You did nothing wrong, just that Orion is too smart. It thought that you 
needed break, so it went to sleep :-)

I had the same thing happen in ARRL phone three times, one time I went away, 
came back to dead (just noise) RX. Looks like when we think that band is dead, 
no signals, we better turn it off and on just to make sure Orion is not 
"thinking". But don't worry, everything will be fixed by next release of free 
software update.

One case I had TX to quit transmitting after I was switching AGC. 
Another "feature" is when you key down and try to adjust the power level 
while watching the power meter - meter gets nervous, keeps fluctuating. Looks like 
it is under software control (it has "hang" time programed to 300 mS).
