Yikes!
I'm a new (3 weeks) Orion owner and long-term Ten-Tec fan, but I must admit,
this Orion is trying my patience.
I have the latest software, and have noticed "anomalies" which I documented in
an email to Ten-Tec.
I was adjusting the BW knob and this unusual message popped up on the screen:

The radio state, at least as depicted by the front panel, is here:

Further adjustment of the BW knob produced this screen output:

Power-Cycling the radio cleared this condition.
I did talk with Paul Clinton, a great service guy at Ten-Tec, but about all he
could suggest is doing a Master Reset, and maybe send mail to ditsnbits.
The radio mostly works, but, for example, I don't hear any difference with the
panaramic stereo (I did once, but it didn't seem to work now.)
Sooooo, I figured, what the heck, do a Master Reset and maybe it'll fix it.
Fix it?
NOW, the "MULTI" knob does not work! I go into the menus and I can't set
parameters because the MULTI knob is a no-op!
I've tried multiple "Master Resets" but the MULTI knob remains a no-op.
Has anybody else had this problem, and is there a fix, or some other reset I
don't know about?
Thanks! -Mike K3MC
