Bob,
Have you tried doing a factory reset and then the memory backup battery
reset also? Look at the Ten-Tec site for the comment on my screen going
blank. It is a process of turning on the rig while holding in the VFO B
lock button. There is a battery for the memory which this effectively
disconnects and lets that memory start fresh.
73,
John

Subject: [TenTec] Orion fault
I have an intermittent problem with my Orion which was delivered last
Tuesday. It may be that the problem is firmware related as I did not
see it before I updated to V1.367 On the other hand, it may be nothing
to do with the firmware. I wonder if any of you Orion users have seen
anything like this?
When the fault is evident the side tone develops a rasping quality that
I can best describe as having the characteristic you might observe when
an rf arc strikes up somewhere in the system. That is what it sounds
like though I don't think that's what it is, as the problem persists
even if power output is wound right down to a minimum. Another thing I
have observed, is that under normal circumstances when the sub rx is
turned on the sidetone level increases as you here it from the output of
both radios. When this fault occurs then turning on the sub rx reduces
sidetone volume and turning it off increases it! The opposite of the
norm. In both cases the sidetone retains it's rasping quality.
Sometimes turning the radio off and back on will clear the problem,
sometimes it does not. Sometimes the radio works fine and then the
problem arises.
As I have only seen this problem since doing the update to 1.367 it
seems logical to revert to 1.366 to see if that prevents the fault
arising. Does anyone have a copy of the 1.366 file they can e-mail to
me to try this? Anyone have any other thoughts?
Many thanks.
Bob, 5B4AGN, P3F
