Lee, No you are not missing anything. It is correct that I have paid for the radio and have a resonable expectation of some good firmware. Guess what I am saying is that I would pay for some top-of-
Tom, You explained it well.. OK, now that makes sense and I agree I might also be interested....but remember if you get 3rd party firmware and they go to live at South Beach.. you are stuck right the

Scott Where do we get a copy of the survey? Would like to add some comments to transceiver items that I think should be in the Orion. I have an Orion and a Omni VI. Really enjoy them, but anything co
I think the issue of "paying for upgrades" is an interesting one. I would be happy to pay for firmware upgrades, either on an individual basis - like it / buy it - or on an annual subscription basis.
I have an Orion that I really enjoy using....it was the best radio I had ever owned until I got my Elecraft K3. There have been a bunch of firmware and DSP updates for the K3...sometimes only a week
Merle, One reason... If the radio was doing what it needs to do, correctly.. no firmware upgrade needed. Like in the old days before firmware.. it had to be right in the hardware. Now Mfg's ( lot's o
Interesting Joe. I have sold my K3. I prefer my Orion. _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec
I don't think the concept was to pay for fixes, but to pay for new firmware functions. However, after some period of time, it might be reasonable to charge for ongoing "support" much like many softwa
Joe I could not have said it better. I have announced here and directly to Ten-Tec that, in my opinion, the Orion firmware has some significant problems. Unfortunately I DON'T have the luxury of owni
Rick, Please believe that I am truly not trying to be argumentative here. But I truly wonder what you mean. What "full potential" is the Orion II not reaching? Are there some specific performance par
Fair question Bernie. Yes I am using an Orion (565). I have the luxury to be able to operate BOTH Version 2 and Version 1 firmware. Version 2 has the benefit of a sharper display and a functioning sw
Hi Rick...et al.... I took Scott's message this morning as a positive sign. Improving existing gear before producing new gear. Fingers crossed here. I did, in fact, sell my K3. I like my Orion. _____

Put me down as one Orion owner who would pay a reasonable amount for a maintenance contract that would cover hardware repairs and/or firmware updates. As someone involved in software development, I m
It doesn't pay to think too deeply on that question.. I thought about it and since it said "on" and not "in," I listed the most obvious thing ON the front panel... A large ergonomic tuning knob! :-)
I completed the survey with reasonable ease. Had to back up a couple of times to see what or how I answered a previous question. In reading and looking at the comments about the survey this evening,
The blue and white background stripes really are an improvement. Thanks for listening! DE N6KB _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.c

I don't see it at all. What I see is that someone from Ten-Tec has been quitely reading the discussions we've had since the announcment of the OII on firmware. Now that they are no longer spending al
