Mike,
Check your A9 board. I had trouble with my Orion display and was coming by
Ten-Tec so I dropped of the radio and had them also look at some other
items. I asked them to check the A9 board because the rig was about 10 years
old. They only change 2 of the capacitors on the board. Shortly after I got
home, the screen started acting up again. I ordered a new A9 board and the
radio has since been fine. I just recently sold my old A9 board and the
buyer intends to replace all of the capacitors on the board.
73,
John

About a month ago, a board in my 7+ year old Orion 1 failed. Called Paul to
determine if they could repair the board - I was 98% sure the tech could but
simply wanted to be certain.
I mailed it yesterday and expect to have it re-installed in Orion next
Friday.
The other issue was the screen which has a reputation for failure. The
original manufacturer no longer supplied the screen which left Ten Tec
scrambling and searching for a new supplier. They found one.
Perhaps they could have blown off finding a new supplier and told owners
"sorry about that - you have a $2000 or so paper weight".
