[TenTec] N4PY Orion Control Program Version 1.12 Released

[Joe Giacobello]

Jerome, I've observed this same problem with the O(rion control 
software.  It's sometimes difficult to fine tune a station because one 
tends to overtune or overshoot the signal.  Carl has said that it's 
because of the speed bewteen the radio and the computer serial port.  I 
recently upgraded from a 450 MHz to a 2.2 GHz machine and there was 
little, if any, improvement, suggesting that Carl's assessment is 
probably accurate.

73, Joe
