[TenTec] Orion II and 2.031 NR

[Don and Diana Cunningham]

Doug,
I have not yet gone to the "new" firmware, just looking at what is said on 
here.  It hasn't been much, so far!!  I don't care for the NR on any of the 
versions I have seen, either with my original Orion or the O2.  It just 
seems to add distortion, with no assistance on noise at all.  I never went 
back further than 1.372 on the Orion, so don't know about the earlier 
versions.  I have had little success with my line noise and the NB either. 
I get excellent SSB audio reports on the O2, just like I did on the original 
one, but do have much different settings than what I used to run on the 
Orion.  I do have to run the mic gain high, in the neighborhood of 59 or so, 
so I will look into the pot under the rig as suggested.  Do you think the 
download is worth the trouble?
73,
