Re: [TenTec] Orions SO2R in CQ WW RTTY

Bob,

I think the default filter width gets set the first time you set a BW 
for a particular mode after a reset of the rig.  At least that is my 
observation.

As far as software is concerned...I am a Writelog user too but I have 
been using N1MM more and more.  One reason is N1MM owns an Orion and the 
program has the best implementation of the Orion of any contesting 
software I have tried.  If there is a problem it gets fixed pronto.

73,
