  Jack, I visited the rfsquared website this morning, and it lists the
  most recent firmware updates as of 3/10, not 4/1. The current versions
  listed are v2.032 for the Orion II, and v2.056 for the Orion (565-V2). I
  did note that firmware v1.372 is listed for the Orion as well (565),
  which I don't recall having seen before along with 2.056.  Did you
  download a different version? 

  Lou, W0FK

  just posted on the firmware site, as of 1 April, new upgrades for both 
  Orion Classic and Orion 2.
  this is what I have found so far:
  A udio seems to be as robust as the audio in orion classic version
  1.371. P rocessor works fine all the way to level 10. R oger beep
  function now available in the ssb menu. I ncreased intelligibilty factor
  on nr. L ove the new ten tec logo when powering up.

  F ound several new features, still checking them out.
  O n the orion 2, the user now has more color schemes for front panel. O
  n the classic, the black and white display is blacker and whiter. L ooks
  like all issues have been cleaned up to me.

  i also heard the following rumors on the bands tonight. several hams
  were 
  talking about it, so it must be true.
  on the kenwood net, they said that the fcc is going to eliminate testing

  requirements for all phone licenses, while raising the testing speed for
  cw 
  back to 5,13, and 20wpm.
  some guys on 3.930 said they heard on radio free america that the arrl
  had 
  finally responded to the criticism of their proposal for incentive 
  licensing in the 1960's. as a result, the league was working on a first 
  draft of an apology which will be issued to all former members who were 
  general or conditional class licensees at that time.
  i also heard on 75 meters that both yaesu and icom were going to file
  for 
  bankruptcy.
