>>I just got my Orion II and have a problem with it.

>> FW is 2037j
>> Orion II is 4 days old.

>> With factory settings after my Orion has been on for about an hour the
>> Receive goes into distortion. I can recycle the radio and then I have
>> clear audio. But after a period of 40 to 60 min without touching
>> anything on the rig the audio goes into distortion again. After another
>> re-cycle it behaves correctly until another 40-60 minutes goes by. I can
>> hear the distortion in the audio go gradually and then audio is
>> completely distorted and can only be fixed with the power on/off switch.
>>
>> I'm thinking the PLL is unlocking but I thought I ask here to see if
>> anyone has the same symptoms.
>>
>> Again, I'm not adjusting anything on the radio. The distortion happens on
>> every band (SSB), Main RX. Here are the filter parameters on the main RX.
>>
>> Main = LSB
>> BW= 3000
>> PBT = +0
>> Stock SSB Xtal filter.
>> NB = Off
>> NR = Off
>> Notch = Off
>> AN = Off
>> BINRX = Off
>> SUB = Off
>>
>> I do have the 300/600 CW Filters installed but not selected yet.
>> I tested the Orion II in TX CW and it also it distorted. I do a re-cycle
>> and the CW TX clears up.
>> So what do you folks think?
>> Thanks and 73,
