[TenTec] Orion 1 problem

[Rick W]

Check the power supply and then I'd consider the A9 board capacitors!  The latter is worth doing anyway!!

Of course this mod applies ONLY to the Orion and Orion II.  I've never seen an Orion 1?

Hi all..
I have a TT Orion 1 that when booting up sometmes will have a pulsing noise 
in the main reciever...ssb signals sound like they are in reverse even 
though the proper ssb is indicated on the screen...this is mostly prevalent 
on 80 ssb. Doing a master reboot does not seem to help. I am running N4PY ver. 2.15E software and Orion ver. 2.04X11 firmware. PC is 
a Dell running Win XP with dedicated pci card serial ports to fire the 
Orion. Time to replace the Orion's battery? Software and firmware issue? Thanks to all that reply, de Denton WB7TDG
