[TenTec] v2.0 firmware...

[Don and Diana Cunningham]

I just bought a demo Orion from them last week, and sure would have been 
nice to know that this CPU/DSP board needed to be upgraded (or has been 
already) to accept version 2.0 software!!  I emailed to ask about this, but 
no reply as yet.  I may call, as my "30 day trial" isn't over yet, hi.  I 
hate to have to ship it in, as the UPS gorillas punched a sizeable hole in 
the box in it's first voyage.  I was just very lucky that Ten Tec builds a 
"false bottom" in their boxes and that one thing saved my Orion!  By the 
way, I LOVE the Orion, and Stan Brock and I felt that my operating style 
wouldn't benefit from the extra features of the Orion II.  I run 
predominately RTTY on the upper bands, and some 160m casual SSB.  Hoping to 
get my CW skills back up to par, but that's after I learn the cockpit of the 
Orion, hi.  Any digital tips from you experts is appreciated!!  Running AFSK 
with a Hal ST-6000, and loving it!
