[TenTec] Happy Orion owners (was question about updates)

[Kc9cdt at aol.com]

Dennis,
Excuse me, we are not dysfunctional, we are only wanting out radios to be 
right.

Yes, we have some reported problems with the firmware in Orion's.
Yes, we have worked together to determine that it is a problem and not only 
an operational error.
Yes, we report them to TT (ditsnbits)
Yes, we expect TT to come up with the solution, NOT US, we are not the 
manufacturer, TT is and it's there job to fix these issues, not ours.
Yes, in some cases we recommend possible solutions (like put most of the DSP 
code back the way is was in 1.XX).
Yes, we paid pretty big money for a high end competition grade contest and 
weak sig. DX radio and expect a lot from it.

Yes, we love our Orion's and only want them to be better (and in some cases 
to work like before, as some of us had the originals)

Yes, we want to keep them and we don't want something else.

Most of us Orion owners are pretty experienced, pretty darn good folks and 
are not a bunch of complaining, whining worker bee's.

What model Orion are you using?
Contesting? Serious DX?
