Given the nature of common issues with the Orion, it is more than likely
microprocessor connector related. I have had multiple issues with my Orion
(including the described issue). The long-tern fix, as mentioned by N4PY, is to
take off the front panel and re-seat the ribbon connectors. This does not mean
that it couldn't be a capacitor or other hardware related item but in my
opinion this is the most probably and easiest to diagnose/fix.
The entire process of re-seating the connectors takes me about 10 minutes.
I hope this is of value to the group.

Capacitors on the power distribution board likely need replacing. Or the
fuse connector has some oxidation or corrosion. Looks for signs of heating.

Admittedly she has set a while, since I recently relocated.
When I turn on the radio, after the initiazation sequence, there is only
static from the speaker.
Cycling power a 2nd time and all is well..
Any Ideas??
