I upgraded an Orion to v. 1.373b5 to run in our Field Day event this year with
the Redwood Empire DX Assn. and the Marin Amateur Radio Society. You can see
an interesting newspaper article published in yesterday's Marin Independent
Journal with a picture of me operating the Orion at www.N6IE.com!
The rig with the updated firmware was much improved over the previous original
version although I don't recall which one was in it before. Last year, there
were reports of crashing at least once per hour or more. This time, running
all SSB and over 1,000 QSO's, we had only two lock-ups during the course of the
event. I suspect that the newest v. 2.x is better and advised the rig's owner
to do the hardware mod and upgrade.
