Just a few comments:
1. I only use 3900hz tx BW when I'm on AM. It might be worth
checking whether you are actually gaining any tx fidelity in SSB by
increasing from 3.0 to 3.9Khz on the Orion.
2. TX EQ 0 DB sounds VERY bassy to me, but perhaps it depends on the
mic. I keep TX EQ between -10 and -15dB
I agree on turning off SP. If you do run SP on the Orion, it's
important to minimize the bass content of the audio going into the
processor. The processor won't work correctly if there's too much low
freq content - you can hear it in the monitor.

Hi,
I'm still playing around with Orion II settings for the 707 Regal
microphone, using v3.029 firmware. My best for SSB so far are:
MIC 55
H/W MIC GAIN 14 dB
SP 2
L.F. ROLLOFF 200 Hz
TX FILTER BW 3900 Hz
TX EQ 0 dB
If conditions permit, turn off the SP entirely. It will sound even
better.
Does anyone have a better idea?
