[TenTec] Re: Orion: going back zu 1.371, read why

[Gary Tuck]

Thank you all for responding and either sending or offering 1.371.  
Gary from ditsnbits sent me a copy almost immediately as well and asked 
for feedback.

Many of the bugs that 1.372 fixed I hadn't noticed or they hadn't raise 
their ugly heads in my style of operating.  I'm on CW 99% of the 
time--not that I'm good, just enjoy it thoroughly.  Anyway, what I 
immediately noticed was the lack of lag under 1.371 that I was 
experiencing in 1.372 in the operation of the Cut, NR and AF controls.  
Secondly, operation of the AF and Cut controls were smoother without 
the pops and little glitches.  I've had the receiver freeze on me in 
both versions and transmit keying loop issues on both--so I didn't lose 
anything here.  Think I'm happier under the older version until 1.373 
comes out with these little things fixed--and I hope bigger things like 
loss of receive and transmit.  I've stopped using Sweep since I've read 
some associate receive loss with operating CW split with Sweep.  I do 
miss the much improved RF gain operation though.
