After being a happy user of N4PY's radio control program with my
(now-unused) PROII, I just bought the Orion version. It's very
configurable, and it has six step buttons one can choose from. The defaults
are 1 Hz, 10 Hz, 100 Hz, 1 kHz, 5 kHz, and 10 kHz, but they can each be set
to any number between 1 Hz and 10 kHz. I like it. (And the display is in
color! ;-)

Jerry,
I assume you mean Hz and not KHz. I like the 10 Hz steps combined with the
fast encoder option in the menus. You can always press the MAIN RX or SUB
RX buttons for quick excursions.
Having said that, though, my Icom IC-756PROII does have better tuning rates,
I think, including an option for slower rates in CW and RTTY automatically
and an accelerated rate when spinning the VFO quickly.

I would like to see Ten Tec change the tuning steps on the Orion. 10 khz is
a little slow and 100 khz is to fast for my use. Just wonder if anyone else
would like to see a 50 khz step? Jerry k5qm
