Re: [TenTec] Orion II - 2.041 XL is Posted

["Ron Castro" <ronc@sonic.net>]

Ray:  I noticed a number of improvements that may have simply come from 
cleaning up some of the code so that everything runs better.  DSP version is 
now at 2.08b80...I can't remember what the old one was.
The waterfall may not be that big of an attraction, but the regular 
"spectrum analyzer" display is larger, seems less 'vertically compressed' 
and more useful.
The NR (RF AGC) is quite a bit improved over the old version and does a 
better job of quieting background noise on weak signals, both phone and CW. 
I haven't tested it yet, but the QSK sounds faster and cleaner.
I haven't tried the "Mic/Pwr Setting Per Band", but if it does what I think, 
I should be able to have the rig automatically set the power for 100 Watts 
on 30 meters and 40-45 on the other bands where I use a linear.
Another thing I found in early testing is that the AM carrier is now more 
stable than ever.  Changing audio levels doesn't push the carrier up and 
down like it used to.
All-in-all, I think the update is well worthwhile!
