[TenTec] Original Orion question

[Ron Castro]

Absolutely!  The firmware currently on the radio dates back to the one of 
the earliest production dates and has never been updated, and as a result, 
the radio crashes often during contest conditions.  I understand that 
1.373b5 is considerably more stable than the much earlier versions.  I'll 
know for certain this time next week!
