[TenTec] Orion firmware bugs

[Dick Foster]

Fellow Orion owners:

On the subject of firmware bugs... 

I have had my Orion for about a week now.  Being new it's at the latest firmware release (per "rfsquared").  There have been two anomalies fixed by power on/off resets.

(1)  The sweep display "froze".  This happened twice.

(2)  On CW, after sending each dit and dah there was a hiss which decayed (fades away) in a fraction of a second. 

I sent a report via E-Mail to Gary Barbour and Jack Burchfield at TenTec but haven't heard from them.  

I'm wondering if others have observed this behavior?

I know the firmware fixes will be on a triage basis, that is, the more critical and more frequently reported problems will be worked first.

Very 73,
