[TenTec] Orion Firmware Bug Report

[Kip Glunt]

Thanks Jim!  This explains some of the anomalies I've experienced, doing
some shortwave listening, that didn't make sense to me.  Tuning using 1KHz.
steps and have a stations audio completely disappear in one step when
attempting to find its center frequency!  Tuning range wasn't equal above
and below where you'd expect center to be.  If you understand what I mean
here?

Yes, I hope they fix this!

Hi Gang,
I apologize if this has been reported before, but the tuning step on the
sub-receiver in the AM mode is always 2.5 kHz, even if the step size on the
display indicates less.  In other words, the subreceiver tuning display
(either VFO A or VFO B) for the subreceiver frequency seems normal, but the
actual subreceiver increments in 2.5 kHz steps in the AM mode. In CW and
SSB, it tunes properly.
