 >I'd say you have something else going on other than problems with the new
software.  I've been punching buttons on 2.059 for two days now with nary a
"blue screen of death".

         I agree Grant.  K4IA has a problem
unique to his unit.

 >2.  The only "fuzzy" audio I've encountered is on the internal speaker, and
only on my v2 Orion.  On an external speaker there is no fuzz.  I have no
clue whether I have something mechanical with the internal speaker at issue,
or if there's some electrical difference in the internal/external speaker
connections.

 >As to "raspy and scratchy", I haven't observed that at all.
 >Both versions have been working quite well.  I like the way they play.

         Agreed...best ever V2 and nice to
see some new features.  Since the original
V2 betas, this is the first version I'm
leaving in rather than reverting to V1.

         Nice job Gary and team!
