[TenTec] Which firmware for the Orion?

I am in no doubt that you should use the latest firmware.  This is 
version 1.371 currently.

I am running 1.371 on two Orions and so far I find both to be stable and 
operate well.  If in using the latest version of the firmware you find a 
problem then mention it on the reflector here.  Someone will quickly let 
you know whether what you see is a known problem and whether an earlier 
release displayed the same symptoms or not.

I understand some folks are experiencing on going problems with lock-ups 
when using Orion.  I am very active everyday, when I am at home.  I'm a 
contester, a dxer and a rag-chewer.  I operate CW, SSB and RTTY.  Whilst 
I am aware of elements of Orion functionality and ergonomics which can 
still benefit from improvement, I experience no show stopping hangs or 
crashes of the operating firmware.

You should prepare yourself to have a whole lot of fun learning to use 
your new Orion.  It is an outstanding piece of equipment.
