Re: [TenTec] NEW Orion II/2.041XL Bug? Red Scan With Vertical LinePatterns

Jim:  That's exactly what I am seeing and what I believe has been described 
by others.  The 'spectrum trace' red (which is a peak-hold trace) is all 
you're supposed to see and is one of the improvements over the previous 
versions.
