[TenTec] Orion ll Firmware 2.044A Will Not Load

[RM]

Ron,

Darn, I did make a mistake.  The current software version on my Orion II is
2.039d.  This is what happens late at night.......

I still cannot load the new firmware update.

It sounds like you're using an 'original' Orion, not an Orion II.  Firmware 
version 2.06x is for the 'original' Orion (565), so you won't be able to 
load version 2.044A since it's only for the Orion II (566).
