Bob,

  The exact same thing happened to my Oll in June. I had already replaced the 3 
caps on the A-9 board so I checked the voltages and they were ok. The battery 
had been replaced when I did the 3 caps.

In short, I sent the radio to TT via the procedure they request, obtain  RMA 
etc.

I am looking at the repair slip. They replaced two 470 uf caps on the cpu 
board. Also replaced one 16 uh inductor on the DC inverter board.

While there they did alignment of the Recv and Xmtr to factory specs. Test 
function/ operation,  Test Burn in/ heat rack,   Test Final on air check.

The final bill was $203.65. This does not include shipping to and from.


I am more than pleased with the service dept.


Andy, W3LI

Subject: [TenTec] Orion II Black Screen


I am getting ready for our annual Multi-Two N7AT fun in CQWW SSB, this
weekend. One of the op positions has my Orion II. Today, I turned the Orion  II
on and no screen appeared, just blank/black. The radio appears to be
functioning fine but no screen. It does not appear to be power supply  related.

It worked fine two days ago (and generally trouble free since 2006 when I
bought it new). Latest firmware 3.033xe installed and RX-366. Battery was
recently replaced.

Any guidance you can give me. The radio is contest-unusable as is.

TNX.
