[TenTec] New Orion I v2 Firmware version: 2.062a

[K4IA at aol.com]

On my radio, the raspy CW is particularly bad with Fast AGC and  narrow 
bandwidths (<1khz).  It is starting to sound like the DSP in an  ICOM 756Prox.    
There is a definite "thump" at the end.
 
NR works better at quieting noise but the CW signal sounds awful when the  NR 
is on.  The signal sounds more like a "whoosh" than a musical note even  at 
NR settings of 1 or 2.
 
Sidetone audio is tinny.  Sounds like a set of old headphones I had  with a 
metal diaphragm.  Very fatiguing to listen to.  
 
Audio drive from the microphone is low.
