Well, when confronted with 100 turns per scan of 20 m SSB band,
I quickly recognised the value of reducing that number to only 40,
even if that must be payed by using 25 Hz resolution instead of
more pleasing 10 Hz.

Of course I didn't want to force anybody to accept my reasoning,
just wanted a choice that could give hope for my index to survive
a typical contest S&P activity :-)

I'd still say that by offering a better set of steps Orion
could be made to serve more user better, with MULTI button
standardizing the interface, all at a reasonable price.
