How to identify which Orion MKxxx you have (was: Naming of 7000 MKII)
Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2023 10:12 am
Since users started calling MKII made after July 2022, MKIII and Apache Labs releasing an actual MKIII in January 2023, it would seem prudent to stop calling any radio that is not actually marked a MKIII a MKIII.
Instead I would like to suggest that anyone with a radio made after July 2022 and before January 2023 should call it a MKIIB and those previous to July 2022 call their radios MKIIA.
This will help years from now to differentiate the different models. It is already confusing enough for new users. It is not as clear as some think on what is the proper Firmware and Software to use.
In a few weeks hopefully things will level out and all the firmware will be posted and labeled on the TAPR github.
