I agree with Bob. One of the big issues, for me, with the last V2 release for
the Orion was the "distortion" that occurred
with a strong signal on the leading edge of the signal (I know some people
"changed" it with AGC delay - that just caused me more issues in bands with
multiple signals). It seemed that a "delayed AGC" was allowing "overshoot" in
the audio stages. I don't hear any of that on the V2.060b release. Another
significant improvement. Of course, a lot of gain was taken out of the receiver
in the last release - and it is still gone. But V2.060 still looks like a "big"
improvement in the Orion over previous V2 releases - and maybe over V1 -
depending on what performance issues you give the most weight.
