[TenTec] Orion & SSCW - Comments?

[Josh Kelly]

Hi Jack and the group this is Josh, N4VB.  I had the same thing (on rx only)
today..  I switched

from user 2 back to user 1, and there was no sound, nothing.  The s met. was
moving and the sweep

had strong signals on it.   Same on ssb on all bands.  In about 5 mi. the
sound started to return, but in

waves???   In 10 to 15 mi. all was ok.  I was like the squelch went wild.
DXUPON all.....
