[TenTec] Orion upgrade problem

[Richard Detweiler]

Hello Vince:

Double check all connections,

Use Comm port 1 if possible,  seems to be better there.  Avoid using USB to 
serial adaptors,  they work but are not as reliable.

make sure no other programs are trying to use the comm port.

sometimes have to go into the hardware manager and set the comm port speed 
manually.

I've also seen the error message come up, but shortly after, without 
touching anyting, the firmware starts to load into the Orion.

Another trick is to try using an earlier version of the firmware loader...

Hope this helps.
