Chapter 3 – MENU SYSTEM
ORION is equipped with a series of menus,
each clearly labeled, for various transceiver
settings. Most often used functions are
available on the transceiver front panel via
buttons and knobs. Menus are used for
items for which only an occasional or one-
time adjustment is needed.
To access the MENU system, press the
MENUS button located to the upper right
hand corner of the radio screen.
Figure 3-1 Menu Screen
A menu screen, as shown above in Figure
3-1 will appear.
There are seven selectable menus
accessible after pressing the MENUS
button. To the right side of the screen, there
are seven choices: TX, CW, VOX, RX,
Other, SSB, Filtr. Each of these menus can
be accessed by pressing the corresponding
button next to the right edge of the screen.
In Figure 3-1, a button was pressed to
access the TX menu. The TX annunciator
on the screen is highlighted and the menu
options for TX are shown in text on the
screen.
In each menu, to scroll through the available
choices on the screen, turn the large main
tuning knob ("VFO A") closest to the radio
screen. For each line item, to change the
values, turn the MULTI knob. To exit the
menu system and return to radio operation,
press the MENUS button again.

(TX) TX MENU
The TX menu is used for controls related to
the ORION transmitter. They are described
line-by-line below.
Internal Tuner refers to the optional internal
automatic antenna tuner in ORION. If
installed, the tuner can be enabled or
disabled with this line item. The internal
tuner is operable on the ANT 1 connection
only.
The internal tuner, when enabled, is
actuated by RF. When changing bands, the
tuner has no memory feature and will have
to be re-tuned using the TUNE button. See
description of (40) TUNE in Chapter 2.
Transmitter allows the ORION transmitter
to be disabled. Use MULTI to set to on or
off.
Keying Loop 1 is used to enable the TX
OUT 1 / TX EN 1 QSK keying loop as
described in chapter 2 under (67) TX OUT 1
/ TX EN 1. Note: If the loop is turned on and
no connections are made it will prevent the
ORION from transmitting.
Keying Loop 2 is used to enable the TX
OUT 2 / TX EN 2 QSK keying loop as
described in chapter 2 under (69) TX OUT /
TX EN 2. Note: If the loop is turned on and
no connections are made it will prevent the
ORION from transmitting.
EXT T/R Delay 1 provides "hang time" for a
non-QSK linear amplifier that has been
connected to the AMP KEY 1 jack on the
rear of the ORION. This will prevent the
amp from dropping out between words of a
CW or SSB transmission. Also see the
description of (66) AMP KEY 1 in chapter 2.
EXT T/R Delay 2 provides "hang time" for a
non-QSK linear amplifier that has been
connected to the AMP KEY 2 jack on the
rear of the ORION. This will prevent the
amp from dropping out between words of a
CW or SSB transmission. Also see the
description of (68) AMP KEY 2 in chapter 2.
Transverter enables low level RF output
from the XVRT RF jack on the rear of the
transceiver. When turned on, no RF at
regular power output will be transmitted
