[TenTec] firmware crash issue and bad uploads

[Leonard J. Umina]

I finally got my Orion to upload 2.062 and verify OK after the upload.  I
did it by messing with the windows driver for the com port.  In my case I
was using a USB com port which is all I have and I was getting bad verifies
and the rig would crash with varying symptoms depending on where the bad
data was I'm sure.

 

I set the com port (control panel/ system/device manager/ports/com3) for
hardware flow control.  I also adjusted the response parameters for faster
response.  The very next upload worked perfectly, and the verify gave me the
message I wanted to see..File and Firmware verified OK.
