I have two Orion 565ATs....the receivers are amazing. Notice in the video RF gain at 100%. To really make this radio sound great, drop that gain down and turn up AF Gain if necessary. The noise goes away and all you'll hear is the voice coming through.
I have the first generation of the Orion. It's a fantastic radio as well, but It's way over my head as to all it will do. I need to sell it. I have and still use the Omni VI Plus. That's more my speed. Of course I have 2 of the Scouts, an Argonaut, and the Eagle as well. I'm radio poor!
I have the 565.. Mic. Wiring is unique. The earth return for PTT and mic. braid MUST be kept separate. Read the manual regarding that. I run mine with condenser mic. My SNAPHAT batt has just failed.. 73.
Iv had a few TenTec in my day from Corsair to Omni 6.Just love them and something a bit different to the usual jap black box. The Orion is a rare beast here in the UK
Loved the Filters and the warm Audio Sound coming out of the onboard Speaker. And yesss...it's not a Rice Burner, it's made in USA! Wohoooo 💯🎸🎸🎸👏
Best RX on this radio that I have ever heard. Can only think they used the design from their commercial radios.

Magnificent rig ! From an owner of the Omni 6 Plus/Hercules 2 and TT Auto tuner I am so jealous! Enjoy
I always loved the look of the Orion II with the twin knob VFO's that were the same size. Take care Brenton, 73 Joe
Gorgeous!
thank you
Beautiful
Very nice radio sir. If only I am not 10 hours away from you by plane, I would have brought you my two IC-735 to you have it reconditioned.
Shes sweet love it📻
I think you need to secure your Mustang now! Haha, shame you didn't have a mic on it.👍🤠

I really dig it but I'm afraid it'd be out of my budget. I have not seen any advertised before. Very nice! 👀
When was that made?
Ten-Tec can use Yaesu microphones.
