Doug,
I have not yet gone to the "new" firmware, just looking at what is said on here. It hasn't been much, so far!! I don't care for the NR on any of the versions I have seen, either with my original Orion or the O2. It just seems to add distortion, with no assistance on noise at all. I never went back further than 1.372 on the Orion, so don't know about the earlier versions. I have had little success with my line noise and the NB either. I get excellent SSB audio reports on the O2, just like I did on the original one, but do have much different settings than what I used to run on the Orion. I do have to run the mic gain high, in the neighborhood of 59 or so, so I will look into the pot under the rig as suggested. Do you think the download is worth the trouble?
73,
Don, WB5HAK
