[TenTec] ORION II CW pile up readability

[Scott Harwood]

Amen!  This is one of my few gripes about the Orion II.  I do a lot of weak signal 80 meter work and going from the RF gain to NB, AN, etc. by way of the buttons and then back to a button so I can “ride” the RF gain control is a pain in the neck.  A way to re-program the “basically redundant and useless Hi Cut/ Lo Cut knob” to a RF gain control (or a mod to add a RF gain control) would be great!

Maybe Ten-Tec is listening.
