[TenTec] Orion II Observations

[Speer, Doug]

I have been enjoying my Orion II for a number of years now and thought I knew the rig well.  I had two observations last night that I have not previously run across but expect have been there all along.  Just looking for any comments from the forum.

The first observation was when I tuned a SSB station and was getting extremely distorted audio from the Main Receiver.  I discovered I had left the Main Receiver roofing filter set at 20Khz from the last use.  Changing the filter to any filter other than the 20Khz filter eliminated the distortion.  Is this normal for the Orion II?

The second observation was when listening with headphones with the Main Receiver in my left ear and the Second Receiver in my right ear.  I was copying a signal on 17m when I saw a spot on 30m I wanted to listen for.  I switched the second receiver to 30m leaving the Main on 17m.  I was still hearing the 17m signal in my left ear but was hearing both 17m and 30m in my right ear.     I confirmed my audio selection as having the Main and Sub assigned to left and right with neither set on Both.  Is this normal audio routing when having the two receivers set on different bands?
