Thanks for you help. The installation of 2.062a went without a hitch. Not
sure how different it is from 2.060, but will have fun checking it out.
Thanks again Joe

Just a few questions about downloading and installing new firmware in my
Orion . The manual does not seem to give you any steps other than
attaching the serial cable between the computer and radio.
I have downloaded version 2.062a to my hard drive. I now have 2.060b
installed in the Orion. It was done at Ten Tec. They also made the
version 2 hardware changes.
Questions:
Do you have the radio on or off during the firmware installation? If on
do you have it set to any particular Frequency or mode? How long should
this procedure take? Are there any other steps that I am missing?
I know this seems like simple questions, but I would like to have some
idea of what I am doing before I start. Hi Hi..
Art, to update the firmware, you should start your Orion I by pressing
the User 2 key and turning the power on, keeping the User 2 key pressed
until you see Flash Update Mode on the Orion's screen. Then start the
upload from your computer to the radio. Ten-Tec presents this
information in the README file on the site. Good luck -- I'm quite
happy with 2.062a, I hope you will be!
