There's a battery behind the front panel of the Orion. It may need to be replaced. Follow the old instructions on the Tentec site for how to modify the Orion for the Version 2 sweep to get to the battery.

After being able to load software into the radio again, not sure if it was
PC serial port cable or connectors but it's okay now, I'm now seeing that at
almost every power cycle the radio does a master reset. The sequence of
events is as follows:



Radio off

Power up and master reset complete appears

Radio boots but has unusable audio

Power down followed by power up again about 5 seconds later radio starts
normally

Power off and leave for a short while, sometimes only 20 seconds or so,
power up again causes master reset



Needless to say this is frustrating.



RAM clear and forced master reset do not appear to have helped.



Is it a 'known' issue?



Thanks

Martin, HS0ZED
