T-T had a display fast enough to be really useful as an operating aid. It
was the waterfall display in 2.041XT. Yes, it looked kinda washed out on
SSB, but I'm mainly a CW op and it was a real help. It was about twice as
fast as the spectrum sweep display in 2.044A. John Henry said that they're
working on a new version, which I'm eagerly awaiting. Meanwhile, the
sweep display in 2.044A is definitely an improvement over 2.039d.
I don't think we need an Orion III, just more work on the O II firmware.
Keep up the good work, John. It's helping.

I will acknowledge that the sweep is slow . I think the sweep should
