[TenTec] Orion and UPDATE mode.

[CATFISHTWO@aol.com]

After owning my Orion for a bit more than a month, I find that most of my  
orion problems are caused by me, but I still enjoy it. I and learning some  
interesting techniques playing with it. I am amazed at the number of folks who  
give me unsolicited  comments about how good it sounds!!
 
I am running the menus/ssb/ tx filter bw at 3600, lf rolloff at 100 the mic  
at 33, sp at 4 and the audio.tx eq at    -13 , as per the  reccommendation of 
a couple of the fellows on 3840.  I leave my monitor on  most of the time and 
I think I sound pretty good too even if I say so my  self.
 
Some of the tricks with different combinations of the agc, BW/PWT, hi and  
low cuts and the NR are amazing. I am actually hear some stuff other folks can't 
 and I am impressed.  the more I play with this the more I like it.  
 
I am known to buy a rig and decide to sell it in a month or so but I think  
this one will be a keeper.

Turned on  Orion this AM and screen says Flash Update Mode?

After about 4 power  on's over an hour, the system did load?"

I got a few replies that the  recall key may have been stuck.

Don't think it was stuck, but I have a  Bencher paddle with a Lucite cover.
It was very close to the rig, close  enough that  a small movement towaard
the rig would put pressure on  whatever button it contacted.

SO, not an Orion problem at  all.

WOnder how many Orion problems are also initiated by operator  actions
