I had the same problem, others have mentioned it also. I finally had to buy
a cheap USB to serial converter and use it. I suspect that something in the
latest indows version doesn't like the older serial card I was using. I
think some folks think it may be a Windows XP or Vista problem. But also be
sure you have your serial port set to 57600 bps, no parity, hardware flow
control. You do this in the Windows Device Manager, under COM and LPT
ports.

Subject: [TenTec] FW Update Problem w/O2
I have just been trying to install FW 2.041XL and have major problems.
After starting the update, I first get an error message indicating that
there's no communication with the radio. If I repeat the update one or
two more times, I finally get a message on the Orion screen that says
"Erase Flash" which then switches to "Program Flash 1." The number in
that message continuously increments every 10 seconds or so, but nothing
else happens. I can stop the numbers from incrementing by just shutting
down the update software. So there must be some communication between
the software and the O2.
I've tried both master resets and RAM clears w/o any effect, and I also
re-downloaded the FW file. I can't even re-install the original FW.
Never had problems updating the original Orion.
Anyone seen anything similar or have any thoughts on what might be going on?
73, Joe
