[TenTec] Re: [Orion] Programmable AGC Problem

[ac5e at comcast.net]

The programmable AGC works fine on the latest version of the firmware. However, a couple of times in the past I have had glitches on download that caused loading hangups or other problems. 

When that happens I reload the previous version and check to make sure nothing has happened in the rig. Then I delete the latest upgrade, download it again, and reinstall. So far, keeping my fingers crossed, the second time's been a charm.
