[TenTec] NEW Orion II/2.041XL Bug?

[Dave G3RXP]

Dear Orion 2 users.
Ive had the new s/w installed for a couple of weeks, and generally I really 
like most of the changes.  I don't get any problems with the display however 
I am running colour  3 (English spelling) in the LCD menu options which 
doesn't have any Red in it so I wonder if  all the other guys are running 
Colour 1?
I like the improvement in the CW side tone -before it was pretty bad at 
times and even sounded like a slugish bug key.

I am not able to completely turn off the 2nd receiver by turning down the 
A/F gain (R/F gain High and 7Mhz at night) I can still hear stations.So I 
have to turn down the R/F as well.

At one time I was pressing buttons to go split and the 2nd receiver stuck on 
7.016Mhz. Rotating the 2nd VFO knob changed the Freq display but didn't 
change the receive Audio that was still on 7.016. I had to switch the rig 
OFF/ON and it started to work OK. I did have this on the old S/W so may be I 
caused the problem - getting old.

I like the Blue flying widget but it would be nice to see a graticule i.e 
vert bars as a measure of off freq. If its out of the band I dont want to 
QSY    hi...

I mostly operate CW so Im sure Ive missed a lotta of other good features. As 
a CW rig its great, however diode switching instead of a reed relay would 
have been the bees knees.
