I have seen this too.  When rotating the BW control it almost sounds like
the effect of rotating a volume control with a bad spot in it.  Get past the
"spot" and all is ok.  Go back in the other direction and hear the audio go
dead--past it and all is ok.  This was occasionally the case and not
reproducible, and I don't know if it occurred at the roofing filter switch
points.  It was not present with the earlier firmware version.  But I can
work around it, and on balance I still think this version is a nice
improvement.

Does anyone know whether the programmers are getting near the maximum
allowable lines of code?

I don't know if this is the same thing, but yesterday, after performing
the update, I was changing the receive bandwidth and the audio went
completely away at one step. I think that that step might have been
where the roofing filter (my Orion has all the optional filters - and
the TT versions of them). It seemed like the Orion switched out one
roofing filter and failed to switch in its replacement. I moved the BW
control back to the previous step and the audio came back. Then I moved
the BW forward to the step that had caused the failure and everything
seemed okay. I went back and forth over those steps a few more times and
couldn't reproduce the problem.
