Having the wrong COM port selected would certainly prevent the download, but
I have also found that even if the COM port is the right one that the
settings for it might be wrong. I remember reading that the Orion is very
"picky" about the baud rate and that if it's not set to 57,600, 8 N 1, you
can run into problems. This is set in the Device Manager in Windows.
As someone else mentioned on the reflector, a good test is to hook up Ham
Radio Deluxe. If HRD can't talk to the radio, the update program probably
won't either.

Neil,
I had a problem at first. I Checked the Device Manager and could see COM 4
listed next to the Serial Port/USB cable driver and I had the TenTec
setting
set for Com 5. As soon as I changed it, it downloaded the whole thing in
about three - four minutes.
