[Orion] Re: Orion Digest, Vol 12, Issue 2

[Toby Pennington]

Dan, try a master reset and see if some of the problems do not go away. If 
those kinds of problems persist, I would call TT and let them walk you 
through your problems. They will go out of their way to help you with those 
problems. Very nice and patient folks there at Ten Tec.  Toby W4CAK
