I chimed in on this one a few weeks ago.
Same problem since day one. I bought my used Orion 1 from Ten Tec but the
Sub receiver never worked. A couple of trips to the factory, returned to me
& it worked for a couple of hours then died.
Resets did not fix the problem. I may tear down the front panel clean some
pins and connectors on the board but doubt if that will fix the problem.

Subject: Re: [TenTec] Orion sub receiver getting no signals
well…shoot..
that lasted all of 1/2 hour!
The past week or so, I has been inoperative on boot up…
and it boots up with swishing noise that repeats itself or it seems to work
but can’t her anything but background (processor) noise, or receive sigs are
way down in the background.
So for the time being it will be designated back up rig in the closet…and
will run my omni 7 for the duration.
I also have a chance ti purchase an unknown condition orion sub receiver
board but not too sure want to mess with that.
I seems to be something that is not letting the sub receiver board connect
to the rest of the system correctly..
I have not yet done much in the way of diagnostics…but will take some time
this fall to pull the sub receive board and see if anything amiss…cold
solder joints, etc, clean contacts and trace down cabling.

a little followup..
sub rx was inoperable this am…booted up with sub rx on ant 1 and vfo b
enabled yesterday.
after letting the rig on for about 3 hours, I rebooted the rig with sub rx
off on the ant and vfo buttons.
after reboot, enabled sub rx on vfo b and ant 1 buttons. Sub rx now works
normally….

Hi all…my trusty Orion that came back from TT for processor board
replacement a few months ago seems to have no receive signals…this
happened this am when booting up the rig.
I use ant 1 as main rx/tx as well as sub rx.
I can hear the sub noise come up when pressing the sub rx button, but
evidently getting no signals from the antenna.
I have only one hf antenna.
Did a master reset to no avail.
loose cable maybe??
