[TenTec] V 2.062a Orion 565AT

[Robert Carroll]

Merle and Owen and Dick-

I have had the same problem several times--the no main RX part, that is.  I
don't use sweep.

I had used the Orion (2.062a) this morning a little with no problem.  I
returned to the shack around 3PM and turned it back on.  There were weak
signals in the sub, no sign of life in the main RX.  I changed bands, turned
the tuning dial, turned the NL on and off, etc with no results.  As the next
step I turned the set off and back on--no change.  Master reset and all was
well.  

Shades of V1!  At least there is comfort in numbers.

"Does any one have the same problem I have with V 2.062a?  When I attempt to

change bands or modes after a few minutes of operation, all signals are lost

from the audio and the band scope, yet the rest of the display appears
normal.  
Turning the Orion off, and back on after an hour or so, restores the
signals, 
only to be lost again after a few minutes when attempting a band change.  
Master resets do not help.  I reloaded V2.059, and the rig works
normally,with 
no problems changing bands or modes.  Meanwhile, I am living with V 2.059

Owen, 
I have now had the same problem twice. Tonight I decided to try some
"control changes" to try to find
a way to get the receiver back without powering off/on. I was on 20M and
switched to 40M when I found the signals
had disappeared. I checked several bands and I found that I could hear one
signal on 30M but the S-meter was not moving
and the signal was not strong. Next I went back to 20M and I could hear
signals normally on that band, but not others - 80M, 40M,
30M. Next I went back to 20M and I changed the RF gain control. When I went
to 30M I could clearly hear several signals on the band
and the band noise level was up on the S-meter - same for 40M and 80M. At
this point all seems to be operating as
it should be. Others using v2.062a may want to watch for this issue.
Thanks & 73, Merle
