[TenTec] Orion 565 updates

[Rick Williams]

Thanks for the list of repairs/mods Tommy.  

Am I alone in wondering if Ten-Tec would consider publishing these mods?
For example the FSK mod is published on the RFSquared site as well as, of
course, the "Updated CPU/DSP Board for 2.0 Firmware".  

I for one would love to update my Orion to these standards.  Sending back a
working Orion via FedEX International Air for some updates is not currently
cost effective. It sure would be nice if these mods were published.  Are
they part changes? part additions?  I'm sure some owners, myself included,
would like to update their own Orion if the information was available.

73,
