Send Functions - Ten-Tec Orion 565 Manual

(19) SP
SP has two different functions depending on
which mode the operator has selected. In
SSB modes, the SP control is used for
speech processing. In LSB or USB mode,
press the SP button to turn the speech
processor on and off. When on, use the
MULTI knob to adjust from a value of 1 to 9.
Higher values represent more processing.
Please note on the highest settings of 8 and
9 that it is relatively easy to send the radio
into SSB transmit distortion depending on
where the mic gain and other TX controls
are set! Use the monitor function to listen to
your transmitted audio.
The SP button is used for keyer speed
control in CW modes. Press the SP button
when in LCW or UCW mode to activate the
CW keyer. Speed control is 10 to 60 WPM.

(20) SEND FUNCTIONS

ORION is equipped with three CW
memories and three voice memories.
ORION will retain three on each mode, for a
total of six. An asterisk (*) appears on the
ORION screen just to the right of each
button when a SEND memory has been
recorded.
To record a message in a voice mode in
SEND 1 or SEND 2: Press and hold the
appropriate button for two seconds. A
submenu titled DIGITAL VOICE
RECORDER CONTROL will appear at the
bottom of the screen.
There are five options: EXIT, RECORD,
PLAY, DELETE and SAVE. The five
buttons below these options (numbers 22
through 26) are used for these functions.
To RECORD a message, press RECORD
(button 23) and begin speaking into the
microphone. There are 4.54 seconds of
available recording time for each of the
SEND 1 and SEND 2 voice memories.
When finished, you can check the recording
off the air by pressing PLAY (button 24).
To delete the recording, press DELETE

message titled SAVING RECORDING will
appear on the ORION screen for several
seconds during the save process.
To exit the voice recorder control menu,
press EXIT (button 22).
To play your message while on the air,
momentarily push the appropriate SEND
button and your recording will be
transmitted.
To record a message in a voice mode in
SEND 3: Follow the same instructions as
for SEND 1 or SEND 2. SEND 3's message
can be up to 28.1 seconds in length but
cannot be retained in memory by using the
SAVE button after recording. This memory
will erase after the transceiver is powered
off.
To record a message in CW mode in SEND
1, SEND 2, or SEND 3: Press and hold the
appropriate button for two seconds. A
submenu titled CW MEMORY KEYER
CONTROL will appear at the bottom of the
screen.
There are four options: EXIT, RECORD,
PLAY, and DELETE. The four buttons
below these options (numbers 22 through
25) are used for these functions. Unlike
voice memories, all 3 CW memories are
automatically saved to memory when
recorded and will retain after powering off
the transceiver.
To record a message in CW mode, press
RECORD (button 23) and begin sending
CW. The words EXIT, RECORD, PLAY,
and DELETE will momentarily disappear
and the word STOP will appear above
button 23. When you have completed your
recording press button 23 to end (STOP).
To check your CW memory off the air
without transmitting, press PLAY (button
24). To delete the CW memory, press
DELETE (button 25). To exit the CW
memory keyer control menu, press EXIT
(button 22).
