Lee,
I think you must have "low expectations" for a "great contest radio?" With the V2 code display being useless in contesting, the QSK not working over 20WPM, the Notch and Auto-notch filters not removing the signals from the AGC bandpass - so those signals still pump the AGC even though they are not audible - and other real problems - it is hard for me to view the V2 Orion (Or Orion II) as a "great contest radio." It is also hard for me to consider these problems "tweaks." I am hopeful that the V2 code will be significantly improved - so it has the functionality and performance of the V1 code, but with improved stability. However, given the fact that TenTec has worked on the Orion firmware for over 2 years to get here, I am really glad I can run the V1 code.
