Jack, I  visited the rfsquared website this morning, and it lists the
most recent  firmware updates as of 3/10, not 4/1. The current versions
listed are  v2.032 for the Orion II, and v2.056 for the Orion (565-V2). I
did note that  firmware v1.372 is listed for the Orion as well (565),
which I don't recall  having seen before along with 2.056.  Did you
download a different  version?

just posted on the firmware  site, as of 1 April, new upgrades for both 
Orion Classic and Orion  2.
this is what I have found so far:
A udio seems to be as robust as the  audio in orion classic version
1.371. P rocessor works fine all the way to  level 10. R oger beep
function now available in the ssb menu. I ncreased  intelligibilty factor
on nr. L ove the new ten tec logo when powering  up.

F ound several new features, still checking them out.
O n the  orion 2, the user now has more color schemes for front panel. O
n the  classic, the black and white display is blacker and whiter. L ooks
like all  issues have been cleaned up to me.

i also heard the following rumors on  the bands tonight. several hams
were 
talking about it, so it must be  true.
on the kenwood net, they said that the fcc is going to eliminate  testing

requirements for all phone licenses, while raising the testing  speed for
cw 
back to 5,13, and 20wpm.
some guys on 3.930 said they  heard on radio free america that the arrl
had 
finally responded to the  criticism of their proposal for incentive 
licensing in the 1960's. as a  result, the league was working on a first 
draft of an apology which will  be issued to all former members who were 
general or conditional class  licensees at that time.
i also heard on 75 meters that both yaesu and icom  were going to file
for 
bankruptcy.
