[Orion] Orion CW Settings

[Bill Tippett]

	Someone recently complimented me on
my CW signal and it reminded me of something
that all Orion owners should be aware of.  In the
CW Menu, the CW Rise/Fall settings are very
understated.  They can be varied from 3 ms to
10 ms, but these numbers are actually much
lower, which would cause keyclicks if you set
anything lower than 6 or 7.  I normally set mine
to 10 for <30 WPM and only set it higher when
I am sending faster CW such as in a contest.

	I suggest all set Rise/Fall = 10 if you
want to have an EXTREMELY clean CW signal.
For QRQ, this may be a little too soft but please
do not set it anywhere less than 6 (which is even
marginal IMHO).  Ten-Tec is aware of this
discrepancy but as yet has not modified the
firmware to correct the Rise/Fall settings.

	Your CW neighbors will thank you and
may even give you compliments if you do this!
