If you have set the V2.062a CW menu to "PTT in CW as ......Mox," (Allows immediate return of the receiver after the last code element) there is a problem that surfaces if you have to do a Master Reset and reload the user settings. After the Master Reset/User Settings Reload, if you try to user the computer based keyer, the transmitter will come on when PTT is activated by the computer and remain in "key down mode" until PTT is released. The only way I have found to fix this bug is to go to the CW menu and change the "PTT" setting off from the "Mox" setting to either "Key" or "None" and then back to "Mox." After that the Orion will key CW normally from the computer.  It looks like the "PTT in CW as .....Mox" setting is not getting picked up when the User settings are loaded, although the menu setting looks correct, and the Orion is defaulting to "PTT in CW as.....Key."
