[TenTec] Orion II upgrade

[John]

Steve I think you hit the nail on the head !  I can see and understand the 
hi/lo cut on the ts 940 but not on the Orion II a simple more direct display 
of the audio and agc would be much appreciated . I know the Orion II has the 
better RX  but because I cannot or do not know how to manipulate the knobs 
the Kenwood sounds better .     DUDE
