Have all these known issues been reported to TT?
Maybe someone should send it to Jack B. At TT?

Hi Ron,
o these I would add:
. Variable or selectable bandwidth on sweep/waterfall (i.e., not always
2 kHz)
. Variable sensitivity on waterfall display (it's presently controlled
y the RF gain setting)

Now that the dust has settled and most of the blood has dried, I thought
t
ould be good to update the v 2.041XL Fix List on my website. It can be
ound at:

The list below is only about the 2.041XL update for the Orion II. On the
eb link, you'll find the cumulative wish-list as well. Here is a summery
f what I hope TT is working on for the next 'non-beta' release:
1. Red Screen problem. Sweep goes to weird red lines and/or background.
ig signals were initially thought to be problem, but tests of up to 0 dBm
ould not recreate the problem. This seems to happen only rarely but it
s
PITA.
. Spot level is many dB below S-Tone level. They should be about the
ame. They increased the side tone volume, but forgot about the spot
one,
hich adjusted with the same control.
. S-Meter and Sweep do not change while tuning main dial. This bugs me
ore than I thought it would!
. Popping on AF AGC (setting AGC constants very slow mitigates but does
ot eliminate problem)
. Low level on AF AGC relative to RF AGC of 10 to 20 dB
. Reports of "noise crash" on AF AGC when Notch on AN pressed. (Many
eople saw this initially, but it seems to have gone away on its own.go
igure!)
. NR in AF AGC: sounds like it needs more level.
