Hi Bob,
I can't help you there, but you just brought up another subject
which might be useful feedback to Ten-Tec.
There needs to be some way to save your old firmware version to
the computer before installing the new release.
That way, in case something goes wrong, you can always revert
back to the old release.

Subject: [TenTec] Orion fault
I have an intermittent problem with my Orion which was delivered
last
Tuesday. It may be that the problem is firmware related as I did
not
see it before I updated to V1.367 On the other hand, it may be
nothing
to do with the firmware. I wonder if any of you Orion users have
seen
anything like this?
When the fault is evident the side tone develops a rasping
quality that
I can best describe as having the characteristic you might
observe when
an rf arc strikes up somewhere in the system. That is what it
sounds
like though I don't think that's what it is, as the problem
persists
even if power output is wound right down to a minimum. Another
thing I
have observed, is that under normal circumstances when the sub rx
is
turned on the sidetone level increases as you here it from the
output of
both radios. When this fault occurs then turning on the sub rx
reduces
sidetone volume and turning it off increases it! The opposite of
the
norm. In both cases the sidetone retains it's rasping quality.
Sometimes turning the radio off and back on will clear the
problem,
sometimes it does not. Sometimes the radio works fine and then
the
problem arises.
As I have only seen this problem since doing the update to 1.367
it
seems logical to revert to 1.366 to see if that prevents the
fault
arising. Does anyone have a copy of the 1.366 file they can
e-mail to
me to try this? Anyone have any other thoughts?
Many thanks.
Bob, 5B4AGN, P3F
