I agree with your post Harry.  I also would like to return as well, but 
my Orion came with 1.371 and they've taken it off the server it 
appears. So, I've written ditsnbits to see where they have it 
available.  I also operate CW almost exclusively.

I've lost my main receiver twice and sub receiver once in the last two 
days.  The keying loop issue remains so occasionally I lose my ability 
to transmit as well.  I don't believe the NR works as well and I've 
little pops when I turn the AF control.  They got the keyer Mode 
backwards--if you choose Mode A and restart, the menu will read mode A 
but it actually is mode B like it was in 1.371 and before.  The same 
squeezing in Mode B which gives you a "C" will return a "K" in mode A.

good luck, Gary  W7TEA
