Gee Ron, now I feel like I have low expectations for the Orion. After having it
for 2.5 years, I just want firmware for the Orion that has the functionality of
the Orion V1.373B5 (Notch filters that really remove the signal so the AGC
doesn't pump from the unwanted signal; speech processing that is really
effective; monitor audio that isn't distorted; etc - see two years of reflector
comments on the Orion issues.) with the stability of my FT1000MP. However,
with the Omni7 coming out, I suspect that the very limited TenTec software
resources have been and will be focused on the Omni 7. I have a little hope
that the ARRL review of the Orion II may get us one more try at fixing the V2
Orion firmware in the next month or two - but that is just hope.
Given the redesign of the Orion radio functions between the V1 firmware and the
V2 firmware, I would be concerned that "Orion Word-Processing software" might
work in English on this release but only in "Sanskrit" in the next
release.......
