Since few are "reading" the [Orion] list, I am passing this info to this
list.
I am still seeing the bug and the S-meter is freezing at different levels.
This time it was at 20+S9. I wasn't in the shack when it froze. The sweep
was at zero.

Ditto on the great rig. My O1 was nice, too.
I have also seen "your" bug on my new O2 rig also. I have seen that the
s-meter freezes as does the sweep data (grid is ok). It seems that the
sweep display isn't getting data and both get data from the same place the
S-meter gets data. The S-meter readings have been frozen at different
values. The last freeze, the S-meter and the sweep were both zero. I think
that even when the S-meter was "5", the sweep was zero.
I was set up in the kitchen (no ground) when I first saw the bug and was in
receiving mode. I moved to the shack in the cold basement and connected
things up with a good ground. I have seen it twice today. Both times I was
just listening to the band. Unfortunately I was not actively listening at
the time, but one of the early bugs I "think" I noticed a static crash just
before I noticed the freeze. I will keep listening.
I am using an Astron SS-30 switching supply.

Subject: [Orion] My first Orion II bug
Received my Orion II last night and got it hooked up today.
First impression: superb rig
Have noticed one bug so far and not a fatal one. The sweep will run for a
while (not sure how long, an hour?) and then switch off. Toggling the SWEEP
button will not bring it back. Cycling the POWER switch will restore the
sweep for a while.
I am using software version 2.025
