[TenTec] the latest from AK7O and Orion

[jack]

Messageafter taking radio and power supply and NEW 9 pin serial cable to Mom's (across the street) i downloaded the latest update for the Orion from RFSquared onto Mom's machine running Win98SE ...Update would not install so i rebooted and tried again ...program again reported NO SERIAL connection...so rebooted and tried Com2 again NO SERIAL connection...tried a few more times after rebooting and either NO SERIAL or the other error window ...

i am now convinced that there is something wrong with my Orion!

  Tnx Jack for the reply.  I do wish you luck.
  I did manage to get my vox wrking reliably.  We can discuss the settings when you are in a position to utilize them.
  GL, I will keep my fingers crossed.

    Hello Crit, i have not succeeded in getting any software to load so that the Orion can operate at all with my computer running WinXP home ...soon as i can (maybe tonite) i will take the radio across the street, download the latest flash software onto Mom's computer (running Win98SE) and see what happens...just bought a new serial cable too in case something there is amiss
    will let you know how the update goes ...jack

      Good Morning Jack.
      Well, are you up an operating, yet?
      I find I am having trouble getting the vox setting right.
      The rig either won't trigger (transmit) or when the computer is done sending, the vox "ticks" and sends less than one second transmissions, but does so for 30 seconds.  When you get yours figured out...let me know what settings you used.  On google search, I read where most folks end up using PTT instead of Vox cuz it is so picky.
      Tnx in advance.
