Ron I think your original Orion WILL work with version 2.xxx firmware
WITHOUT the Version 2.xxx mod. The sweep may not work and the display
likely will not be as sharp. BUT it will work and it is VERY stable.
So you have more options!

Subject: [TenTec] Best Orion version for Field Day

Our club, the Redwood Empire DX Association, is getting the use of an
original
Orion for Field day this year. Last year this same unit that had an early
firmware version had crashing problems. The unit has not had the hardware
mod,
so we will need to use a 1.x version. I want to ask the O1 owners, which of
the various 1.x versions are stable and most useful in a Field Day-type
contest?
I believe it will be used for both phone and CW.
