[TenTec] Optimum use of Version 2 Orion firmware

I have switched my Orion from version 2.056 back to 1.373b5 because of 
my perception that the older version NR works much better on SSB in 
helping to make weak signals more intelligible.  I would go back to 
2.056 in a flash if someone will show me how to prove I can get 
equivalent results on weak ssb signals.  In many other ways I greatly 
prefer the version 2 firmware.

Aloha,

IMHO, it is doing NR correctly now, as I want it to suppress noise.
My buddy has shown me how to use other parameters to dig out the weak stations that others can't, and his other radios in his station can't, including the SDR-1000, and the $10,000 ICOM. 
Maybe TenTec should make a second NR that does things the way it use to. Then, for those who want both, they would have it.
