[TenTec] Orion RIT encoder

[Ron Castro]

Barry:

The connector that has been mentioned that caused the problem can be seen in 
the picture on page 4 of the Orion (565) V2 Logic Mod.  It's the connector 
marked A.  I checked the straightness of all of the pins and slightly bent 
the ones the original post mentioned but found the 'fix' only worked for a 
short time.  I opened the radio again and found a connector on the same 
board that was not connected to a ribbon cable, but rather connected two 
board together.  I very carefully 'massaged' the boards to exercise the 
connector pins and that fixed the problem for good!  It's probably been a 
year since I did that and no further problems.
