[Orion] Orion - LCW vs. UCW

Greetings from New Mexico,
This past weekend I discovered that when using CT, band AND frequency
changes made by inputting the new frequency in the call-sign area also
cause the Orion to change to the CW mode (UCW/LCW) according to the
conventions used for upper/lower SSB for that band. This is disconcerting
and time consuming. It took some time before I even figured out what was
happening.
I don't know whether this is caused by the programming of the Orion or of
CT--I leave that to others who are smarter than I.
Normally I prefer to work CW using LCW, so I had set my Orion that
way. The tuning "sense" then remains the same no matter which band I am on.
Perhaps this can be changed [either by Ten-Tec or by Ken]. The present
situation negates the advantage of keyboard frequency AND band changes if
the op wants -Either- UCW or LCW all the time.
