[Orion] Orion just locks up: why, what?

[Gary Tuck]

MIke, when you say you lock up, does anything still seem to work?  Does 
the frequency readout still change and volume or is it frozen in all 
regards?  I've had three or four occasions where I seem to be receiving 
OK at first.  The VFO changes the readout and the volume adjusts the 
volume but no signals--it's like I'm frozen in time.  In fact, when I 
ground the antenna or change antennas, I get the same background noise.
