[TenTec] Orion II Firmware Ver3.033xd

[Toby Pennington]

This version allows the S meter to always register signals even when the 
RF gain is turned down. This is a feature I really liked.  One major bug 
I reported to TT was that in CW mode when you are keying the rig in CW 
mode, and turning the AF gain up or down,   creates loud noise bursts in 
the audio.  The same is true when you are trying to adjust the sidetone 
volume,  as you make the adjustment with the multi knob will create loud 
noise bursts.  To put this in a simpler way,  using the AF gain while 
keying in cw will produce noise bursts in your speaker.   I went to 
2.044A and it worked well for me.  So, I just stayed there.  Ten Tec 
could duplicate the issue,  but I was told fixing it was not a priority 
at that time.
