[TenTec] big Orion problem

[Grant Youngman]

It's interesting that there appear to be certain radios that are having 
problems with F/W upgrades in general and with the latest one in 
particular.  Must be something common somewhere -- hopefully T-T 
can isolate the  reason if/when they get one of the troublesome 
ones back for service.
