[TenTec] Help with New Orion II

Good Morning,

I just purchased the Orion II and must have the setting mixed up and
wondered if some of you experienced folks can help me straighten things
out.

This morning I was listening to a JA on 80 cw (3507) who was not moving
the S meter.  Then, a sideband station (yes) came on 2 KHZ above the JA
and I could hear this garbled noise on the Orion masking the JA. I was
using the 600 HZ roofing filter and had the bandwidth set at 500HZ.  The
subreceiver audio and rf gain were both set to zero. I would not think I
would have been able to hear the sideband signal with the 600 Hz roofing
filter and bandwidth at 500 HZ.  By the way, when I listened to the same
thing on my FT1000D, only the JA was audible, not a whisper of the ssb
signal.  

I must have the settings messed up somehow.  Any suggestions?

Thanks!

73,

Bob/AA6VB
