[TenTec] bugs in Orion firmware 2.044A

[Steven Kline]

Last night I observed a problem somewhat similar to what Rick is describing.

I noticed that what ever setting the variable BW is reading prior to shutting the radio off is not the same BW setting that is restored if you turn the radio off and then turn it back on.  For example if I was in SSB mode, with BW set to 3000 and then turn the radio off and then back on; after boot-up the BW setting may come up as 2480 or some other number but not 3000 where it was at prior to shut down.  Same occurs in CW mode, and can be replicated.

Maybe related to same problem below.  Can anyone else validate the power on/off sequence and confirm if their BW setting was restored to same value as it was before turning the power off?  

Thanks
