So what is the number of the last approved (not Beta version) of the software for the Orion 2? My Orion 2 works OK with the software that the factory installed at purchase time.

Are they trying to make the software work for both the O2 and the other
radio (Jupiter?).  Maybe it works fine for the other one but not the O2?

I would suggest the "other radio" is the Orion 1!  As an owner of one of
those, it's interesting to follow the O2 release.  We have generally been
promised parallel development for the O1 / O2, to the extent the hardware is
in common, but the releases have not been completely synchronous.

I am also disappointed that a product went out the door without adequate
testing.  It could hardly have been what TT wanted.  Usually, we've had at
least 2 steps forward for 1 step back.  This time, maybe not.
