"07/01/04 Version 1.372beta (not yet released) - Massive rework of the Voice Playback System to eliminate lock-ups and crashes." I suppose it's about time to start checking all SSB functions in preparation for our annual foray into the CQ WW SSB. After last year's contest, I suggested 2 changes which were implemented in the November release: 1. The delay was greatly reduced when pressing SEND X. The previous version had about a 1/2 second delay which was maddening slow. 2. You can HALT sending any message by pressing the same button again. This is handy for those cases when you've just called a CQ, and then someone responds just as you press SEND again. The previous version made you wait until the complete stored sequence was finished. Some folks sure seem trigger-happy to return their Orion for problems that are being addressed. I'm not sure anyone has commented but a hearty congrats to Scott W4PA for winning SOABHP for USA in both the CQ WW CW and ARRL DX CW Contests (including setting the all-time USA record for the latter). Sure a shame nobody is winning any contests with this awful rig. I suppose it must be due to the lack of a color display, 100 wpm QSK and perfect firmware. 73, Bill W4ZV
