Hi All,

I have been watching this latest Orion firmware situation develop today.

Just after this latest version was released last night, I began to reconsider an Orion II for my shack hopeful that many of the long-standing issues were finally being addressed.

But after reading this thread throughout the day today, IMO TT no longer deserves the loyalty that many of you Orion owners have patiently given. I have never owned any Orion but I now have a an Omni VII, itself a very good and pleasant radio that still needs refinement via software enhancement, most of which is well known and discussed on all the forums. TT has alluded to many of these improvements as being soon to be forthcoming for several years now at Dayton.

But NOTHING happens month in and month out, year in and year out to significantly fix or enhance.

I had expressed to TT management in February my congratulations on the hiring back of John Henry. But now I fear that their problems are much deeper.

What is going on?

This is all HORRIBLE advertising for them.
