        This is most likely due to the VFO encoder now having higher 
priority with
the CPU to avoid the "digital" tuning sound and delays which 5B4AGN and others
complained about previously:

Bob was a beta tester of the tuning change and is very happy now.  I'm very
surprised more have not commented on how much better the tuning sounds
with 1.369 and feel any degradation in Sweep was worth the tradeoff.

        There are other "priority" issues that still need to be 
addressed.  The most bothersome to me is the effect changing DSP BW has 
during CW transmit.
It causes TX CW to distort and sounds terrible.  If I recall from my MP days,
there were many functions that were simply "locked out" during transmit.  I
suggested to ditsnbits that they also lock out changes to Orion's DSP BW
during transmit.  In the interim, I've learned to not touch that knob while
transmitting...i.e. my own CPU lockout ;-).
