[TenTec] Orion II update

[John Simon]

Many thanks to Barry and Jack for their replies.
I'm afraid I'm a knob twiddler so don't have or need control software for 
the Orin II,  but will check this out.

If you can't fix it with a hammer,
then you have an electrical problem!

a serial to USB cable works wonderfully for me. my computer has one serial
port but most of the communication from computer to radio and back is thru
serial to USB cables. I have two Orions and both talk with MIxW and LOGic9
just fine by that method.

PS a good quality serial to USB cable is desired for that application. I
have never had a problem but some folks have noted that cheap or no-name
cables sometimes do not work well. my cables came from the LOGic website and
were chosen for their reliability by Dennis, writer of LOGic.

This morning I tried to update my Orion II to a V3  s/ware from V2.44.  she
just sat there and ignored the updating.  I set the correct  serial port but
I had to use a USB adaptor as serial ports no longer exist on so-called
modern computers.
Any ideas?
