[Orion] Raspy Received CW Note on Orion

Just as a follow up to my previous posting and consistent with other 
reports, there is no doubt that turning the Sweep function on does bring 
up the problem.  The received note becomes raspy, the noise level comes 
up and IMD-like spurious signals are very prominent.  It seems that a 
master reset is not necessary to restore normal CW reception.  Turning 
the unit off for an extended period (A couple of hours?  I haven't 
checked for a minimum, but a quick on-off is not sufficient.) does the 
trick. I was beginning to suspect a hardware problem, but the unit has 
been on all weekend now without any problems.  I am using software 
version 1.369

73, Joe.
