Thanks John Henry,
As a relatively new O2 owner (7 weeks or so) I find it reassuring that at least TT are reading the mail. My O2 was delivered with 039A on board and I have been hesitant to upgrade to 041A let alone 042A. These have both it would seem been released as Beta versions and to me that says what it says; there is no point winging about bugs in Betas.. Having said that though, there does seem to be an extraordinarily long lead time between releasing Beta versions and releasing the final versions.

I like many others (I presume) took the gamble on the O2 fully knowing the history and inherent shortcomings. I gambled because I wanted that extraordinary front end. I gave up the bells and whistles on the "others" and I am overjoyed that I did. I am now working stations that in the past could hear me but whom I could not copy. Strong adjacent QRM is also now not nearly so much of a problem. I guess I have found what I was after. Sure would be nice if all the bugs were out of the system and the never ending promises of a new screen board came to fruition; I guess I'll have to be patient. In the mean time I have one hell of a beast on the desk in front of me that eats the rice burners for reception and is not to shabby on Tx.
