[TenTec] Orion and O II Firmware Update?

[John]

Walt....

My wish is simply that can make the AGC change.  My original Orion is 
superior to my Orion II in that regard.  Others agree.  I believe TT must 
also, as they are pushing that as the one of the bigger changes coming in 
the upgrade now in beta testing.
