[TenTec] Orion vs Orion II firmware updates

[Ron Castro]

Good comparison.  I looks like there were a number of small fixes that were 
specific to the 566, as well as the operation features that were for both. 
The QSK one is the only possible exception.  Although I don't use fast QSK 
on my 566, I checked it last night and it seems to be pretty fast with full 
receive restored between letters at 22-28 WPM.
