I have adjusted the "Wish List" for the Orion II to reflect the newest version of the firmware. It's at www.N6IE.com

With this one I can set the side-tone level all the way
up to 65 before the pops begin, and by the time one
gets past 80 on towards 99 the distortion on the
side-tone is still really bad -- BUT -- for me at
least, levels are 50-60 are all I need and that is
now distortion free, at least with a 610 Hz sidetone
which is the only one I tested or use.  I also am
using the speaker and not headphones for this.
Since one gets the side-tone every time the SPOT
button is used, the side-tone distortion was really
objectionable with 2.043B.

The NR seems better too, but most all the time I don't
really need it -- and it's nice not to have artifacts that
sound like NR action on the side-tone which the side-tone
is set to 50-60.

There are a few CAT wierdnesses here and there, but the reliability
of sending a strings of "*" commands seems better.

Unless something else crops up, I think I can live with this
release...
