[TenTec] Orion and UPDATE mode.

[K4IA@aol.com]

During Field Day, I ran a powered speaker out of the Phone Jack in the  front 
of the Orion.  I had a splitter and listened on earphones.  The  powered 
speaker was so the peanut gallery could hear what was going on.
 
On one point, I pulled out the plug on the powered speaker out of the jack  
and got that AC hum in the powered speaker that you sometimes get when touch 
the  plug tip to ground.
 
It caused the Orion to do a Master Reset back to factory defaults.   Don't 
know why it happened but it sure was disconcerting to have to readjust all  my 
settings in the midst of the contest.
