Couple of questions to the group about TT's Orion firmware support.
1 - I have submitted a couple of bug reports to ditsnbits@tentec.com, but there
has never been any acknowledgement or reply. Is that everyone's experience, or
is it just me?
The latest way to kill your Orion (365-AT, 1.369): Send a "*TT0" (Antenna
tuner off) command. And, "*TTT" (start tune cycle) is a NO-OP. Does TT do
regression testing on firmware before releasing? Or is that the user's job? :-)
2 - The RFSquared web has a "Known Issues with Orion Firmware" entry that was
last updated on 3/28/2003. Wouldn't you like to have an up-to-date list? I
sure would. Have they no shame?
The updates do seem to keep coming out: good. But since I got my Orion (seems
like forever, but it came just 5 weeks ago), I have not heard peep from TT
itself, except in the order-taking department.
3 - Is there a "developers" mailing list for folks who are interested in Orion
programming?
Inquiring minds...
