[Orion] More ramblings about 2.059d firmware

Set the AGC slope to 2:10 and played for a while.  The Spot volume  
didn't seem excessively loud as it did when I first tried it.  I  
listened on SSB today and the NR does seem to improve things  
considerably.

On CW, though, I am disappointed.  I did some A/B switching with an  
Omni VI+ and the latter often sounded much cleaner on weak signals.   
The v2.059d NR is unusable to me as it causes so much distortion.  At  
higher settings, it wipes out weak and moderate signals altogether.   
I could not find an occasion where it improved copy regardless of  
settings (AGC slope, Hang, Decay, NR, RFgain).  Definitely increased  
fatigue.
