Re: [TenTec] Orion low Power on 15 meters and high frequencies

Rol,
  Do you happen to have the LDG tuner in your Orion? I've noted a occasional 
strange issue where the tuner should be disabled and not having an effect, but 
the relay is not engaged on the tuner board that bypasses it. After doing one 
tune cycle and then disabling the tuner stopped that.

  Not exactly the same, but maybe some combination of things caused by an odd 
state.

  Might not hurt to do as Ten-Tec sugests though (if its not tuner related). If 
one of the mini coax connectors is making erattic contact, it could cause such 
odd behavior. I've used some CircuitWorks CW7400 Gold 
Guard cleaner/lubricant on 
these connectors (this is for any 'noble' metal contacts).
