Do you have an MW/HF signal generator of some sort? If so, the next time
the received signals disappear but you still have noise, try sweeping the
generator over its range with the Orion in SSB or CW. I suspect at some
point--with the sig gen not in the selected ham band--you will hear the
generator sweep through. I had a similar problem and it turned out to be a
broken synthesizer. A trip back to TT was required.

I have the Orion, not the II. I got it used naturally about 2 weeks ago. It
has developed a strange problem. The signal just disappears and will key but
no output. It's like it lost the rx signals. I still have noise. It will
sometimes come back with off and on. Most of the time on the Main rx.
Sometimes on both. Any help I will be most greatful. I use CW 90% of the
time. Set UCW, BW 1000, PBT 0, 90 WATTS. It has the internal tuner. I don't
have any optional filters engaged. I set to auto. Tnxs Roger W4IV But I do
love this Big O.
