I don't see a posting about this, but I've been running 1.371 almost since
it came out but I've been busy and not QRV often. Tonite in the middle of a
CW QSO while transmitting, it quit. My Centurion remained keyed, but no CW.
I power cycled the Orion, and same thing - if I started to transmit, the
Orion would go into transmit mode, but no CW - no sidetone, no power.
Finally I did a master reset, and it went back to working - very briefly,
maybe a minute of CW. Then the same thing showed up. After two more master
resets, I was beside myself since this Orion is supposed to be our club's CW
rig for Field Day. Just for grins, I reloaded 1.370 and all is back to
normal, at least for now. This is just FYI, and no, I wasn't running the
dreaded spectrum display.
73, John
