[Orion] Orion N4PY CW keying problems

[James C. Garland]

Hi Gang,

I can't see any difference when I switch the Orion keyer between the 
Curtis A and Curtis B keyer modes. With the Curtis B mode, if the 
paddle is released when a dash is sent,  the keyer is supposed to 
follow up with a dot. In other words, if the paddle is released when 
sending the dash with the letter A, the keyer is supposed to follow 
it up with a dot, turning the A into the letter R. In the Curtis A 
mode, the A is completed, and no additional dot is sent. On my Orion 
(v.1.372) there is no difference between the Curtis A and B modes. 
The Orionsalways seems to be in the Curtis A mode.

A second problem: when using the N4PY progam to set the dot and dash 
weights, and the characacter spacing weights,  nothing changes. The 
sliders move, but the Orion doesn't change. Anybody else noticed this??

73,

Jim W8ZR
