Art, to update the firmware, you should start your Orion I by pressing
the User 2 key and turning the power on, keeping the User 2 key pressed
until you see Flash Update Mode on the Orion's screen. Then start the
upload from your computer to the radio. Ten-Tec presents this
information in the README file on the site. Good luck -- I'm quite
happy with 2.062a, I hope you will be!
