[TenTec] Orion "anomalies"

[Mike Cheponis]

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
