For no particular reason, I am reminded of the old saw "When the only tool you have is
a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail."

Just sayin.

This could be RF feedback getting into the Orion. The fact that it is band

Yep, the good old pin 1 problem. :) Haven't studied their later rigs, but the latest model Ten Tec I owned, an Omni V, had pin 1 problems at all the rear
panel connectors. They're not alone -- nearly every ham rig and every ham
accessory is built with pin 1 problems.
