[TenTec] Orion 565 running firmware version 2.059d

[Charles Delaune]

Sounds like a winner to me, and I can't wait to install it, but before I can
I need a serial to USB adapter for this laptop (no serial port). I'm sure
many of you have the same situation...that is, no serial port on your
"modern" PC. If so, please advise on your particular adaptor manufacture if
you are experiencing zero problems with data transfer. I understand Belkin
would be a good purchase. Some others are junk and are causing problems.
Also, does Windows XP Home Addition contain the driver I need or do I need
to make sure the adaptor comes with the driver? Otherwise I'm sure I'll be
able to download what I need from the manufactures Website.

I am ecstatic regarding this latest update. The improvements to the
transmit audio adjustment process are greatly appreciated. The Speech
Processor works too. Changes to the AGC, including the new AGC Slope
function quieted the old runaway train! NR, even in setting '1', is
highly effective in reducing residual background noise. And the SWEEP is
far more responsive than ever before and actually useful to me for the
first time. And there is more too. I guess what I am trying to share is
that in my opinion my Orion has never sounded better or worked better.

Ten-Tec engineering told me about two weeks ago to expect this update
'shortly' and they came through. I expected once the Omni-VII went into
preproduction its firmware would be temporarily frozen and the engineers
could shift their attention back to us Orion owners for a bit. I for one
appreciate the efforts and results they have made. The improvements I am
experiencing in my Orion's performance under this new firmware are
happily more than what I expected.

Thanks Ten-Tec.
