That's ridiculous.  Yes there were some firmware issues, and still are a
few.

But "tinker"?  Nah!

As I've said too many times, my Orion was shipped the first day they
shipped.  I've lived through all of the firmware issues.  It is hardly a
radio that has to be tinkered with.  I don't have a lot a patience, and I
don't plan to part with my Orion any time soon.
