[Orion] Turns off with rapid VFO QSY

[Martin, AA6E]

Jim,

What do you mean "turned off"?  Lost receiver audio? What firmware version?

I've never seen that problem, but I observe that lots of things slow
down when you spin the VFO rapidly.  Maybe some eager engineer could
go in and measure the DragonBall's case temperature vs VFO activity. 
Your problem and recovery sounds like overheating.  (hi)

Moral: if spinning the VFO knob causes trouble, don't spin the VFO knob...

As everybody is saying, just wait for firmware version 2.  (It will
come with a different set of bugs. :-)

It did come back on with the power switch after a couple of minutes of being off.  Has anyone else seen that?
