[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.		

73,
Charles - N5UL
