[TenTec] Observatons

[Rick Williams]

Mine occurred on 40 metres into a 253 tuner that had been working for other
QSOs and on 20 metres into a SteppIR without the tuner.  In 2 of the 3 cases
a power cycle of the Orion was all that was needed.  In the 3rd case a
complete reset was required.

I haven't yet encountered it on CW but I've had very few contacts on CW
since installing 2.055.

Rick,

Does it occur after you press the "TUNE" button in SSB mode?

On mine that's when the keying loop stays on.  This doesn't happen in
CW.

When it occurs mine can be reset by cycling the radio power.
