[TenTec] Orion Sweep

[Jess Young]

The repetition rate varies, but seems to increase as spikes on the sweep
display increase.  It varies from roughly 2 to 10 clicks per second.  A 
Master reset does not cure the problem.  The sweep range seems to make
no 
difference, and it occurs with either VFO in use.  The same sound is
heard
using an 8 ohm headset.  It cannot be heard on the speaker.

Since it can only be heard on quiet bands with the volume up over
halfway,
it is not a major problem.  I rarely use the sweep function anyway.

Thanks, Jess W8JY

Interesting.  Tried it again with the volume way up, but can't hear any 
clicks.

What's the repitition rate?  

Probably worth some discussion with T-T if it does seem to be a radio 
issue.  I don't recall anyone else mentioning something like that ...
which 
doesn't mean there isn't a problem.
