I look forward to the day when Ten Tec has the talent/desire to create a
better interface. They have the radio fundamental part down pat, but the
interface is a major let down for me after having a Pro III. The fact they
are using a low resolution display doesn't help either.
So basically, I find those little filter boxes useless too. The scope is
next in line !

I'm an Orion 1 owner and still can't figure out what in the hell these
rectangles are. And the manual is totally useless. I suppose I'm to read the
mind of the designer to divine what the rectangles represent.
