[TenTec] Orion and O II Firmware Update?

[waltk8cv4612amos at att.net]

Now let me see, wasn't there some post on that ? Yeah, some guy named Ron 
Castro, lets see what he said ?

The AGC takes some playing with to get the way it sounds best to you. Just 
remember the default Hang setting is 00.00, which sounds DISTORTED. Put at 
least .04 to .12 seconds hang time and it will smooth right out.

There you have it, right from the horses mouth!
