Neal,
I'm using the same setup and I have never experienced anything near what you
describe.
Please send this question to the microHAM reflector. I suspect that Joe or
Jozef will have an answer for you.

Subject: [TenTec] Orion2 Anomaly w/MK2R+
I swapped my Orion for a O2 at christmas as well as got a MK2R+ which
is a tremendous upgrade of the shack! The MK2R+ is connected to the
Microham Band Decoder just so you have a full understanding of the
setup.
I am having a strange thing occur when using this setup with Writelog
and Win-Test (have not tried it out in general operating modes yet).
It seems that very soon after establishing the contest program and
setting things up, the Orion 2 will somehow "reset" to frequency
0000.00. Sometimes I can just punch the band button to return to
where I was before the "reset", sometimes I cannot. I have noticed
that sometimes it apparently scrambles the internal memory of the O2,
as i can go into the menu and the settings will be corrupted (well
actually the setting titles, the settings themselves I am not sure
of). In this case, a power recycle restores things (and it will
sometimes do the "reset" again.
I cannot tell if this is an artifact of the MK2R+ or the O2.
I also have seen a variation where it appears that the rig will
revert to another band-stacked setting (which is usually at the
beginning of the band in question, like 14000.00 for 20m).
I am running the latest on both the O2 as well as the MK2R+.
Any ideas?
