Remove the front panel and remove all the connectors, spray them with a good contact cleaner, then plug and unplug them several times. That has fixed several Orion's lately.

Just now my Orion II audio in the main receiver quit. At the same time the 
S-meter appears to have settled to zero or nearly so. I waited a couple seconds 
and the audio came back then quit again. The bar graph for the second receiver 
appears to working okay.  Waiting a few more seconds, the display slowly faded 
out to nearly white. I switched the O2 off and on and it came back okay. Then 
after a few seconds it repeated the same symptoms. Right now it is off and I'm 
letting it cool down to see if that makes a difference.


Rig has the latest firmware and has been reliable up to this point.


Any suggestions?


Thanks and 73, Rod/w7zrc
