ORION II, Ten-Tec adds a TFT color screen, a new roofing filter vs. Orion
Report del 12.01.2008



Il nuovo transceiver Orion II della Ten-Tec sostituisce il primo modello Orion con una
miglioramento delle performanse con l'uso del Display TFF a colori, con nuovo DSP
che impiega due ADI SHARC a 32-bit e un nuovo sistema di Rofing Filter a IF 9MHz..
Adds a brillant TFT color screen, two 32-bit floating-point ADI SHARC DSP and
a new 32-bit control processor using the Freescale DragonBall Super VZ chip, a
new roofing filter system at 1st IF 9MHz.
Come si vede dall'immagine il prezzo in Europa, the pice on UE, si differenzia in base
alla dotazione o meno dell'accordatore AT: Price Euro 4.748,00 e Euro $.398,00.



The Orion II is full dual receive capability. An HF amateur-bands-only Main receiver,
utilizes selectable crystal Roofing filters on the 1st IF 9MHz stage and IF-DSP bw filter-
ing.>> Standard, 20kHz, 6kHz, 2.4kHz, 1kHz. Optional, 1.8kHz, 600kHz, 300kHz.
The Sub receiver uses a single crystal Roofing filter abd IF-DSP bw and is general
coverange to 30MHz. Both receivers can be used simultaneously on ani frequency.
