[TenTec] Orion II firmware problems

[David E. Shelton]

I am using microHAM MK to interface the rig but I have tried it both ways
via the direct COM port cable as well. Neither works well. I do enjoy the
rig but there are definite problems that are quite irritating to say the
least. In particular, what about the overall reliability of the rig say in a
contest situation or chasing that rare DX station. I am starting to think
that there are more important things than the specs of the rig.

  Is it just me or does the current version of FW 2.037j have some issues
with
computer interfacing the Orion II. I can't get DX4WIN, MixW, WriteLog, or
several others to interface smoothly with 2.037j. I reverted back to 2.034
and the problems are gone. When will this be fixed? I looks like the FW was
released September 7. This is a fairly significant problem that would affect
about everyone with these rigs. Is there a work around other than using
2.034? Thanks,
David, N4IN
