[TenTec] Cool Orion

No, the flickering does not seem to be related to voltage as I have tried 
the Orion on 3 different power supplys.   sometimes when I first turn the 
rig on in the morning there will be no contrast just a blue screen and after 
10 min it starts to flicker and come back to normal.
and at other times it works OK after just turning on and after 30 min. it 
starts to flicker and the contrast changes. then I have to go into the menu 
and re-adjust the contrast, sometimes I have to increase it and other times 
decrease it.  it is not power related as I have the power set to 5 watts to 
drive vhf transverters. and it does it with out even transmitting just 
listening.   talking to Paul at TT we both think that we have a bad solder 
connection,  we will be sending it back for them to have a look at it 
sometime in August,  should be nice and hot back there so it should show up 
for them. sometime days will go by and it works just fine.  still this is 
the best rig I have ever had. just awesome when used for vhf and I have had 
a lot of the other high end rigs in the past. this replaced my omni 6 + 
which I traded in  (someone got a good rig.)
