[TenTec] Re: Orion: going back zu 1.371, read why

[George]

I use to get intermittent loss of either receiver. I thought it was the 
Orion. Turns out to be my computer when it boots up!!
I have the Orion hooked into my COM port to run RTTY and PSK31. It took me a 
while to associate the booting with loss of RX?????
Just my 2 cents.
George
