I have had my Orion for about 2 weeks now and have experimented a lot
with settings under different situations. The rig has been doing a
number of turns on me like;
1. Receiver disappearing.
2. Sweep freezing up.
3. NR on/off and adjustment does not respond to operator selection.
4. Hardware NB is not performing at all. When on in menu (and even off
at front panel) it induces distortion or noise of some sort to the
receiver.
I have been able to just switch the Orion on/off to cure point 1, 2 and
3. Point 4 is persistent at all times.
I write it of to software hick up that I am sure Tentec will address at
some point.
On the positive side, I have never had such a nice performing rig - and
my Inrad filters are still in the mail.

I've found 1.372 generally less predictable than 1.371. I've installed
1.372 about three times because I liked the new RF gain control and
improvements in QSK but every time have returned to 1.371 because of:
1) lost audio; 2) AGC not change even though the display had, e.g., AGC
might be on PROG but display shows OFF; 3) NR circuit, like AGC, not
change state even though the display showed that it had; 4) seems
noisier than 1.371.
Hope the next firmware update smooths out these glitches.
