Here are a list of problems I found right off with the v. 2.042A, even after doing a battery reset and two master resets and memory clear: 1.. Very noticeable distortion on all audio. Sounds like ove
Addendum to my post: on problem #1, I'm referring to the RX audio. TX audio (other than more drive needed and processor problem) still sounds broadcast quality. Ron N6IE www.N6IE.com ________________
Ron, Looks like someone forgot to install this on a radio and see if it worked. I agree with you not even close to Prime Time Gene WB9HLA _______________________________________________ TenTec mailin
I keep hoping that it's something simple like a hiccup while I was flashing the new firmware, so I'm interested if anyone else finds the same things I'm finding in the behavior. Ron N6IE www.N6IE.com
I've also found the same things that Ron has found. I haven't verified audio quality in SSB yet, though I have briefly tested in SSB. I found that the H/W mic gain needed to be increased by 3 to 6 dB
On SSB, I have not noticed any audio distortion using RF AGC. However, using AF AGC, I note some audio distortion. I like a slow AGC for 'fone work; in addition to the other problems with the AF AGC,
I think that "bug report" e-mail address went away long ago. Try service@tentec.com. That will probably go to someone who will actually read it and respond! BTW...I have updated my "Wish List" with w
Ron and others, Many thanks for your fine work. After playing with 2.042A overnight, I've re-installed 2.041XT and will await T-T's next try. 73 Ray W2RS In a message dated 4/14/2010 2:45:00 A.M. GMT
I'm glad we're only test piloting software and not airplanes, or I'd be a goner for sure! Ron Castro Chief Technical Officer Results Radio, LLC N6IE www.N6IE.com _____________________________________
It sounds like TenTec has someone "new" working with the software and who doesn't have a firm grasp of what is going on. It is definitely hard to understand why they released something with so many d
Wes, I agree that something new needs to be done. My loading of the latest firmware decreased my RF output, introduced distortion on RX signal, did away with the ALC enunciator on the front panel, an
They probably should have released this as a beta first. In fact, I wish TT would return to the days when they had volunteer beta testers in the field to give them valuable feed-back. Ron N6IE www.N6
The ALC light problem is a result of needing much more audio than before. The serial port problem is something I didn't test for yesterday, but I heard from a couple of users off-list about it. To be

I think a bunch of us should call Jack Burchfield at TT and ask him what's going on with his company. This is at the least embarassing for them! You need a real hotshot micro-code programmer to work

Hi All, I have been watching this latest Orion firmware situation develop today. Just after this latest version was released last night, I began to reconsider an Orion II for my shack hopeful that ma
I've done the same, one large sig and my S-meter needle locked hard over and had to switch off to recover. I've gone back to 2.039 to get the marks on top of the screen sweep. It looks a better radio
Now there's a thought! Imagine being the pilot of one of those ugly F117's and the computers lock up. Answer from the Help Desk, "Oh just reboot!" Those things are so dumb without the computers, they
Even funnier if the help desk was in India! Ron N6IE www.N6IE.com _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinf
OK....Now I'm wandering..if this version was put out by mistake??? 'a' suffix usually means alpha version...which is before beta and is usually experimental and not for general testing and use. 'b' s
