I am in no doubt that you should use the latest firmware. This is
version 1.371 currently.
I am running 1.371 on two Orions and so far I find both to be stable and
operate well. If in using the latest version of the firmware you find a
problem then mention it on the reflector here. Someone will quickly let
you know whether what you see is a known problem and whether an earlier
release displayed the same symptoms or not.
I understand some folks are experiencing on going problems with lock-ups
when using Orion. I am very active everyday, when I am at home. I'm a
contester, a dxer and a rag-chewer. I operate CW, SSB and RTTY. Whilst
I am aware of elements of Orion functionality and ergonomics which can
still benefit from improvement, I experience no show stopping hangs or
crashes of the operating firmware.
You should prepare yourself to have a whole lot of fun learning to use
your new Orion. It is an outstanding piece of equipment.

My reason for asking is I bought my Orion today.
