Bob,

I think the default filter width gets set the first time you set a BW for a particular mode after a reset of the rig. At least that is my observation.

As far as software is concerned...I am a Writelog user too but I have been using N1MM more and more. One reason is N1MM owns an Orion and the program has the best implementation of the Orion of any contesting software I have tried. If there is a problem it gets fixed pronto.

1. My contesting software is Writelog. I ran both Orions set at 250 Hz b/w most of the weekend. Whilst tuning around the bands looking for mults etc I band map wanted stations which don't answer me after a couple of calls. I then periodically return to their band mappped frequency to see if their pile up has subsided. The problem I found is this: Every time I clicked back to a mapped frequency the rx b/w changed. If I had only one Orion then I would probably be thinking this was a logging software problem but I don't, I have two and although the bandwidth changes on both it's not to the same setting. On one radio it always goes to a barn door 1 kHz but on the other it always goes to 300 Hz which isn't so bad. Though, I'd much rather it stayed at 250 Hz where I'd set it.

What determines the b/w set when frequency is changed via the RS232 port?
Why is it 1kHz on one Orion and 300 Hz on the other?  Anyone know the answer
to this mystery?  Should I just RTFM?
