[TenTec] New firmware for the Orion...

[Bill Tippett]

<Sure a shame nobody is winning any contests with this
awful rig.  I suppose
it must be due to the lack of a color display, 100 wpm
QSK and perfect
firmware.

         Thanks Lee.  I suppose I should have added that P3A
(aka 5B4AGN) suffered terribly in the RTTY  contest because
Orion's 250 Hz shape factor is so poor.  Bob's score is only
76% ahead of his closest competitor so far.  Tsk-tsk.

         Life is tough all over these days.  Think I'll just go
pout until Yuri's Dream-On Computeradio comes out.  ;-)
