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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Castro" <ronc@sonic.net>

That is the line I assumed Bernie was referring to also, and it still
remains a mystery! I am sitting here trying to change it, and sometimes and
can and then, I can't make it change again.  It looks like it is somehow
associated with the BW setting, but appears to work only intermittently.

Just so everyone is clear where it is, the line is below the filter BW
graphic rectangle and is a one pixel horizontal  line located one pixel
immediately above the upper border of the rectangle enclosing the frequency
calibrations of the sweep box.

Allen,

The way I read Bernie's question, he is asking about the thicker solid
line
that is directly above the spectrum display.   There is a "break" (it
becomes a thin line) in it just between the "0" and the next number (.6,
1.2, 2.5, 5, or 10 - depending on the sweep range) to the left.

I read it this way because Bernie says:  "Immediately above the spectrum
sweep scope is a horizontal line on which the rectangles representing the
bandpasses for the main (left) and sub (right)  receivers rest".   The
rectangles don't "rest" on the the horizontal line(s) above the filter
bandwidth graphic; which you  correctly defined in your response.

Personally, I don't know what the break in the bar represents;
interesting
question,  do you happen to know the answer?

The horizontal line above the filter bandwidth graphic represents the
bandwidth of the roofing filter in use at 9 MHz.  The filter bandwidth
graphically represents the ultimate selectivity implemented by the
BANDWIDTH control in the DSP IF and the (wider) roofing filter gets
selected automatically based on the BW control.  Hope this helps. 73,
