Naw..there is no incentives one gets from doing beta testing. You
just do it because you wanna try to help out. BTW, anyone with an
Orion can ask to become a firmware beta tester...just apply through
ditsnbits. Does require some extra work, but in the long run should
be worthwhile for everyone.

Tommy,
I've always felt like a beta tester, even with the released
firmware!
You would have to be braver or bolder than I to be an actual beta
tester. Or did they give you a price break? ;-)
OK. I guess the question for this list is does anybody see ANY
good
reason for the Aux Out to be treated in this complicated way? A
bunch
of us seem to think that a straight, no questions asked line
output is
what we want. We can all mail to ditsnbits, but it would be good
to
understand the other point of view -- if there is one!

Hi Martin,
This is strange. Just checked mine again. Put the audio menu Left
=
Sub and can vary the left aux output by using the SubRx AF
control.
Put Left = MAIN or BOTH and vary the MAIN AF output and the left
aux
output stays constant. With Left = MAIN or BOTH, changing SubRX
AF
has no affect on pin 3 of the AUX I/O!!
Running 1.373 beta 5 so don't know if this is a new thing or not.
But regardless, since its called 'line' audio output, AUX I/O pin
4
and pin 6 audio output level actually should be completely
independant of what you do with the AF controls for either
receiver.
It just does not work that way however!
