Chapter 1 – YOUR NEW ORION II
ORION II – ANOTHER STEP FORWARD
IN TEN-TEC INNOVATION
The Ten-Tec ORION II 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, while adding many non-
performance related features that the active
ham can also appreciate. The features and
performance ORION II brings to ham radio
will enhance HF radio contacts of all sorts,
while opening new possibilities for amateur
radio operation. ORION II offers world-class
reception and transmission 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 II
Examine ORION II for signs of shipping
damage. Should any damage be apparent,
notify the delivering carrier immediately,
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 with your ORION II. Make
sure that you have not overlooked anything.
