[TenTec] Orion & SSCW - Comments?

[jack]

i have had the Orion quit transmitting in the middle of a transmission a
couple times ...turning it off and back on again fixed the problem for the
moment ...it is a funny feeling to note that TX all of a sudden stops and
there is nothing but off and back on again to get back on the air ...jack
