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.
