[Orion] Comments from an ORION user

[G.C.]

Hi friends,

here few comments after the first trial period with the TT Orion.
My first comment is: I like the gear "but.....", always we have comments an I would like to see my gear improved, if it could be possible.
I know many other ham wrote their suggestions.

- The S meter and power analog indication are approximate and without the damping action to protect from the needle knock.
  So TT should make some action to solve definitively the defect.
- The second receiver bar graph S meter is totally useless and by removing this indication TT could have a free area useful to re-arrange better 
   the screen.
- I would like to know your opinion about the filter (PBT and BW) graphic presentation. At the present is totally useless, inaccurate and ugly.
  So why TT should occupy portion of the screen for a bad indication?
  TT could study a different graphic solution and perhaps we could have a more readable presentation.
- Sweep display below 72 KHz is completely useless. I would suggest to have few settings: one for +/- 18 KHz and the second for +/- 36 KHz.
  TT should try to get a better solution. Otherwise remove it.
- When the sweep is OFF the same screen area could be useful to show the UTC and Local time, isn't it? As an option, obviously.
- As we need to calibrate the internal 500 and 250 Hz filter could it be possible to generate an internal signal for this and other purpose too?

Do you think It could be possible to introduce these and other possible changes in a future firmware release?
Could we reach an agreement about the possible changes?
Please let me know your comments with positive and constructive suggestion.
I hope also the TT company would take in account and record our comments.

Thanks.
