Re: [TenTec] Orion RIT...

This is a very curious problem, and many of the posts we have seen here seem 
to indicate that it may have something to do with the through-plating on the 
double-sided circuit board.  Look very carefully at both sides of the 
circuit board where it's mounted using very bright light and a good 
magnifying glass or jeweler's loupe.
