Hi Rick. I am also running latest V3 firmware;. Everything from my
perspective is running perfectly and all of John Henry's V3.x work
made my rig seem like I just swapped a new rig on my desk. Lov'in
the SAF feature. With the heavy QRM on the TEN-TEC net today, the
filters in the Orion and the SAF feature with judicious control of RF
Gain all combined to allow pleasant NET participation from up here in
the Northwest.
I think Ray may be referring to some issues he or someone else is
having that John Henry apparently indicated he would put into another
revision someday. Even if the issue is simple, it does not happen
without a lot of time put in to make sure the result(s) do not come
at the expense of some other function. Given the amount of work to
do on other projects, unfortunately even the simple tasks sometimes
get pushed back.

Ray I'm not sure by what you mean by "long-promised". The last
updates were a completely new firmware version 3.xxx. This
firmware solved many problems and brought in many new features.
The latest version for the 565/566 is April 10, 2012.
Many 565 owners were using Version 1.xxx firmware prior to this
release. So 5 months without a firmware update is nothing! I have
switched to 3.032 with my Orion 565 and love it!
Is the latest version perfect. The simple answer is "no" and by
definition firmware can always be tweaked or improved. But I am
certain that Beta work is being done and it will be improved. Hang
in there!
