Bob -
The Vaseline on the pivot helped a lot. The noise is still there, but I
think I can live with what's left.
I may try some of Stuart's padding suggestions. The noise is from the
button and not the switch and padding out the pivot point and where the
sides of the button brush the case would do the trick, but there is
little clearance in either spot.
Thanks for the help, Bob and Stuart.

I have two of them. Found that if I carefully opened the case {watch
for spring loaded parts} by removing 3 screws in the back, and using
Vaseline to lubricate the PTT button pivot at 2 places {front and back
half} and the tip of the bar that activates the switch the issue is
corrected. A flat toothpick is ideal for applying a very small amount
of the lubricant. I don't advocate using any type of spray lubricant
under any circumstance.

I just received a new 703 microphone to use with my Orion.
The audio is fine. But, the push to talk button is very loud over
the air. You can hear the button moving when you close the circuit
and when you release the button.
