[WT-support] spotting bug

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Rick,

If you are using an Orion II, make sure you select radio type:  "Ten Tec
Orion II" instead of "Ten Tec Orion".

You might also want to check your COM port settings in Win-Test to make sure
you are using all the Orion defaults:  press the "TenTec Orion II Defaults
Settings" button after pressing the [Configure] button next to the COM port
for Radio 1.  Make sure the MicroHam router software is using the same
settiings.

If that does'nt fix it, please open a bug report at
http://bugs.win-test.comwith step-by-step instructions explaining how
to reproduce the problem.

If you are using a microHAM interface and capture the communications log on
the virtual serial port to the radio, that will help them debug the
problem.  Add that info. to the bug report.

73,
Bob, N6TV
