Joe,

Glad you got your Orion, I think you'll come to really love it. It's the best thing going today for RX performance.

The problem you found seems to be a common problem many of us are seeing.

When this happens, if you can, try to record all you can and send it into ditnbits. It may not be all that practical, but we all try.

It may or may not be a microcode problem, don't have an answer to that yet.

I'm seeing a couple of different symptoms,

1) the RX just gets poor, signal is there but weak and distorted., No display changes all controlls seem to work, I just master reset and go on.

2) The RX Stops No Signal, static though, and TX stops, there is the lettering "DSP T/O 0" next to the send 2 key on the screen. Again, master reset, and back on the air.

These happen at inopportune times, I've tried to keep the sweep off as it reduces the number of occurances. Yet I've had it happen even with the sweep off. It may be related to the PC polling the rig.

It took a master reset. Don't understand why the problem arose in the first place. I was copying CW on 30M when all of a sudden the problem appeared. Finally decided on trying a master rest after having changed power supplies without any improvement.

73, Joe
