[TenTec] Orion tuning rates

[ac5e at comcast.net]

I am another of those who prefer the 10 Hz tuning step size with the 100 Hz "Xm" option when I need to get somewhere more hurridly. 

While the discrete tuning steps are not as smooth as my old SX96, 100, 101, etc., and several of the import brands,  I much prefer nice sharp tuning steps instead of the sort of "fuzzy logic" tuning step that gives you no indication that much of anything happened. Especially one rig that would sort of lazily drift up over a few seconds to somewhere in the neighborhood of the indicated frequency. Maddening - and needless to say it didn't stay in my shack as many days as the Orion has months. 

73 and happy holidays, best DX, and great contest scores to all from
