The excitement is building as Orion and Orion II owners anticipate the arrival
of the first firmware update for their fine rigs in nearly two years. Never
mind the Oscars, the Grammys, or even the Pulitzer, this 'red-carpet' event has
hams around the planet repeatedly aiming their browsers at the Ten Tec
Downloads page to see if anything new has shown up!
The recent e-mail that the beta testing was finished and that the factory
planned a release by the end of the week, plus an observation I made a couple
of years ago that most previous releases came on Fridays, has us all
anticipating the big arrival. If it does come tomorrow, it would be well-timed
for the start of the ARRL International CW DX contest, a perfect place to put
the new code to the ultimate test!
This time tomorrow, will we be jubilantly ruling the bands, sporting the "K3
killer" code, or will be be tossing and turning in our beds thinking "maybe
next week..."? Join us again tomorrow for another exciting adventure of "As
the Tuning Dial Turns"!
