Tried this on the Orion 1 (2.059d). I get a big "<" sign on screen, but the radio kinda continues to work. After a while, I realized that the audio gain controls are frozen!

Fiddling with other controls (like menu button) seems to clear it.

So maybe 2.059d really does share code with the O II versions...

I've had the SubRx audio stuck in "mute" several times, requiring a master reset. That, along with the audio level issues others are reporting.

The code has improved, no doubt, but there are still some rough edges. Maybe we could ask for a dual boot capability? Choose between "stable" and "bleeding edge" firmware versions at power on time!

I am having trouble with my display on my Orion II. Try the following and see if this happens to you:

1.)  Push the VFOB ENTER BUTTON
2.)  Push the 0 digit
3.)  Push the VFOB ENTER BUTTON


My display corrupts and the only way to fix it is to turn the rig off and then back on.

I found this by accident when I pressed the VFOB ENTER BUTTON and then the 0 digit by mistake and wanted to start over again. Please let me know if this happens on anyone else's Orion II.
