Tried this on the Orion 1 (2.059d).  I get a big "<" sign on screen, but 
the radio kinda continues to work.  After a while, I realized that the 
audio gain controls are frozen!

Fiddling with other controls (like menu button) seems to clear it.

So maybe 2.059d really does share code with the O II versions...

I've had the SubRx audio stuck in "mute" several times, requiring a 
master reset.  That, along with the audio level issues others are reporting.

The code has improved, no doubt, but there are still some rough edges. 
Maybe we could ask for a dual boot capability?  Choose between "stable" 
and "bleeding edge" firmware versions at power on time!
