As promised, I am reporting on my Original Orion Classic One... it came back
from service last night. The firmware remains v1.372. It seems what I got was
indeed the board mod in anticipation of v2.0.
Just a quick bit of dap for Ten-Tec service - I sent my rig off Tuesday 12/6.
Ten-Tec received it on Thursday 12/8. When I called on Friday 12/9 to make
sure they had gotten it it was already on the bench and they told me what was
wrong with it.
Monday 12/12 it had finished the 24 hour burn in and was waiting final tests.
I got an email Tuesday 12/13 that it was all done. It shipped out Wednesday
12/14 and I got it back last night, Friday, 12/16. Ten days from door to door.
They got it on a Thursday and finished it the next Tuesday, 4 working days.
YMMV, but that is very impressive in my book and they deserve the credit.
UPS dropped it off around 1930 local - just a few minutes after I put KP5 in
the log using the FT-920. No damage.
