Ron,
I have the flicker in all three settings for brightness (no change in
flicker). Also running the latest version of softwear.
Someone commented it was trivial; and I said that in my first post! Was
more interested in finding out if anyone else observed the phenomna; and I
was surprised to find out it is a "known issue" with Ten Tec. From the
responses I have seen, it seems like it is not a universal problem; but that
has been the case with some of the other "issues" I have seen on the
reflector.
Maybe there is a "common denominator" in the radios that have the flicker?

I'm running Color 3 on the Orion II without any flicker (with the
backlight
set to LOW). With the backlight set HIGH, I still do not see any flicker.
Running the latest version of the OII software. Interesting since below
said TenTec has it classified as a known issue.........Would like to
understand the configurations that folks are observing the flicker.

I also get the flicker on colors 3 and 5 but it is not consistent. No
flicker on transmit. Ten Tec told me the flicker on 3 and 5 was a known
issue.

Interesting. I get LCD flicker all the time on colors 3 and 5, with
three being the most pronounced. Haven't consider it a "major
irritant" in that I use color 8 most of the time (color 2 when I get
sick of looking at blue!).
Wonder if anybody else has experienced this quark?

I recently changed the LCD Display and found that the light colored
background flickers when sending cw. Doesn't seem to matter if using
600w or all the way down to 5 w, I still get the flicker. Tried two
different antennas plus dummy load directly into the back of the OII,
still the flicker. I even wrapped key cord thru 2.5" toroid, still get
the flicker. This is apparent with Blk/Wht and Colors 1-2-5-6-7-8;
anybody else see this?
Tnx & 73
