[TenTec] Orion Sweep

[Grant Youngman]

I'm just going to repeat myself here.  You may have a problem 
specific to your radio  since there's no history of this as an issue. 

It would certainly be worth a call to tentec service to discuss it with 
them.   There are always a few radios with out-of-the-box issues, 
infant mortality problems, etc. and you may have just drawn the 
winning number on this.    If that's the case, and the problem is 
repeatable in the shop, I'm sure they'll be able to take care of it for 
you. No point in living with a problem, even if you don't use sweep 
very often.
