[TenTec] Orion II Firmware Release

[ringlord]

Thanks John Henry,
As a relatively new O2 owner (7 weeks or so) I find it reassuring that 
at least TT are reading the mail. My O2 was delivered with 039A on board 
and I have been hesitant to upgrade to 041A let alone 042A.  These have 
both it would seem been released as Beta versions and to me that says 
what it says; there is no point winging about bugs in Betas..  Having 
said that though, there does seem to be an extraordinarily long lead 
time between releasing Beta versions and releasing the final versions.

I like many others  (I presume) took the gamble on the O2 fully knowing 
the history and inherent shortcomings.  I gambled because I wanted that 
extraordinary front end.  I gave up the bells and whistles on the 
"others" and I am overjoyed that I did.  I am now working stations that 
in the past could hear me but whom I could not copy.  Strong adjacent 
QRM is also now not nearly so much of a problem.  I guess I have found 
what I was after.  Sure would be nice if all the bugs were out of the 
system and the never ending promises of a new screen board came to 
fruition; I guess I'll have to be patient.  In the mean time I have one 
hell of a beast on the desk in front of me that eats the rice burners 
for reception and is not to shabby on Tx.
