Bob,
My ORION II / version 2.037j does change from software and hardware noise
blanker by holding the button down and so forth. I do not have the 60 cycle
tone in the side tone on 10 meters that you describe. There has always been
some racket in the headphones when keying, but it is better in this version
than in the previous ones... I wonder if you have low voltage or other
power supply issues.

Subject: [TenTec] Orion II 2.037j NB glitch
FWIW
I just noticed that I can no longer switch between software and hardware
noise blankers by holding the NB button. Have to go to RX menu to turn HW
NB on or off.
Also, I have headset only "popping" or "clicking" keying artifacts that I
never had with 2.032 or 2.034 (on all bands). On 10 meters the sidetone is
accompanied by a (near 60 hz) hum that was never there before. No changes
other than firmware. Oh...my spot and side tone volumes are very
different...before they were the same.
I like the agc changes, but (contrary to many on the list) I find the NR no
better and these new glitches are very, very annoying.
Probably ought to go back to .034 and pretend I am happy.
I have forwarded these concerns to ditsnbits.
73, Bob K5SM
