[Orion] 1.372

[Joe Giacobello]

I thought the selectivity was outstanding during the test.  I was 
hearing weak sigs on 40M right next to S-9+ sigs.

OTOH, the NR consistently raises the noise level.  It's as if the RF 
gain is being increased.  I usually have to turn the RF gain way down 
when using it.  I really don't think it's working right on my rig.  
Anyone else have similar behavior with 1.372?

73, Joe
