The Update program automatically sets the bit rate. The Orion can't do 4800 bps. It's fixed at 57, 600. So whatever was going on that took 24 hours shouldn't have been happening, and unless your Orio

It helps to read the manual. See page 33. The decay setting ranges in SLOW/MED/FAST AGC positions are restricted to values that make sense for those AGC speeds. Programmable AGC is settable over the

It will be interesting to see how the S/M/F settings work for you. The potential issue you will have with THRESHOLD set in the 20uV range is that there is no AGC action on signals below that level.
