[TenTec] V2.059d

[David Fisher]

I ran rtty(afsk) on my Orion 565 a few weeks ago without any problem. I 
tried to participate in this past weekend's rtty test (post V2.059d) and 
was unable to tune any rtty transmissions. The only change made  here 
between the 2 events was installation of the firmware upgrade. I talked 
with TT today and they didn't think that the upgrade was the problem. I 
would appreciate hearing of other's experiences (good or bad) running 
this mode post V2.059d.
