[TenTec] Orion Lost Audio - Please HELP

[Tommy]

I urge everyone who is having this problem to report it to Ten Tec via their
ditsnbits email address (where you get firmware downloads). So far only a
few of us have reported this problem and for what ever reason, the message
is NOT getting to Ten Tec that this IS a problem with ALL Orions and just
not one or two. They are not listening to three of four persons complaining
about it, so maybe it would help if everyone who observes the problem
REPORT'S IT TO TEN TEC.

Thanks for your help.

that fit, so the Begali is connected to the MFJ, the Brass Racer to the
Orion. And I am not enamoured of the Vibroplex'   feel so I generally twist
the knob on the keyer and grab the B.
