First thing I did was a complete reset (hold down VFOB LCK and power on,
waited for 'Battery Failure', let the rig come up completely, turn it off,
hold down the MAIN RX/TX button and power up, answer yes to both questions)
- but no luck. I also reloaded 2.37J firmware in hopes that that might fix
it - no luck.
It's not a real problem - just have to remember to set the RIT to +170 and
the PBT to +170, but would be nice to go back to the way it was. I fired
off an e-mail to TenTec - perhaps they will have some idea.

Oh , might as well try an "Orion salute" = Master reset - or the whole
shebang - maybe its little brain got scrambled.
