My experience with the Orion 565 is that it's not uncommon for them to
develop issues in these areas:
- LCD screen losing contrast and/or brightness
- Malfunctioning of encoder connectivity: RIT, MULTI, Tuning
- Electrolytic capacitors on A9 power distribution board need replacement
- Battery needs replacement
The second two issues are easily dealt with. I would consider its
reliability as slightly below average but its performance way, way, way
above average.
