I have been using v2.062a. It isn't perfect, but works well enough for me so
that I haven't bothered to go back to any earlier version.
What would I like in a new firmware version?
1. Improved NR operation
2. Improved band stacking register performance (per Sinisa's comments re
"preserving full filter state")
3. Numerous issues with sub-receiver, as mentioned by several people.
One odd problem I have occasionally had is that when switching to "split"
mode the sub-rx simply doesn't work. I hear band noise but no signals even
though I can tune up and down the band. Switching the radio off and then
back on cures the problem. I have not done any trouble-shooting to see if
the problem is related to certain other control settings because I don't
encounter it very often. Compared to other sub-rx problems, this one is
minor.
Despite all comments I consider the Orion to be a great radio. I can hear
and work stations that I would have never heard with prior radios. A "used"
Orion continues to be one of the greatest bargains in ham radio.
