[TenTec] Another O2 bug

Hi,

I'm sorry to have to report another bug.  The O2 simply stops transmitting 
and receiving, while the TFT display and meter light remain lit.  The display is 
frozen.  This happens totally at random -- I could be transmitting, 
receiving, or simply entering data into memories.  It happens whether or not the sweep 
is running.  To restore the radio to normal operation, I turn BOTH the radio 
and power supply off, leave them off for 3-4 minutes, then turn them on.  That 
always works.  Just turning off the radio, while leaving the power supply 
running, doesn't.  RAM Clear has no apparent effect (it clears the memories, but 
doesn't restore the radio).

I talked with Paul Clinton at Ten-Tec about this today, and he agreed that 
it's a software bug.  Solution TBD....

73,

Ray W2RS
