Yep, well it's interesting that this just popped up on the ICOM reflector. Bad words edited out.

Well, it finally happened. My 746 pro transmit told me to leave it alone. No transmit on any hf band or 6 meters. To top it off I can't seem to bring up the Icom America webpage. What gods transpire to this type of affliction? I am extremely disappointed in Icom and the 746 pro. Are there any out there that this doesn't happen to? I guess it's time to play the send it off and hope like h it comes back right game.

After spending 4 months with my Orion I'm tired of Ram resets and power off
resets.
I have a FT 1000mp/mkV and a SX 101mkIII with my Orion
Guess what people anything I can hear on the Orion I can hear and work on
my Sx 101 mkIII , a fifty year old radio.


If indeed the problems I'm having are firmware then Ten Tec should have
never released the radio for sale.  Not only that were paying a premium
price to sort out their short comings.

If the fixes are hardware they should buy them back as Heathkit did when
they made the HW 2026.

The only thing we can say about the Orion is it's American made, and Piss
poor Quality as we can come to expect from our industrial makers.
