside the filter. 565 manualSeptember 2003 Part #74279 Printed in USA 7 Chapter 2 ORION FRONT AND REAR PANEL CONTROLS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS Chapter 2 of the ORION

21、manual covers the various controls and connectors on the front and rear panels, with an explanation of the each control and how it is used for operation of the radio. ANALOG METER An analog meter is provided at the upper left hand side of the front of the transceiver. In receive, the meter shows S-u

22、nits of signal strength for the main receiver. In transmit, the meter shows approximate output power (+/- 5%). A separate bar graph S-meter for the subreceiver is present on the radio screen. (1) POWER This button turns the transceiver on and off. (2 7) ANTENNA ASSIGNMENTS The two columns of antenna

23、 selection keys (numbered 2 through 7 in the figure above) allow the assignment of up to three 565 manualSeptember 2003 Part #74279 Printed in USA 8 connected antennas to each of the two receivers. The most common arrangement would be to have a single antenna connected to ANT 1 used by either the ma

24、in receiver only, or by the main receiver and the subreceiver both. Buttons 2, 4 and 6, as shown above, allow ANT 1, ANT 2 or RX ANT to be connected to the main receiver. To connect an antenna attached to the transceiver via the ANT 1 rear panel jack to the main receiver, press button 2 shown above.

25、 The amber LED embedded in the button will light, indicating the main receiver is now connected to ANT 1. Pressing button 4 as shown above will connect the main receiver to ANT 2. When either of the ANT 1 or ANT 2 buttons in the MAIN RX/TX column is lit, a receive only antenna can be substituted for

26、 the receive side of ANT 1 or ANT 2 by pushing button 6 as shown in Figure 2-1. Example: With button 2 or button 4 lit, press button 6. The operator will note that there are now two lighted buttons in this column, either of 2 or 4, plus 6. The radio will automatically use either ANT 1 or ANT 2 for t

27、ransmit and RX ANT for receive in this configuration. Buttons 3, 5, and 7 control the assignment of the subreceiver to each of the antennas connected to the radio. The subreceiver can either share the same antenna in use for the main receiver, or it can be split off to used with a separate antenna.

28、An antenna attached to ANT 1, ANT 2, or RX ANT can be used simultaneously with both receivers or they can be split off to separate receivers. One receiver cannot be used with two antennas at the same time. One antenna + one receiver, two antennas + two receivers, One antenna + two receivers are the

29、available selections. Additionally, button 2 is used for performing a master reset of the transceiver. See the MASTER RESET description in Chapter 4. (8 13) VFO ASSIGNMENTS While dual receive transceivers are common today, ORION allows an unprecedented level of flexibility to the operator for main a

30、nd subreceiver control with the VFO assignment buttons. Receivers can be assigned to separate VFOs (the most common arrangement) or both receivers can be assigned to a single VFO. Important note: VFOs are not receivers! The operator is permitted to assign each VFO to either receiver and the transmit

31、ter. VFOs can be adjusted even if NO receiver is selected for them. The two large tuning knobs are for each VFO. The large knob on the left closest to the display screen is always VFO A, the large knob to the right is always VFO B. Buttons 8 and 9 determine which VFO the transmitter is assigned to.

32、The TX frequency also determines the output of the BAND DATA connectors on the ORION rear panel (see description of 76 BAND DATA 1 and 77 BAND DATA 2 elsewhere in this manual). Buttons 10 and 11 determine which VFO the main receiver is assigned to. Buttons 12 and 13 determine which VFO the sub recei

33、ver is assigned to. The assignments of the VFOs are not only shown by the amber LEDs inside the buttons, and are announced on the display screen. Shown in Figure 2-2 below is the default screen when powering up ORION after a master reset. 565 manualSeptember 2003 Part #74279 Printed in USA 9 Figure

34、2-2 ORION Screen Display Refer to Figure 2-2. Next to the 14.250.000 frequency display for VFO A are the letters TR. T is for transmitter, R is for main receiver, and S is for sub receiver. As the operator assigns the transmitter and receivers using buttons 8 through 13, the T R and S indicators wil

35、l move back and forth on the screen. If a transmitter or receiver has no assignment, the annunciator will not be shown. The main receiver and the transmitter are amateur bands-only coverage. An attempt to assign them to a frequency outside the ham bands will result in one of three messages appearing

36、 on the screen: VFO-A OUTSIDE RX RANGE, VFO-B OUTSIDE RX RANGE or FREQUENCY NOT SUPPORTED depending on how the user was attempting to put the main receiver on a non-amateur frequency. Buttons 8 and 9 can be used to turn the transmitter off by deselecting both buttons. Push 8 and 9 so neither light i

37、s lit. The T indicator will not be present on the screen. Buttons 12 and 13 can be used in a similar fashion to deselect the subreceiver, but there will still be audio present through the subreceiver audio chain on the last used subreceiver frequency when doing so it will not mute the subreceiver. S

38、ubreceiver audio can be muted by turning the SUB AF encoder all the way counterclockwise or by pressing it to mute. After no VFO is assigned to the subreceiver, the last subreceiver frequency will still be audible. The main receiver cannot be disabled; it will always be assigned to either VFO A or V

39、FO B via buttons 10 and 11. Receivers can be assigned to one VFO or the other simultaneously. There are advantages to doing so see section the section of Chapter 4 called DIVERSITY RECEPTION for information on diversity receive capabilities using the two receivers, the VFOs and multiple antennas.

When adapting another microphone, please refer to the connector-wiring diagram. We include a spare 4-pin

41、microphone connector (P/N 35057) with the packing kit to allow rewiring of your current mic for use with ORION. The pinout for the 4 pin mic connector on the front of the ORION is shown in Figure 2-3. Wiring of the mic is shown below in Figure 2-4. Front View of 565 PTT (3) +9VDC (4) MIC (1) GND (2)
