I don't get it - if the bandscope freezes, how do you know how far to 
tune?
Is there an annunciator for the VFO setting that tracks your tuning?

Sounds good to me.  Bring it back, along with the waterfall!

Ray,
He is talking about the nice feature (which was removed in  2.044a) 
that
freezes the sweep dsplay when you tune so that you can pounce  right on
the signal your after..I LOVED IT...NOW IT IS GONE  :-(

Tim,

I don't know what you mean by "freezes," but  when I turn the VFO knob
the
display doesn't move for about one  second.  That's enough for me  to
tune
close to the desired  signal, if not right on it.  And, yes, the
display
width is  selectable (in v2.044A).  I usually keep it at 36 kHz,  which
I  find
useful on CW.  As for the high speed sweep board, the most   recent 
word
from
John was that it's still in the design  stage.

I recently bought a used  Orion I after not having an Orion for
many  years and an quite pleased  with the latest firmware and 
operation.
I really  like the way the  sweep display works now  in that when you
turn
the  VFO the  display freezes and you can tune to a signal of choice on
the  screen.  It's not as elaborate as some implementations of an
internal
scope  but I find it to be very useful.

My  question is does the  firmware on the Orion II offer the same
or  similar capability?  Does  it have any other sweep display features 

in
addition to those of the Orion  I?  I would like to have  the ability to
pick a display width as in the  past.

Any word  on the promised "High Speed Display" that  was talked
about in years  past??

I find I am really  enjoying the Orion and am thinking  seriously
of getting an Orion II and  either trading this original  Orion towards
one or selling it to buy one. I  had forgotten how  really nice the CW
operation (QSK in particular) works on  the  Orion.
