Ray,
He is talking about the nice feature (which was removed in 2.044a) that
freezes the sweep dsplay when you tune so that you can pounce right on
the signal your after..I LOVED IT...NOW IT IS GONE :-(

Subject: Re: [TenTec] Orion II sweep display?
Tim,
I don't know what you mean by "freezes," but when I turn the VFO knob
the
display doesn't move for about one second. That's enough for me to
tune
close to the desired signal, if not right on it. And, yes, the
display
width is selectable (in v2.044A). I usually keep it at 36 kHz, which
I find
useful on CW. As for the high speed sweep board, the most recent word
from
John was that it's still in the design stage.

I really like the way the sweep display works now in that when you
turn
the VFO the display freezes and you can tune to a signal of choice on
the screen. It's not as elaborate as some implementations of an
internal
scope but I find it to be very useful.
My question is does the firmware on the Orion II offer the same
or similar capability? Does it have any other sweep display features
in
addition to those of the Orion I? I would like to have the ability to
pick a display width as in the past.
Any word on the promised "High Speed Display" that was talked
about in years past??
I find I am really enjoying the Orion and am thinking seriously
of getting an Orion II and either trading this original Orion towards
one or selling it to buy one. I had forgotten how really nice the CW
operation (QSK in particular) works on the Orion.
