[Orion] 1.372

[Larry Menzel]

I concur with Barry, and I run my gain no higher than 90.  I see absolutely
no degradation of signal levels, and it helps keep atmospheric and other
noise down, especially on the low bands.

I used my radio for hours over the weekend, and can't say I experienced any
overload on any band.  I was so impressed with the DSP in the Orion,
compared to that of any other I've had (Yaesu 1000D's and MKV, and ProII)

I work quite a bit of topband with my Orion and can't say that I experience
this problem.  Have you tried turning down the RF Gain control?
