[TenTec] High Resolution for Orion 2

[Grant Bright]

Hi Rick and List,

I heard a while back there was an upcoming High -Resolution sweep 
coming...I guess this is for the 566. There must be "technical 
problems" with making it work on the 565.

This is good news you are working with Larry to use the LP-PAN. 
The June QST article on SDR receivers shows several versions of 
software that offer various ways to view: spectrum, waterfall, 
etc. The Flex software picture also looks good in the last NCJ.

Thanks for any updates to the process. I think this may be a good 
solution to "see" what is happening on the band. I would like to 
use a 15 or 17" LCD so I can "SEE."

In this graphical computer environment and very poor band 
conditions we find ourselves in these days, "seeing" helps make 
QSOs.

Tnx es 73s,

Grant
